Vintage: 1968 OG 200m Tommie Smith

It’s been a while since I posted some goodies. This one reminds me of KK in the Sydney 2000, where Smith either acclerates at 150m, or everyone else is slowing down.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Peter Norman’s 2nd place time is still a NR in AUS?

Apologies to Mac users out there, this is a old Windoze Media File.

Whoa, that’s crazy. Thanks for the clip.

NICE. How about the stride length difference between 1st & 2nd.

Notice how Carlos literally turns his head as both Smith and Norman run by him

Hey fjlee,

nice clip, just so you (and other possible mac users), you can see this clip with mac with Windows Media Player for mac version 9.

From the great Smith v. Hines (lane 2) battles of the mid 60’s.

Stride length and relaxation. A reflection of Winterism!

Stride length? after 150m Smith over-strides, alot, and he is good at it :slight_smile:
