Forrest Custer Smithson (26. syyskuuta 1884 - 24. marraskuuta 1962) oli yhdysvaltalainen yleisurheilija ja 110 metrin aitajuoksun olympiavoittaja Lontoossa 1908.

Smithson oli syntynyt Portlandissa, Oregonissa ja opiskeli teologiaa Oregonin valtionyliopistossa. Hän voitti Yhdysvaltain mestaruuden 120 jaardin aidoissa 1907 ja 1909.[1]

Lontoossa ennakkosuosikkeja olivat Smithsonin joukkuetoverit John Garrels ja Arthur Shaw, joka oli aiemmin sivunnut Alvin Kraenzleinin epävirallista maailmanennätystä 15,2. Pika-aitoja ei juostu tavalliseen tapaan radalla, vaan silloiseen englantilaiseen tapaan ruoholla.[2] Smithson voitti välieränsä ja finaaliin selviytyi pelkästään amerikkalaisia.[2] Hän sivusi välierien ajallaan 15,4 Alvin Kraenzleinin olympiaennätystä.[3] Loppukilpailussa Smithson kasvatti etumatkaa tasaisesti ja voitti viiden metrin erolla[4] kaikkien aikojen parhaalla tuloksella 15,0. IAAF hyväksyi ajan myöhemmin matkan ensimmäiseksi viralliseksi maailmanennätykseksi.[5] Maailmanennätys pysyi voimassa 12 vuotta, kunnes Earl Thomson rikkoi sen vuonna 1920.[6]

Forrest Smithson kuoli Contra Costan piirikunnassa, Kaliforniassa, 78-vuotiaana.

Raamattutarina

Laajalle levinnyt tarina väittää Smithsonin juosseen loppukilpailun kantaen Raamattua vasemmassa kädessään. Tarinan mukaan tämä olisi ollut syvästi uskonnollisen Smithsonin protesti sunnuntaina juostua kilpailua vastaan. Tämä ei ilmeisesti pidä paikkaansa. Ensinnäkin yhtäkään karsintaeristä tai finaalia ei ohjelman mukaan juostu sunnuntaina. Toiseksi tuon aikaiset sanomalehdet eivät maininneet tarinaa. Tarina on luultavasti saanut alkunsa Smithsonin valokuvasta, jossa hän aitoo Raamattu kädessään. Kuva on todennäköisesti kilpailun jälkeen valokuvaajia varten lavastettu tilanne.
