EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense atmosphere of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics - Mens Individual Road Race. In this particular shot, we see Ireland's Paul Kimmage, adorned in a vibrant green jersey, as he competes fiercely on the grueling 190.2km course at Lake Forest, California. While Kimmage may have finished in twenty-seventh place during this event, his determination and passion for cycling would lead him to greater achievements. Following his Olympic appearance, Kimmage embarked on a professional career as a cyclist and participated as a domestique in three Tour de Frances. However, it was after retiring from competitive cycling that Kimmage truly made his mark. Transitioning into sports journalism, he fearlessly exposed the dark underbelly of professional cycling through his groundbreaking autobiography Rough Ride – one of the first exposés to shed light on doping practices within the sport. This remarkable photograph not only commemorates an important moment in Olympic history but also serves as a testament to Paul Kimmage's journey from athlete to advocate. It encapsulates the resilience and evolution of an individual who used their experiences within sport to bring about positive change beyond its boundaries. Photographed by Colorsport's Andrew Cowie, this image stands as a powerful reminder that athletes can transcend their sporting accomplishments and make significant contributions off the field or track.
