Grit, determination, hard work, and skill. Power, patience, precision, and poise. The blood, sweat, and tears that all culminate in one shot. Breathe. Focus. Click.

Last month, you all showed up to play. And it wasn't just the world’s most popular sports. You brought excellent photographs of sumo, running, cycling, swimming, and kiteboarding. You invited us along to celebrate Spain's World Cup win, witness a knock out in vivid monochromatic detail, and visit Athens, the historic birthplace of athletic competition. Your technical skill was on full display. Who knew Glass was full of so many photographers at the top of their game?

Oh wait. We did.
