EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Christophe Simon from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro during the Ibero American Athletics Championships, which served as a test event for the highly anticipated Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The image showcases an athlete in action, gracefully performing their athletic prowess against a backdrop of clouds and a beautifully backlit sky. The setting for this thrilling competition is none other than the iconic Olympic Stadium, also known as Engenhao or Joao Havelange stadium. With its rich history and grandeur, this venue has witnessed countless moments of triumph and glory throughout its existence. Simon's expert use of a fish-eye lens adds an intriguing perspective to the photograph, enhancing our visual experience. The silhouette of the athlete against the radiant sky creates a dramatic effect that further emphasizes their dedication and determination. This print encapsulates not only the spirit of athleticism but also highlights Brazil's passion for sports. It serves as a reminder that behind every great sporting event lies years of preparation, training, and anticipation.
