flash in sport photography

Photos of Ollie Tyreman taken by me experimenting with high power flashes with sports photography set with low shutter speeds to increase the exposure
Set up - one wireless metz flash set at 1.1
Shutter speed one thirtieth of a second which is incredibly slow and without the flash it would just be a blur.
The photograph below was taken by Lee Jay on a Hasleblad 30ml. I was present when he took this photograph and I am visible in the background and I saw how he constructed this photograph by constructing three wireless flashes to make this image - one flash from the top, another from the side and also a fill in flash as well. He used a slow shutter speed to produce the photo which is quite similar in lighting to my photo. The higher the intensity of the flash, the slower the shutter speed can be due to the light fixing the image onto the centre of the film
