1936 Summer Olympics - Men's High Jump Medal Ceremony

American athlete Delos Thurber (bronze, 1916-1987), American athlete Cornelius Johnson (gold, 1913-1946), and American athlete Dave Albritton (silver, 1913-1994), each wearing a USA tracksuit and a laurel wreath, hold their medals while giving the flag salute on the podium after the High Jump event of the 1936 Summer Olympics at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany, 2nd August 1936. Note the upward palms of the athletes giving the salute, this has been interpreted as the American Flag Salute (or Bellamy Salute), rather than a Nazi salute, reportedly in protest at Adolf Hitler's failure to congratulate the medalists, two of whom are Black.
