Under the patronage of H.E. the President of the Hellenic Republic, Ms Katerina Sakellaropoulou.
Outdoor exhibition on the railings of the National Garden
The exhibition is organized by Athens Photo World and Culture, Sports and Youth Organisation of the City of Athens (OPANDA), in collaboration with the National Garden.
A fraction of a second, an infinitesimal moment, the millimetre precision of a movement, the cry at the finish line.
At the last three Olympic Games –London 2012, Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Tokyo 2021 (the 2020 Olympics)– Associated Press photographers captured some of the greatest moments for athletes, their teams, their countries and for sport. The 48 images of the exhibition revive in the heart of the city the soul of the greatest sporting event in the world: the Olympic Games.
At the same time, in Paris, many of the athletes featured in the exhibition, along with many other young and talented athletes, will (re)experience the intensity, joy and sportsmanship symbolised by the Olympic Games, the world’s top sporting event.
Among the protagonists of this exhibition, Eleftherios Petrounias, Katerina Stefanidi, Miltos Tentoglou, the national water polo team and the national artistic swimming team remind us of their triumph and our joy.

The annual international photojournalism festival Athens Photo World is in its sixth year. We remain true to our original aim of promoting and highlighting contemporary photojournalists who are constantly working in Greece and abroad, so that the general public can have a picture (literally and figuratively) of history as it is being written.
Through our annual exhibitions, both indoor and outdoor, and a range of activities, we invite viewers, whether casual passers-by or intimate acquaintances, to see photography for the supreme and universal channel of communication and knowledge that it is. We invite you to get to know the names behind the images and to see the photographs not as “beautiful” or “difficult”, but as a window that connects the many aspects of the world in which we live.
