"In Berlin in 1936, Hitler announced the start of the Olympics to 120,000 spectators. He wanted to use the world-renowned Olympics to prove the superiority of the Aryan race. At that time, the best track and field athlete was Jesse Owens of the United States. But there was one in Germany. Long jump ace Luz Lang, Hitler asked him to defeat Jesse Owens-the black Jesse Owens, to prove his racial superiority-racial determination of superiority and inferiority. The Nazi newspapers unanimously clamored Under the sound of driving black people out of the Olympics, Jesse Owens participated in 4 competitions: 100 meters 200 meters, 4 x 100 meters relay and long jump. The long jump was his first event. Hitler came to watch the game. Lutz Lang successfully entered the final. It was Jesse Owens’ turn to play, and he could enter the final as long as he jumped no less than half a metre from his best. For the first time, he fouled over the springboard; the second time he jumped from the springboard to be on the safe side After taking off, he had a bad result that he had never seen before. He tried to run again and again, hesitated, did not dare to start the final leap. Hitler got up and left the field. At the same time Hitler exited the field, a thin, blue-eyed Aryan species The German athlete approached Owens. He introduced himself in blunt English. In fact, he didn't need to introduce himself.

Won the gold medal. Hitler's face in the VIP seat was blue at this time, and the emotional audience in the stands suddenly fell silent.

"After an unbearable silence in the stands, they suddenly burst out in unison: "Jesse Owens! Jesse Owens! Jesse Owens! "Jesse Owens raised his other hand to thank. After the audience calmed down, he raised Luz Lang's hand to the sky and shouted hoarsely: "Luz Lang! Luz Lang! Luz Lang! "The audience also responded in unison: "Luz Lang! Luz Lang! Luz Lang! "There is no sly politics, no racial pros and cons, no gold medal gains or losses. Players and spectators are immersed in the emotion of the dispute between gentlemen. Jesse Owens The record of 8.06 meters has been maintained for 24 years. He won 4 gold medals at that Olympics and was hailed as one of the greatest athletes in the world. Many years later, Jesse Owens recalled that it was Luz Lang who helped him win 4 gold medals and made him understand that pure and caring human love is truly an indelible athlete spirit and a world record.
