BRUNSWICK — Olympic Gold Medal winner Tommie Smith and Olympic teammate Dick Fosbury are scheduled to give a presentation Tuesday at Bowdoin College as part of the Dick Fosbury Track Camp.

The presentation begins at 8 p.m. in Druckenmiller Hall. The event is free and open to the public.

Smith won the 200-meter dash in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City with a world record of 19.83. Fosbury won the 1968 Olympic high jump with a revolutionary technique that is now known as the Fosbury Flop.

Smith is famous in track and field history as a world record setter, gold medal winner, and also for his controversial actions on the victory stand in Mexico City.

Smith will speak to campers, and answer questions about, some of the reasons behind the “silent gesture” of raising his fist with a black glove while standing on top of the Olympic award stand.

While a student at San Jose State University Smith tied or broke a total of 13 world records. College track was still running imperial distances such as the 220- and 440-yard dashes, while international track was running metric races such as the 200- and 400-meter dashes.

Between 1966 and 1968 Smith set every record from 200 meters through 440 yards, and also was part of two world record relay teams at the4x200and4x400distances. No one before or since has ever held as many world records simultaneously.

“We’re lucky to have Tommie joining us to speak to the campers,” said Fosbury, who is returning to Maine for his 22nd year of coaching summer camp high jumpers in Maine. “This is an incredible opportunity for sprinters and track and field fans in New England. Tommie is an outstanding coach, educator and role model for athletes in all track and field events.”
