Description |
This work is drawn from a collection of 161 photographs that were acquired by the Springfield Museums following their inclusion in the exhibition Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like? which toured nationally from 2001 through 2006. Depicting everyday athletes and elite competitors, these images offer an expansive and empowering answer to the question posed in the Game Face exhibition title. Breaststroke specialist Amanda Beard won a gold and two silver medals at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and a bronze medal at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. "Pushing the edge of physical pain is exhilarating." - Amanda Beard Photo taken in Irvine, CA, 1996. |
