Jesse Owens: The epitome of a professional. Style, class, grace, hard-working, talented.
Jesse Owens at the Berlin Olympics, August 1936.
In August of 1936, American athlete Jesse Owens won four gold medals, setting three world records and tying a fourth in the 100 yard dash, all in front of Adolf Hitler, who had planned to use the games as a tool to promote the physical superiority of the Aryan race.

Run forest run
I could watch Jesse Owens run all day long. His stride is so smooth, it’s like a work of art.
