This mural is part of the CROOS PLAY 2017 event. It combined sports with street art in the neighborhood of Crooswijk.

The duo TelmoMiel were asked to contribute to this festival, but they were already booked for a mural at Blink Cincinatti in the US. Because they didn't want to choose, they decided to split up. Telmo Pieper flew to Cinicinatti to attend the festival there, while Miel Krutzmann stayed in Rotterdam to make this mural.

In the artwork, we can see pole-vaulters jumping over an other athlete. This way the mural ties into the sports theme of the event.
