The World Sports Photography Awards has unveiled the overall winner of its 2024 photo contest, along with the runner-up and third-place recipients.
Photographer Eric T’Kindt has won the gold medal for his showstopping image of Japanese gymnast Daiki Hashimoto. T’Kindt’s image, “Hashimoto at the Bars,” bested a record number of entries submitted by photographers from 83 countries.
“The talent as ever, was astounding so it was a difficult decision to choose our Top 10 images for each category, as well as our Top 3 overall. What an incredible year of sport photographed by you all!” writes the World Sports Photography Awards on Instagram, where it announced the top three overall winning photos.
T’Kindt is joined on the sports photo podium by photographers Isaac Julián Morillas Sánchez and Ryan Pierse, who won second and third place, respectively.
Sánchez’s silver medal-winning photo shows a weightlifter with a spotlight, making it look like he has laser eyes, a la Superman. The image is aptly named “A New Superhero?”
Pierse’s third-place photo, “Duck Dive,” shows a surfer underwater, looking toward the surface, while straddling her board.
The World Sports Photography Awards also includes individual categories for different sports, including golf, winter sports, venues and views, urban and extreme, tennis, swimming and diving, rugby, racquet sports, American football, motorsports, martial arts, ice hockey, gymnastics, Formula One, football (soccer), equestrian, cycling, cricket, boxing, basketball, baseball, athletics (track and field), aquatic, and “other.”
The category winners have not yet been revealed, although the organization says they will be announced in the coming weeks. Sports photography fans can enjoy last year’s winners in the meantime. PetaPixel will feature the category winners as soon as they are announced, so more amazing sports photography will come shortly.
