Under the lights

The stage is set. The crowd is ready. This is it.

The finish sprint

The moment years in the making. The moment where dreams are decided by a hundredth of a second or a graze of the bar.

Agony and Suspense

Disappointment and disbelief or an eternity of waiting before the results are posted.
