EDITORS COMMENTS
Abrahams, the Cambridge Blue and 100 yard runner, showcases his remarkable sportsmanship as he competes against a truly extraordinary opponent at St Dunstans on 20 June 1920. In this monochrome print captured by Alfieri, we witness an awe-inspiring moment in athletics history. The image portrays Abrahams sprinting with sheer determination and grace along the guide lines of the track. His athletic prowess is undeniable as he pushes himself to achieve greatness. However, what makes this race truly exceptional is his competitor - a totally blind man who fearlessly challenges conventional expectations. Despite being visually impaired, the blind man demonstrates incredible resilience and courage as he races alongside Abrahams. Both athletes are united by their passion for running and their shared pursuit of victory. This photograph not only captures a thrilling sporting event but also serves as a powerful symbol of inclusivity and equality in sports. It highlights how individuals with disabilities can overcome barriers to participate fully in competitive events. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we glimpse into the world of early 20th-century athletics where fashion meets athleticism and personalities collide on the track. The blue hues of Abrahams' Cambridge uniform add an elegant touch to this historic moment that celebrates both physical prowess and human spirit.
