Great Sports Photographs

[Dunder]

I am looking at this from the photography point of view but would also be happy to accept photos from iconic moments in sports.

To get the ball rolling, I offer you this from 2001. That is Italian driver Jarno Trulli in a Jordan. The photo is captured just he has a slight lock-up of the front left.

One of the most famous sports moments of all time. Ali knocks out Sonny Liston in the first round. There are photos from a few angles.

Another iconic moment. Catcher Yogi Berra leaps into the arms of Don Larsen on completion of what is still the only perfect game in World Series history.

Careful with your knee there Yogi.

I love that Ali pic. He used to live 10 miles from me. I would see him about once a month. Great guy, sad to see him fall apart.

That was amazing. One of those sporting occasions will never forget.
Good pic too, you can actually see the undone shoelace.
