IT WAS a dark and stormy night in Moscow for the final of the men's 100m at the World Athletics Championships. Then came a moment of genius which may just have produced the sports photograph of the year. As the runners flashed past the finish line, it was no surprise to see a man called Bolt in front. It was also no surprise, given the weather, to see lightning bolts in the night sky.
But only one man was clever enough to put two and two together and come up with this unforgettable image. His name is Olivier Morin, and he's a Milan-based professional photographer with French news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP).
