"jesse owens. ...wiped the smile off Hitler's face"
Not quite ... Hitler wasn't the problem ... it was his own president who wouldn't be seen shaking Jesse's hand due how it would be perceived back home with their attitude toward exclusion
Modern myth changed it the Hitler due to his other faux pas's |

you're quite correct with that about the American President but I've just watched the documentary on the Olympic games and Hitler's face dropped when Jesse Owens was running cos he thought the German athletes were all supreme the camera pans on to Adolf Hitler's face |

Fair play to anyone who can be paid shitloads of money for doing a hobby.
However anyone who can compete at a reasonable level at a multitude of sports is certainly greater than someone who excells at one sport. Daley Thompson for example. |
