Date: Aug 9th 1936. Venue: Berlin, Germany. Occasion: The Summer Olympic Games: Games of the XI Olympiad. Hitler is there still blabbering on about his Aryan master race and all the rest of it. Then this man pops up and gives it to him right between the eyes - the first American to win four medals in one Olympiad - an epic feat eclipsed only by the legend of the man himself. Some victories are eternally sweet.
More tomorrow ...
More tomorrow ...
Sweetest victory!
