Sports / David Goldman Unusual Overhead Shot Reveals Chaos of Triathlon Swimming Goldman's photo captures the intense physicality of Olympic triathlon swimming By Newser.AI Read our AI policy Posted Jul 31, 2024 9:00 PM CDT Copied Australia's Natalie Van Coevorden, center, competes in the swim leg of the women's individual triathlon competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Wednesday, July 31, 2024, in Paris, France. (AP Photo/David Goldman) David Goldman's photograph of triathlon swimming at the Olympics provides a unique and rare perspective, capturing the chaotic and physical nature of the sport. Unlike typical shots, which are often taken from the side, head-on, or underwater, Goldman managed to capture an overhead view that reveals the congestion of swimmers. Goldman's position on the bridge allowed him to shoot straight down as the athletes swam against the current and crowded together along the riverbank. The result was a striking image of swimmers jostling for position, some being kicked while others emerged to navigate their route. According to Goldman, the photo stood out due to the sheer intensity and physicality it captured. He noted, "They were literally swimming over each other jostling for position." The bright colors of swimsuits and caps amidst the splashing water added to the dynamic quality of the photograph, making it appear almost like a contact sport.
