EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness the indomitable spirit of rugby legend Jonah Lomu. The image portrays a determined Lomu, at 34 years old, during a press conference in Marseille, southern France. It was on July 10,2009, that he confirmed his signing with French third division side Marseille Vitrolles for the upcoming season. Having earned an impressive 63 caps for his country and establishing himself as one of the greatest wingers to grace the sport, Lomu's illustrious top-flight career was tragically cut short by a debilitating kidney illness. However, his unwavering passion and resilience shone through as he underwent a life-saving transplant in July 2004. The portrait captures not just Lomu's physical stature but also his unwavering determination to overcome adversity and continue pursuing his love for rugby. With eyes filled with determination and strength radiating from every pore of his being, it is evident that nothing can deter him from making an impact on the field once again. This photograph serves as a testament to Jonah Lomu's enduring legacy – an inspiration not only to aspiring athletes but also to anyone facing challenges in their lives. It encapsulates the essence of courage and perseverance that defines true sportsmanship. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Lomu's remarkable journey and how he triumphed over adversity time and time again.
