Every rendition of the Olympic Games provides us with a wide variety of lasting images. The photographers for Getty Images, through their "Layers of the Game" project, provide a few.
Photographers have been filming entire events at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics from a fixed camera and, using a compilation technique, stitching together the layers for a dynamic and visually arresting final shot.
