Es is probably the most famous gesture of sport: when Tommie Smith (76) won the 200-meter run of the Olympic Games in Mexico in 1968, he and his third-placed compatriot John Carlos (75) raised their fists to the sky at the award ceremony .
They were protesting against discrimination against dark-skinned people.

Smith continues to fight racism to this day.
