Description
Mexico City 1968. Ralph Boston, Bob Beamon, long jump (final) © Robert Legros/L'Équipe 18 October 1968. The storm broke, but it was Bob Beamon who made the lightning strike the stadium. With Ralph Boston (on the left, who would finish third in the contest), he took refuge under a blanket. Haggard, incredulous at his own achievement, he chatted with the stunned reporters, asking, "Do you think it can be beaten today?" No. It would take twenty-three years and Mike Powell, for 5 "small" centimeters more. Single later print. Edition 1/1. Black and white piezographic print on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin 300g paper. Flamant art frame. 40 x 60 cm
