The first edition of the "Last Meter" was commissioned by Polar Electro Oy of Finland for the Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. The sculpture depicts the 5000-meter final from the 1976 Games in Montreal, where four men raced stride for stride to the finish line. Lasse Viren of Finland emerged the victor, gaining his fourth gold medal. A second edition of this work, sponsored by Asics Tiger Corporation and PowerBar Inc., is on permanent display in Piedmont Park, Atlanta. |
