Lithographs by Peter Dahl

Before the DN Galan’s 30th anniversary in 1996, Peter Dahl made a series consisting of 3 lithographies. Inspired by the 30 years with DN Galan, they are called “The moments of Triumph”. They represent the 3 basic moments in track and field – running, jumping and throwing, but they also symbolize the 3 world records at DN Galan, set by Swedes: Ricky Bruch, discus throw, 68.40, 1972; Anders Gärderud, 3000 m steeple chase, 8.09.8, 1975; Patrick Sjöberg, high jump, 2.42, 1987.

Said by Peter Dahl about track and field:
"One of the main things why I like track and field is that you compete against yourself. In the beginning of the 50’s, I enjoyed high jumping with my classmate Benke Nilsson, who was highly admired. I was probably just as happy when I jumped 1.65, as Benke was when he jumped over 2.11."
