EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from the 1972 Munich Olympics, we witness an intense moment during the Men's 5000m final. The Olympiastadion in Munich, West Germany serves as the backdrop for this thrilling race that would go down in history. As Finland's Lasse Viren (#228) and Tunisia's Mohammed Gammoudi (#904) sprint towards the finish line, their determination is palpable. Viren, a legendary athlete known for his exceptional endurance and speed, emerges victorious in this fierce competition. His triumph not only secured him the gold medal but also marked a significant milestone as he completed the remarkable 5K/10K double. This feat solidified Viren's status as one of the greatest long-distance runners of all time. Gammoudi, on the other hand, showcases incredible skill and resilience throughout the race. Despite falling short of first place, his impressive performance earns him a well-deserved silver medal. Both athletes push themselves to their limits in pursuit of Olympic glory.
