Amazing how Jesse had a friend in Lutz Long in Nazi Germany when he had NO friends back home at UCLA

Lutz Long encouraged him and gave him tips on the long jump. Jesse won gold, Lutz won silver, and both walked off the field arm in arm, a lifelong friendship until Lutz's death during WWII.😎❤🇺🇲🥇🏅🏆🎖👍🍾

@Asier Etxeberria Irastorza Jesse disagreed with his coach when he pulled the Jewish runners (Stoller and Glickman), but he had to listen to him when ge said "You'll do as your told". Jesse reluctantly ran, but he and his teammates were friends as well as he was friends with Lutz Long, his German competitor who gave him tips on the long jump and the gold medal. Lutz Long won the silver. They were friends until Long was killed during WW II. Jesse kept in touch with his family until his own passing in 1980. Jesse was sponsored by Adidas shoes.

ekscholl did you know,after ww1 the women had to sell their babys to get something to eat,germany was not responsible for ww1,and it almost won the war and offered peace and status quo. who was running the weimar republic. germany didnt start the war,was winning and offered peace,got buttfucked by the allied and had to pay for everything the winners are responsible for. weimar was a disgrace and still would be anywere in the world. land has been illegaly anexed ect. no,germany was not racist to a people that didnt look any different from a german. if a jew wouldnt dress like one and mention hes a jew,you wouldnt reconise a jew. it was political,and more then that. peace from germany. neo nazis a cia zionist funded group. just like antifa. the NaSo (nazis) never been racist,and that stands for the people of germany to. the major part of was non racist,it was christian with remaining germanic cult.

Luz Long’s letter to Jessie Owens before being killed in WWII: “I am here, Jesse, where it seems there is only the dry sand and the wet blood. I do not fear so much for myself, my friend Jesse, I fear for my woman who is home, and my young son Karl, who has never really known his father.” “My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me. It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying-tell him how things can be between men on this earth.” “If you do this something for me, this thing that I need the most to know will be done, I do something for you, now. I tell you something I know you want to hear. And it is true.” “That hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you had your knee upon the ground, I knew that you were in prayer.” “Then I not know how I know. Now I do. I know it is never by chance that we come together. I come to you that hour in 1936 for purpose more than der Berliner Olympiade.” “And you, I believe, will read this letter, while it should not be possible to reach you ever, for purpose more even than our friendship.” “I believe this shall come about because I think now that God will make it come about. This is what I have to tell you, Jesse.” “I think I might believe in God.” “And I pray to him that, even while it should not be possible for this to reach you ever, these words I write will still be read by you.” Your brother, Luz www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2016/august/letter-to-famed-olympian-jessie-owens-shows-his-faiths-impact

***** Interesting anecdote about the 1936 Berlin Olympics: There were two sprinters on the USA team who happened to be Jewish (Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller). They were supposed to run in the 4 X 100 relay. However, Avery Brundage, head of the US Olympic Committee, dropped them from the race for fear that it would "embarrass" Hitler if Jewish athletes won gold medals. Instead, he substituted two other sprinters, one of which was Jesse Owens. This event won Owens his fourth gold medal of the games. Glickman later became a nationally known sports broadcaster.

Thank you for posting. I'm Mexican and I live in USA. I truly admire Mr. Jesse Owens, it's a great inspiration to all of us, latinos, blacks, whites, asians etc. We all should be proud of people like him.

Today, at school, my teacher taught our class a story of Jesse Owens, namely "My Greatest Olympic Prize" which was written by Mr. Owen's only. So I searched a bit about Owens and Luz long. Found this amazing video, somewhere felt a little sad for Luz Long, cause he got disappear (killed) in the war in 40s, leaving his wife and two children behind. Well, to be honest, it's such a really good real life story, which I found glittering and somewhere encouraging. Hoping y'all a great life ahead. And yea, if someone is reading this comment from future, then I wanna say, this is a story we got in our English textbooks.

Well this is a story worth to be remembered and written in gold letters in the book of history. Magnificent. Also check out the last letter from Luz Long to Owens before he left for the front.

Jesse Owens will always represent the very best that one can be. His performances in Berlin are still the standard by which all are measured. His times and distances have been surpassed but not the class the man showed.

When my husband INFINITEPUGGS told me of this video I watched it and cried when the narrorator said these two became the best of freinds but the German man died 9 years after they met and when they showed the picture of the 2 of them at the end of the video I lost it. Such a nice tribute.

Both these guys were heroes! They should be role models for everyone!

Jesse made it look so easy! Also, from what I have read, the German people loved Jesse, he was very popular there.

Jesse Owens is the pinnacle of the Olympic spirit.

The paper I choose to do in the 5th grade was about Jesse Owens. He had to overcome a leg tumor that his own mother had to operate on. What a remarkable man. I loved he really rubbed Hitlers nose in it.!!

This is the best Olympics in history. From here Berlin invented a revolutionary style of Olympics that had never been done before, the celebration, the participants, the athletes and the spectators all knew exactly what to do to present a great image of the Germany sport. Carrying the torch, arranging the masses, the forms that the masses used to perform during the parades, is a truly artistic masterpiece. After this Olympics, the rest of the countries began to imitate the Berlin celebrations, to what we have reached today.

I've been watching closely Owens' arms ans legs movements, there's no over-elaboration but very economical movements only, with back and neck straight up and down. His facial expression showed no sign of strain, very calm with deep concentration. Compared to his fellow competitors who seemed to be thrashing about and gritting their teeth as if in great pain, Jesse really was a complete athlete par excellence !!

That statement by Jesse Owens is something that should be in the Hall of Fame, he recognized a man who seen him as a best friend ♥

How great, we have all sorts of men fighting, but this man said friendship is worth more than any gold.

Almost certainly the greatest athlete of all time. A true natural phenomenon that made a separation between him and his opponents and he would have won also the fifth gold medal in Berlin in the relay race 4 to 200 if they had not hindered him for envy. With his exceptional and unreachable talent he would have almost certainly won successive Olympics in the same specialties, but there was the World War II. Imagine if he ran today with all the innovations, new materials and new current knowledge. And without the several hard obstacles that he had to suffer. I don't think that Bolt would have been able to defeat him at all not even in a single specialty.

Owens said crowds were cheering him in Berlin, in the trams, everywhere. In the US on the contrary, black people were still segregated in buses... When Owens went to a celebration organized for him at Waldorf Hotel in NY, he had to take a separated service elevator to not mix with the Jewish-White crowd. I admire this guy for his honesty in telling all this.

I agree, it doesn't make you un-American to question what's wrong with this country. Yes, I would rather live here than anywhere else, but it's not the greatest country in the world. The citizens who think America is perfect are ironically the ones that are hurting the country the most. For example, If you have a child that's misbehaving do you not correct that child's bad behavior or do you turn the other cheek. I love my country and it does have the potential to be a great country one day.

"WE DA BEST" -DJ Khalid

1936 was also the year when Max Schmeling knocked out Joe Louis to become the heavyweight champion of the world. I leave it those who believe that Jesse Owens single-handedly 'destroyed the myth of the superiority of the Aryan race' to figure out which one was the more important sports event. The truth is, Owens appreciated Hitler and Germany more than his own president and country. Maybe because he could have married a white woman in Nazi-Germany had he wished to do so, not in the US though. Maybe because in Germany he got the respect he deserved for his accomplishments when he achieved them, not later on when history was raped.
