Olympics: Tommie Smith and John Carlos, my Olympic heroes for all time

My all time favorite moment in the Olympic Games was in Mexico 1968. Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised gloved fists and stood barefoot to receive their first and third place medals in the 200m respectively.

Tommie Smith and John Carlos, after all the work, after all the dreams they had of standing on those medal stands, had an even bigger dream. At a young age, with a single action, they showed me winning the race is second to being true to who you are.
