Very little editing. Levels adjustment, removed sensor dust, sharpening, & crop.
I was waiting for the pole vault to begin so I decided to be productive and play at the same time. I thought I would see what the longest exposure I could pan & get a nice image from. It turns out 1/20 of a second! I couldn't be happier how this came out. We'll see if anyone else likes it. Of course I pigeon-holed it into this challenge. (fingers-crossed)

Nice panning with focus on the face! I love this type of shot, but since the image is about running and movement, the square crop makes the image more constrained and the runner seem "boxed in." A rectangular crop with the runner to either left or right of center would suggest more movement.
This is technically very, very good. But this is one instance where I wouldn't want to see square and would like to have some looking space (preferably positive, but negative might add some value too). But - well done on everything else. Looking forward for detailed description as to how this was achieved.
