    I was maybe 10 years old when I first read about Wilma Rudolph. Even at age 71 now, I still get a tear in my eye when I think of her.

    Owen’s said that the Germans treated him better as a black athlete, then he was treated in the United States

      @eliasabichacar yes ! Bikila : great great champion ! (de plus, il faut se rappeler le sens de sa victoire en 1960 : entrer seul dans Rome - c'est à dire dans le pays qui avait envahi l' Abyssinie en 1936 : quel symbole !

    Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller suffered more hardship in the 1936 Olympics than Jesse Owens. And it wasn't because of Nazi Germany. It was because of Avery Brundage, the head of the USA Olympic Team.
