Peter George Norman (15 June 1942 – 3 October 2006) was an Australian track athlete best known for winning the silver medal in the 200 metres at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. His time of 20.06 seconds still stands as the Australian 200m record. He was a five-time Australian 200m champion. He is also known for his support of John Carlos and Tommie Smith when they made their famous gesture at the 1968 Olympics medal ceremony.

Peter Norman grew up in Coburg, Victoria. Initially an apprentice butcher, Norman later became a teacher, and worked for the Victorian Department of Sport and Recreation towards the end of his life.

He is the uncle to Australian film-maker and actor Matt Norman who has directed and produced the cinema-released documentary Salute about the three runners through Paramount Pictures and Transmission Films.

Before the 1968 Olympics Norman was a trainer for West Brunswick Football Club as a way of keeping fit over winter during the athletic circuit's off season. After 1968 he played 67 games for West Brunswick between 1972 and 1977 before coaching an under 19 team in 1978.

John Wesley Carlos (born June 5, 1945 in Harlem, New York) is a former track and field athlete and professional football player. He was the bronze-medal winner in the 200 meters at the 1968 Summer Olympics and his Black Power salute on the podium with Tommie Smith caused much political controversy. He went on to tie the world record in the 100 yard dash and beat the 200 meters world record (although the latter achievement was never ratified). After his track career, he enjoyed brief stints in the National Football League and Canadian Football League but retired due to injury.

He became involved with the United States Olympic Committee and helped to organize the 1984 Summer Olympics. Following this he became a track coach at Palm Springs High School. He was inducted into the USA Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2003.

He is the author, with sportswriter Dave Zirin, of The John Carlos Story: The Sports Moment That Changed the World, published in 2011 by Haymarket Books.

Born in Harlem, New York, of Cuban descent, John Carlos was a gifted high school athlete and outstanding student who went on to study at East Texas State University on a full track-and-field scholarship. His victories in the 100 and 200-meter dash and as a member of the 4x400-meter relay helped lead ETSU to the 1967 Lone Star Conference Championship. After his first year, Carlos matriculated to San Jose State University where he was trained by future National Track & Field Hall of Fame coach, Lloyd (Bud) Winter.

Ulla Agneta Jones née Andersson, known professionally as Ulla Andersson and as Ulla Jones (born June 18, 1946 in Sweden) is a former high fashion model, actress, singer and songwriter who appeared on numerous magazine covers during the 1960s, before she retired from the Ford Modelling Agency, and has been married to Quincy Jones. She also calls herself Ulla Andesong (Swedish for spirit song).

Andersson was discovered in Stockholm by Eileen Ford when she was 15 years old. She was immediately signed to the Ford Modelling Agency and sent to Paris where she learned the business. Before long before she was travelling the world and working in Europe, the United States and Russia. She was photographed by renowned fashion photographers of the day including Hiro and her image appeared on such fashion publications as Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.

In January 1976, Ulla Jones was cast as "Betty Sue" in Lars Jacob's first Stockholm production of Wild Side Story and was singled out for good notice in major press. The run was cut short when one of the leads dropped out and thus was her performance in it. Fellow cast members were Christer Lindarw and Roger Jönsson, subsequently known in After Dark.
