Smith was the first man to officially break the 20-second barrier for the 200 metres!✨
56 years later, Smith’s impact still resonates…his Olympic GOLD in 1968 was immortalised on account of his sensational new World Record [19.8 secs – a time that would last unbeaten for 11 years!] and his podium protest with John Carlos for black power and equality against racism and injustice.🥇
