What are some unforgettable moments in the history of the Olympic Games?

German athlete Lutzlang and American black athlete jesse owens participated in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.

German athlete Lutzlang was the trump card of German long jump at that time, a "noble" Aryan with blue eyes.

Jesse owens, an American athlete, is regarded as the best track and field athlete in the last century. Owens comes from a black slave family. He grew up in a poor family and began to help the family do all kinds of manual work at the age of seven.

The Berlin Olympic Games at that time was endowed with unprecedented political significance by Hitler, who wanted to prove the racial superiority of Aryans. In order to deceive the Olympic Committee and international public opinion at that time, Hitler also made an exception and allowed his Jews to participate in the Olympic Games, and even erased the anti-Semitic slogans on the streets at that time. Even so, Hitler was still at home when he saw that there were still blacks on the playground. In his eyes, blacks are even worse than Jews and are not worthy to compete with whites.

At that time, Owens, who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, was very nervous. In the long jump qualifying competition, the first take-off exceeds the take-off point, and the result is invalid. The second take-off is too far from the take-off point and the result is poor. By the third time, Owens was too nervous to jump. At this time, Lutzlang came over and comforted Owens in broken English, telling him not to be nervous, and put a white towel on the jumping place to let Owens judge the jumping point. In the end, Owens successfully advanced to the final with excellent results. In the final stage, Lutzlang took the lead in breaking the world record, but then Owens took the lead with a slight advantage and won the gold medal, while Lutzlang won the silver medal.

After the results of the game came out, there was silence in the stadium and Hitler was livid. At this time, Lutzlang stepped forward, grabbed Owens' arm, held it high, and shouted Owens' name to hundreds of thousands of spectators in the stadium. Driven by him, the audience finally began to shout Owens' name. Owens, who reacted from the surprise, also raised Lutzlang's arm and shouted Lutzlang's name.

Ironically, Hitler ignored the practice of the host country leaders to shake hands with the winning athletes and left directly. More ironically, Owens, who returned to China, was still not received by American leaders. After returning home, I can't find a job, and I even have to compete with the horse for salary. Ruzlan in Germany was killed in World War II.

On the eve of the outbreak of World War II, athletes from two different countries, different races, different colors, different classes and different status showed the world what is equality and what is respect.

This has also become the most beautiful story in the history of the Olympic Games, and this story is even more glorious because it happened in the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936.
