EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable moment of Japan's Seiji Aochi during the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics. Standing proudly at the Miyanomori Jump Hill in Japan, Aochi displays his bronze medal-winning form in ski jumping. The significance of this image goes beyond individual achievement, as it represents a historic milestone for Japanese ski jumping. In an extraordinary feat, Japan secured all three medals in this event, becoming the first country to achieve a clean-sweep since Norway accomplished it back in 1948. With snow-covered mountains serving as a breathtaking backdrop, Aochi demonstrates his skill and determination on the slopes. His graceful posture and focused expression reveal years of training and dedication that have led him to this triumphant moment. This photograph not only commemorates Aochi's personal success but also symbolizes Japan's growing prowess in winter sports. It serves as a testament to their commitment to excellence and their ability to compete at an international level. Taken by Colorsport photographer Stewart Fraser on February 6th, 1972, during the XI Olympic Winter Games held in Sapporo, this image is a timeless reminder of sporting achievement and national pride.
