For over a century, major sporting events have been accompanied by images. With the boom in amateur photography in the late 19th century, coinciding with the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, photography and sport have, in many ways, evolved together. This exhibition reveals the vast photographic collections of the Olympic Museum and Photo Elysée. The exhibition, which was unveiled at the Rencontres d'Arles for the Paris 2024 Games, explores a largely untold photographic heritage, offering us a narrative that shines the spotlight on sports photography.
