newyorker:

In this week’s issue, Malcolm Gladwell writes about Alberto Salazar, the great long-distance runner turned coach, whose forthcoming memoir, “14 Minutes,” tells the story of a man whose “greatness lay in his desire”. (The memoir’s title comes from the duration of time that Salazar was considered clinically dead following a heart attack in 2007. Read Nicholas Thompson’s review.)

For the photograph that accompanies Gladwell’s piece, we commissioned Pari Dukovic to photograph Salazar at the Olympic trials last month in Eugene, Oregon. “When I got on the track, there were athletes throwing discs, some were racing, and some were long jumping,” he told me. “At some point, I was holding my camera and felt in shock of how much activity was around me. I was standing in a world where many dreams were about to come true.”
