One Extraordinary Photo: Tearing up for Olympic gold
By ANTONIO CALANNI
Associated Press
MILAN (AP) --- Antonio Calanni is a photojournalist with The Associated Press,
based in Milan since 2005. He has covered major soccer tournaments like the
World Cup in Brazil and Russia, and the European Championships in Poland and
Ukraine, France and Germany, as well as various breaking news events, including
the devastating fire in Crans Montana, Switzerland, on New Year's Eve.
Why this photo? This image struck me because it captures a beautiful and lovely moment of those behind an Olympic gold medalist. We wanted to focus on the emotional reaction of American boxer Jake Paul after 1 minute, 13 seconds of fiance Jutta Leerdam's intensive race.
How I made this photo The photo is the result of perfect planning and excellent teamwork. We had a clear idea of ??what AP's team wanted, so I decided on a good position to follow any reaction of Paul before, during and after the race. I was there to take photos of emotion and reaction. With new technology, our cameras deliver sharpness in the darkest conditions. I waited for the right moment and I pressed the shutter, knowing this could be a good image.
Why this photo works The photograph is of a release of emotions, tears of joy, an emotional moment of a star. Paul represents sports and the contemporary world of social media, and Leerdam incorporates the historical values ??of sport. The combination is probably a winning one in the modern world. ___ AP Winter Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/milan-cortina-2026-winter-olympics
