EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures the legendary American athlete, Jesse Owens, during a historic moment at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Positioned at the start of the 200-meter sprint final, Owens exudes determination and focus as he prepares to showcase his extraordinary speed and agility on the track. Jesse Owens went on to win this race, setting an Olympic record that would stand for years to come. His victory not only solidified him as a champion but also made a powerful statement against Adolf Hitler's Third Reich regime, which aimed to promote Aryan supremacy during these games. Owens' triumph shattered racial barriers and inspired millions around the world. As an African American competing in a racially charged era, his success symbolized hope and resilience amidst adversity. His remarkable achievements showcased not only his physical prowess but also his unwavering ambition and dedication. In this photograph, we witness Owens' lean physique and strength as he stands poised for greatness.
