What Jesse did in his life was that he liked to run all the time and he won four gold medals in Berlin.

1936, in the Summer Games held in Berlin, Germany. (He displeased Adolf Hitler, by disproving Hitler's theories about the "Master Race" as he defeated his German opponents.)

He went to the Olympics and got 3 gold medals. He was inspired that he wanted to do this ever since he realized he could do the 100 meter in 9.4 seconds.
