Where most pictures from the 1936 Games focus on athletes in action, this one turns to the crowd, showing Japanese women watching a contest involving their countrymen. The photograph comes from an album titled *XI Olympiade, Berlin 1936*, assembled by Leni Riefenstahl, the filmmaker who later directed the official film of those Games. The title names only a "Kampf," a German word for struggle or fight, and the caption information is unverified, so the specific event is uncertain. Berlin hosted the Summer Olympics that year, drawing athletes and spectators from around the world.
