Story
Closing Kick
Tracking the final 400 metres that secured a European medal — the emotion and detail through the lens.
My first major championships. Five days inside Glasgow’s World Indoor Championships, living trackside with a two-body setup and a brief to supply print and digital images for media back home.
Every session was a loop — warm-up hall, call room, trackside, media mix zone — and I filed selects between events so national outlets and sponsors had fresh shots within minutes.
The final lap is burned into my memory: the move, the hold, the exhale. Once the medal was secured, I stuck near the athletes through celebrations, flag drape, and interviews, delivering a story package before the arena lights cooled.
