The iconic photo of surfer Gabriel Medina at the Olympics immediately went viral. But these are the incredible images that you may have missed.
Eddie Jim, photographer, The Age: Chinese gymnast Ou Yushan on the balance beam. I shot this from a low angle with a clean background. I have turned the image upside down so it looks as if she’s climbing rather than jumping. I like this image because of the timing; her feet and hands are almost touching the light.Eddie Jim, photographer, The Age: This image shows the dome of the Grand Palais at night in all its glory. The visual backdrop for the fencers is stunning.
Eddie Jim, photographer, The Age: Opals basketballer Ezi Magbegor during the quarter-final against Serbia. I just like the movement of her hair.Paul Rovere, Deputy Picture Editor, The Age: This is not only the best photo from the Paris Olympics, it’s one of the best photos of the year. Arguably one of the best surfing photos of all time.
