Two legends of the middle distances in one photo.
Hicham El Guerrouj; current holder of the men's 1500m & mile world records. Faith Kipyegon; current holder of the women's 1500m & mile world records.
In addition to their fondness for the 1500m, the East African and the North African also share a passion for running the 5000m as well. In fact, Faith won double World Championship gold in the 1500m and 5000m at Budapest 2023, while Hicham won Olympic gold in both events at Athens 2004.

Moreover, physiologically speaking it makes perfect sense that female marathon runners as compared to female sprinters are edging ever closer to running so called male times.
Icons of greatness.
The 2012 Olympics Aquatics Centre. An undulating building with a wavelike aluminum roof and detachable wings that was inspired by the geometrics of water in motion.
Originally conceptualized in 2004, London's Aquatics Centre is just one of Zaha Hadid's completed projects which include railway stations, an Opera House, and a museum of art to mention but a few.
Dame Zaha Hadid. Baghdadi born architect and mathematician.
Hadid who died in 2016 aged 65 was anything but conventional. She was the first female architect to win the Pritzker Prize, and was renowned for her sometimes controversial but always modernist even futuristic interpretations of architectural geometry.
