‘The Olympics are a time
for athletic greatness - and also a time for truly inspiring feats. Sit back
and take a look at some of the most inspiring moments from the past 90 years of
Olympic Games.
One of them was Jessie
Owens. He was an Afro-American and was
competing in track and field in 1936 Berlin.
Because of the color of his skin, Hitler’s Germany viewed Owens as a
lesser athlete. Owens took the prejudice
against him as motivation and would go on to win four gold medals (in the 100
meters, long jump, and 4x100 relay.)'
