We have seen plates in racing shoes for years, including carbon fiber, in a vast array of track spikes over a half century. Why? To maximize performance. The missing element in major marathons is that they don't roll out a rubber track over the marathon course.

Hoka One One, New Balance, Nike, and Skechers all have shoes with curved plates. Kipchoge's shoe is at least the fourth iteration carbon plate shoe from Nike (neat trick repurposing Zoom Air into a new patent). Bartold Clinical @mariofraioli RunBlogRun Orangetown Podiatry

In 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos took a stand against racism and discrimination on the biggest stage of them all, the Olympics. The two wore black gloves while raising their fists after earning gold and bronze medals in the 200-meter dash. #BHM x #BlackHistoryAlways

The Voting Rights Act, signed into law #OTD 56 years ago, was the culmination of perseverance, sacrifice, and determination. It enshrines the right to vote and fair, open, and equal access to our democracy. Yet, it continues to come under attack. We must #ProtectTheVote. 🗳️
