Two hours ago !!!!! Great action shot but most of all, very impressive Wolfgang to capture the World Number One 'Selassie' Fantastic my friend!
Beautiful shot of the World Record only few hours before.. Great news and you saw "live". Congratulations
Superb shot Wolfgang, super quick upload too :)
Excellent capture Wolfgang, and you didn't have to travel miles to get it, nice to see the people in your area come out to cheer the runners on. It is good for the runners to get this encouragement Selassie looks to be boxed in a bit here, just biding his time, conserving his energy for the final mile.. The contestants hear the crowds urging them on but they are that focused elswhere they do not see them, their expressions are pure consentration. A wonderful photo for your archives Wofgang, the World Champion on his way to a new World Record. A shot any photographer would be proud of. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
