Framed by the Egyptians Saleh Soliman and Ibrahim Shams, the American Anthony Terlazzo receives a small oak tree as the winner (with a new world record). In white, two Olympiahelferinnen/Olympic assistants, often students who spoke foreign languages.
Note the oak wreaths around the Egyptians' fez.

I am very happy to have this photo, which today's photographer could not have done any better.
