Champions in Action - Platt Adams (1885-1961), Jim Duncan (b. 1887), and Ben Adams (1890-) - American Track & Field Athletes of Note
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black-and-white photograph, captured between c1910 and c1915 by the renowned Bain News Service, brings together three exceptional athletes who left their mark on the world of track and field. Platt Adams, Jim Duncan, and his brother Ben Adams were all accomplished competitors in their own right, with a shared distinction: they represented America at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden.
In this candid moment, we see these athletic giants gathered together - perhaps sharing stories or strategies before an upcoming competition? The brothers' bond is palpable as Platt and Ben stand shoulder-to-shoulder, their eyes locked on some distant goal. Meanwhile, Jim Duncan watches with a keen intensity, his gaze piercing the air.
This photograph not only celebrates the achievements of these remarkable athletes but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of camaraderie and sportsmanship. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded that even in an era before modern technology and global connectivity, human connection remained strong - fueled by shared passions like track & field.
