Photo Finish images are time-lapse photographs taken at Olympic cycling, rowing, and athletic races. All competitors were photographed at the exact moments they crossed the finish lines. Then, Swatch pulled all the photos together and created one shot that showed the time/space difference between the first place finisher and all other competitors.
