Now, also name three (there might be more) 200m records run in shades. (One was unofficial)

Did Smith wear shades in 19.5st? I never saw a photo. Anyway, Carlos & Berruti answer the (trick)question - 2 of them were Berruti's, in semi & final!

I just flat out guessed on Smith's 19.5, I have no idea.

My impression was that Tommie Smith only wore shades when he was awake. He was the epitome of cool.
