London, 2012: Silencing any doubt. #50Days50Moments
“I was covering the much-anticipated Men's 100m race at the London 2012 Summer Games, which featured the defending Olympic champion, Jamaica’s #UsainBolt. In such a fast-moving event like the #100m, there are always some challenges and pressure. From the moment that gun goes off, the entire thing is over in under 10 seconds, which means there's only a 2 second window to get the shot from when they reach the 80m mark. I was in a position straight beyond the finish line, operating my camera on a 70-200 lens and zoomed out. I thought Bolt would win, and there’s a temptation to focus solely on him, so I was happy that the top contenders drew lanes right next to each other, making the finish easier to shoot. When they crossed the finish line, I wasn’t 100% sure Bolt had won, but his gesture says it all. The ‘World's Fastest Man’ letting everyone know that he’s still boss.” — Michael Steele | August 5, 2012 | #GettySport #Rio2016 #Olympics #🇯🇲#⚡️#🏅
