A sketch divided into three panels, each depicting an athletic activity against a light blue, roughly textured background. The left panel shows a light-skinned female swimmer poised to jump in wearing a black swimsuit and a white swim cap, with her arms outstretched. The middle panel illustrates a light-skinned male athlete mid-action in a high jump, wearing a white tank top and dark shorts, with a smaller dark-skinned figure in the background throwing a javelin. The right panel features a light-skinned sprinter nearing the finish line, viewed from behind, wearing a dark tank top and white shorts.
