About this print
Melbourne 1956 was thinned by withdrawals, among them defending champion Hungary after the Soviet invasion, and the Soviet Union won it, beating Yugoslavia 1-0 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Anatoli Ilyin's goal, with Lev Yashin in goal. It was Yugoslavia's third straight silver. India's Neville D'Souza scored the first Olympic hat-trick by an Asian player, and Bulgaria beat India 3-0 for bronze.

About Champs Ring prints
Champs Ring is the original radial sports bracket. Hyperakt's Deroy Peraza created it for the 2010 World Cup, and it went on to appear in more than a hundred publications and in design exhibitions in France and Spain. Every print shows one tournament's knockout rounds as rings, with the champion at the center.
