EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment from the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics, specifically the Men's Four Bobsleigh event. The image showcases the West Germany Two team as they compete on the treacherous slopes of Mount Teine in Japan. Despite their valiant efforts, this determined quartet ultimately secured a commendable fifth-place finish. The four athletes depicted in this historic snapshot are Horst Floth, Donat Ertel, Walter Gillik, and Pepi Bader. Each member of this formidable team exudes sheer determination and focus as they navigate through the icy track with incredible speed and precision. The intensity of their concentration is palpable; you can almost feel their hearts pounding within their chests as they push themselves to the limits of physical endurance. Their synchronized movements demonstrate not only exceptional teamwork but also an unwavering commitment to excellence. Colorsport / Stewart Fraser has masterfully captured this iconic moment in sports history, freezing it forever within this remarkable photograph. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to the image while emphasizing every detail - from the glistening ice crystals on their helmets to the intense expressions etched upon each athlete's face. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of artistry, we cannot help but be reminded of both the indomitable spirit that drives these athletes and our own capacity for triumph over adversity. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and perseverance – qualities that transcend time and continue to inspire us all today.
