True, but the resolution isn't usually anywhere near still photography. That said, any professional sports photographer is going to use a camera that takes shots at an extremely high rate. I have no doubt the photographer took a dozen or more shots almost identical to this one, but this was the best one from that moment. Part of his or her job is knowing which shot is the best from the hundreds taken.
