Associated Press photographers centered much of their energy this past week on the Paralympic Games in Paris. The results from Christophe Ena and Emilio Morenatti are eye-popping.
The first photo in the gallery from Ena frames Paralympic athletes holding torches against a yellow background, moments after lighting the cauldron at the opening ceremony.
Morenatti captures American long jumper Beatriz Hatz in mid-flight at the Stade de France.
The gallery has images from baseball, soccer, tennis, American football, rugby, basketball, and motorcycle racing.
Defending U.S. Open tennis champion Coco Gauff features twice; victorious after the third round and disappointed after the fourth.
Is dancing a sport? No need to create an argument. But one thing is certain; the graceful movements lend themselves to dramatic photos. Buenos Aires photographer Natacha Pisarenko captures the essence of the tango world championship in — of course — Argentina.
The gallery was curated by photographer Brynn Anderson.
