Jesse Owens competed in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, where he achieved international fame by winning four gold medals: in the 100 metres, the 200 metres, the long jump, and as part of the 4 x 100 metre relay team.
He was the most successful athlete at the 1936 Berlin and a victory noted because Adolf Hitler had intended the 1936 games to showcase his Aryan ideals and prowess.
