My personal favourite photos





Marion Jones crosses the 100 meter finish line to win the gold medal at the Olympics in Sydney, Australia, on Sept. 23, 2000. She won five medals at the 2000 Olympics.

The U.S. Olympic Team once dubbed Marion Jones "the world's fastest mom," And these two pictures are my personal favourite photos.

I have a nice and remarkable memory of the coverage especially the moment that I captured the expression Marion Jones for The Star. The camera used was the outdated Canon EOS D2000 model fitted with the EF 300mm F/2.8L USM lens. I used a shutter speed of 1/250 sec. at F/2.8 to capture the moment of her victory.

And now I am vary sad to know the Olympic track and field star Marion Jones has pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about using steroids.

The three-time Olympic gold medalist also announced her retirement from the sport.
