I think Peter Norman definitely deserved more credit than he got during all this , because whereas Smith and Carlos were protesting what was goin' on in their own country, Norman, as a foreigner, stood in solidarity with them wearing the same patchthat Smith and Carlos were wearing. I think that was brave on his part

Australian runner, Australian announcer. What'd you expect?

Peter Norman had the idea of the gloves... three human beings on the podium !

What the hell happened at 0:25?

0:20 is a little puzzling too.

[ImJustOldMate]

FUCK!!! Norman was just cutting them cunts down on the straight. I'd love to see how that last fifty would compare to other races.....

[Carla Newton]

well he was far behind and then he can back so close to the end to come second, what do you expect give the australian some credit, i'd like to see you try and comeback from far behind and beat an australian record.

Amazing come back from Peter Norman

[MrKarlozz]

Actually it was John Carlos who was the first to break the 20-second-barrier.

He ran 19.92, September 12th 1968 in Echo Summit, California with a 1.9 m/s wind speed

Invincible one then why does he have USA on his uniform if you say he ran for Cuba

I was fortunate to know Peter Norman. Fantastic guy. Had many a beer with him before and after, and even raced him. Gives me chills to see him roll over the top of John Carlos. Norman was on fire.

Its an Australian telecast numbnuts.

John Carlos is the father of my JROTC instructor, but he never really brags about it, but when ever he does talk about it he mentions this Olympics
