The longjumper has to maintain a high level of fitness and must include a variety of exercises in his training regime. Here at the National Sports Area at Crystal Palace, I managed to capture UK jumper Chris Kirk mid-flight and the sheer concentration and power is evident on his face. However, I found that the full colour image did not pack enough of a punch, and the mixed media version proved the better option.
