The Tahiti-residing French photographer Jerome Brouillet has been awarded the top prize in the 2024 World Sports Photography Awards. His award-winning image is one you might recall from the 2024 Olympic Games – it features Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina soaring through the clouds.
Brouillet captured his stunning image, titled Golden Moment, during the Olympic Games held in Teahupo’o, French Polynesia. The photograph was taken on the third day of the surfing competition, encapsulating a moment where athletic prowess, artistry, and nature converge in breathtaking alignment. It showcases both Medina’s exceptional athleticism and Brouillet’s talent and perspective behind the camera. This was undoubtedly one of the defining photographs of 2024.
Petr Slavik received the silver medal, and it’s intriguing that his piece Heaven shares a similar “aesthetic” with the top photograph.
The Bronze medal was awarded to Anton Anestiev for his lively, action-filled photograph entitled Zebra Crossing.
The contest, which honors the finest in global sports photography, received over 13,000 entries from 2,200 photographers across 96 nations. There are 24 victorious images divided across categories such as American Football, Baseball, Golf, and Equestrian. As in previous years, the competition aims to showcase the storytelling ability of photography in capturing the emotion, drama, and beauty inherent in sports.
As Sophie Collins, Chief Marketing Officer at MPB, commented, “Sports photography possesses a remarkable ability to immortalize dynamic moments and stir deep feelings within a single shot.” Her statements emphasize the enchantment present in this year’s winning pieces, which vary from personal moments of concentration to expansive displays of passion and motion.
