Owens, of course, is often considered one of the most important (if not also best) athletes ever, famous not just for winning four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, but for being a black man winning four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics in full view of Adolf Hitler, who had hoped to use the games as an opportunity to showcase Nazism and German ethnic superiority.
