SPC038. British Olympic Legends by Gary Keane. This signed art print was produced at the end of 2000 after the Olympics of that year, and has been sold out from the publisher for m any years. We have the last few publishers proofs available. This superb art print celebrates the ultimate achievement for any athlete, the winning of an Olympic gold medal. In the modern era athletes from Great Britain have won 178 gold medals and Gary Keane's montage celebrates some of the highlights from those achievements. It captures the determination and effort required to win, as well as the euphoria when the realisation that a life long dream has finally become a reality. This print is not only a tribute to those featured but also to all other competitors and medal winners who have strived to bring glory and honour to Great Britain. As the Olympic Games enter a new century and a new chapter in history, it is hoped that this reminder of past glories will also help to inspire those competing for gold in the future.
