Olympics Photo of the Day: An Emotional Finish

Another of the sports making a debut at the 2024 Olympics is the Marathon Race Walk Mixed Relay, where teams with one male and one female athlete alternate for four stages, race-walking about 10 kilometers during each stage and totaling a marathon distance. Here, Maria Perez of Spain reacts as she crosses the finish line first, beneath the Eiffel Tower, her effort and emotions clearly on display as she raises her arms to grab at the banner across the line.
