What is the name of the Olympic track and field athlete who won four gold medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin?
The1936 Berlin Olympics were supposed to be the showcase of "Aryan superiority". American track star Jess Owens, an African-American, won almost every race he was in handily, most against a young German man who was supposedly the best in the world. This young German athlete was apolitical, and when Owens got his gold medal for one event, the German held Owens hand aloft, and shouted to the audience: "Jesssseeee Owweeeens!!" Hitler was furious, and refused to shake Owens' hand.

That was triple jump which was contested on April 6, 1896. The event winner was James Connolly of the United States.
Why was Jesse Owens victory at the 1936 Berlin Olympics so significant?
Because he proved to the world, or most importantly, Hitler, that it wasn't just the Aryan race that was great. Hitler thought that no one could be better than his people and wanted to prove this by holding the Olympics in his country! Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the Olympics (100m and 200m sprint, long jump and 400m relay). This embarrassed Hitler so much so that he was absent for the medal giving to Jesse Owens even when he was there for his countries wins. Hitler was proved wrong on that day, his Aryan race wasn't the best at everything! I hope this helps :P
