First - The excellent caption elevates this photo of an unusual moment. The photographer was sensitive to the moment when all the elements came together on the sidelines. Second - This photo is technically strong and the photographer used that close proximity to fill the frame with color and strong graphics in a dynamic composition with peak emotion. Third - This is a beautiful, painterly, photograph. The only downside to this photo is the over-sharpening.
