Winners Never Quit

What if we could stop the moment an Olympic athlete starts a race? Or crosses a finish line? Or what if we could pause the moment a swimmer dives or the moment a boxer throws a punch?

What if we could freeze each of these expressions for posterity? The following pages have artificial intelligence taking care of the scenarios, the photographic click immortalizing this idea and the imagination realizing that what you want to pause is not really a moment in time, but rather a moment in the mind: when one locks in focus, stays in the zone, when one enters a flow state, an athlete no longer circulates in this dimension, no longer moves in this reality, no longer competes in this space. He is already wrapped up in himself, keeping an eye on the goal and the training that was left behind, simultaneously. Therefore, the moment you want to capture is not temporal, it is mental. Maybe, even – certainly – emotional. And this is not captured, it is felt.
