Radzi Chinyanganya Instagram – Not all heroes wear capes, and a perfect example is this Tommie Smith. 55 years ago he contributed to one of the most iconic moments in sports history; The Black Power salute at 1968 Mexico Olympics. It happened on the podium after he ran a world record time of 19.83 seconds (with a sprained groin) in 200m. A time which still makes him 43rd fastest ever at the event! Tommie isn’t particularly rich, or famous. He’s much more than that! He’s an example, a leader, an educator and an inspiration. Nobody really knows what he and many others went through at that time, but we do know that he was never allowed to race again and was portrayed to be a national disgrace. It was an absolute privilege to interview someone of such courage, humility, selflessness and charisma. Thank you Tommie… when I’m 79, I wanna look like you!! #hero Budapest, Hungary
