"Tele photographer claims top prize," The Daily Telegraph, Feb. 12, 2011.
The Daily Telegraph's senior sports photographer Gregg Porteous has claimed first prize in the sports feature category for the Reynolds Journalism institute Pictures of the Year International (POYi) prestigious photographic award.
Porteous, who has photographed sport for more than 28 years, won the award for his stunning underwater shots of Winter Olympian Emma Lincoln-Smith's bizarre training for the skeleton race at the Vancouver games.
"She hardly breathes while competing and in a unusual training technique she walks underwater with a large rock to strengthen her lungs," Porteous said.
