crocial moment, leaving behind his own goal and fear of the German dictator,
Hitler, under whom he was trained, Luz Long came forward and advised Jesse
Owens. He asked Jesse to advance safely to the next round, without risking a
foul. Jesse Owens followed Luz Long's advice and went on to qualify not only
for the final round but also to win the gold medal. _Luz Long won the silver and
was the first to congratulate Jesse Owens. At that moment, Jesse Owens felt all
ihe golds medals he had won, would not be able to equal the friendship that he
felt for Luz Long. Luz Long went out of the way to help Jesse Owens and set an
example of true friendship, which Jesse Owens cherished throughout his life. This

Luz Long, thou gh an oppo nent of Jess e Owe ns,
was a true guid e and friend

him a "firm hand shak e",

Autob iogra phy: An auto b10g1a phy is a writte n acco. unt of the life of a perso
. . n
wn tten bY that person . The word autob iogra phy is of ~ree k ongm , where
auto me~ s self. bio mean s life and graph y mean s to wnte . There
are some
elements important to an autobiography: chara cters are true to
life; details
are often based on personal feelings and opini ons and henc
e canno t be
proved: the event s occur in chronological order ; autho r's purp ose
usually is
to communica te an impo rtant perso nal state ment abou t life, and
may also
want to give credit to people who influence him.
Jesse Owen s' My Greatest Olym pic Prize is an autob iogra phica
l accou nt of
1936 Olym pic Games held in Berlin, where he won four
gold meda ls. He
gives an account of his poor performance at the trials , his meet

from Luz, the
formation of real friendship between them , and his final winn ing

Nazis' Aryan~Supe:riority Theory: Jesse Owens' My Greatest Olympic Prize refutes
the Nazis' idea of Aryan-sup eriority theory through Owens' individua l excellence .
Nazis believed in the theory of racial hierarchy , identifyin g Germans as part of Aryan
or Nordic master race. The Nazis aimed to unite all Germans living in historical ly
German territory, while excluding those deemed either to be communi ty aliens or
belonging to an "inferi~r'' race.
At the Berlin 1936 Olympics , Hitler planned to show the world that the Aryans
were the dominant race. Jesse Owens on the day of his trials, at first was not
worried as he had "trained, sweated and discipline d" himself for six years, but on
seeing Luz Long, a tall German athlete, he was startled. Owens felt that if Long
won, "it would add some new support to the Nazis' Aryan-sup eriority theory." Thus,
Jesse Owens being a black wanted to prove Hitler wrong. He sealed his place in
Olympic history by becoming the most successfu l athlete of the 1936 Games.
Owens also became the first American to win four track and field gold medals
i.!t c.t single Olyrnpics (100m, 200m, 4x 100m relay and long jump). The first to
Cungratulat e the Olympic record holder was Luz Long, who looked like the model
N&.zj but actually wasn't. The German took the silver medal. The two athletes \Vere
then seen shaking hands, a scene Nazis never envisioned .
