First I was wondering why there are ad banners visible in the image. With a line scan camera the background which is standing still should actually only have horizontal stripes.

But since the company Omega produced this photo it actually makes sense to artificially add their logo next to the Olympic rings.

i read that that actually a led screen that basically is synced to the camera so it appears as a 2d banner when in actuallity its a 1d banner that changes over time which when displayed like it is looks like a 2d banner. kinda neat. In a weird way similar to the the adverts painted on the pitch or trackside that look like 2d on screen dogs but only look that way from a certain camera angle

This is genius, thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks for the link! This is so great so actually see how the line camera and this line screen work together to create an ad in the finish line photo.
