A bit of an uncomfortable moment in the mixed zone as 200m world champion @sherickajacko is asked whether she questions Florence Griffith-Joyner’s world record in the event. She doesn’t want to go there.

It's October 16th, 2020. That means today is the 52nd anniversary of the moment when John Carlos and Tommie Smith raised their fists to the heavens - and Peter Norman stood in solidarity - at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. (1/2)

John believed that in all of us, there exists the capacity for great courage and a longing to do what’s right. We are so lucky to have had him show us the way. I offered some thoughts today on his life and how, like him, we can give it all we have. https://t.co/7UHT86OzEj
