This category needs more creative input from the picture editor. Most of the pages were numbingly similar. The action moments were good, but not exceptional. I chose three pages that demonstrated a more creative approach to the editing of sports pictures.
It is hard to use multiple pictures on a page as well as this. Usually one weakens another, but in this case the pictures build upon each other and give the reader a much fuller visual presentation of the different aspects of the Tour de France. A very different yet effective layout. Devoting the entire front page to the bike race drew the reader in while allowing time to linger on the page. Each image told a different story from the event. The graphic layout including the strong horizontal crop on each image adds to the appeal of the page.
First place and third place sports section fronts took good (but unspectacular) sports pictures and combined them to create interesting, informative and entertaining section fronts.
