1st - A classic celebratory moment.
2nd - This is a nice moment between members of opposing teams. We hoped that there might be some contextual information in the caption to learn more about these players’ relationship, but found none.
3rd - A nice moment away from the action in which an athlete gives a fan a moment of time.
Alt. - The colors and lines in this photo are eye catching. It would be an interesting detail as part of a larger package, or possibly for a story about the changing technology of shoes and their role in the sport.
So much happens around the edges of and in preparation for sporting events. The majority of images in this category were taken from the action, or immediate reactions by athletes. We would like to see photographers go early, stay late and take the chance to turn away from the action to see the moments and relationships away from the playing surface.
