Description
Atlanta 1996. Marie-José Pérec, 200m © Didier Fèvre/L'Équipe 1 August 1996. No time to savour her second 400m title. Two days later, Marie-José Pérec started in the 200m heats. Everyone was waiting for her at the bend, like the photographer Didier Fèvre: "This photo is so symbolic of the athlete she was! It's as if she never touched the ground again. Even her hands, her fingers are graceful." In the final, to beat Merlene Ottey, the Frenchwoman deploys her long, elegant stride, the hallmark of this blue "Gazelle" who continues to run far ahead in the history of French sport: with three gold medals (400m in 1992, 200m-400m in 1996), she remains the most successful Olympic track and field athlete. Single later print. Edition 1/1. Printed on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin 300g paper. Flamant art frame. 80 x 120 cm
