Athens 2004 Olympic Games
Disc throwing is one of the most "noble" sporting events, since it did not have any direct connection with military exercises or farm work. It has remained virtually unchanged in the 28 centuries of its history, bearing therefore a significant historical tradition.
In the composition a modern athlete in the foreground is seen in a half-turned position, while an ancient discus thrower in the background has been captured in a lively bending motion, with the discus high above his head, creating a vivid representation of the sport.
