EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures a historic moment in sports history - the Berlin Olympics of 1936. Pictured here are four remarkable athletes: Frank Wykoff, Paul Hanni, Ralph Metcalfe, and Jesse Owens. These men showcased their incredible speed and skill in the highly competitive men's 100 meters sprint. Representing the United States, Owens, Metcalfe, and Wykoff claimed an impressive victory by finishing first, second, and fourth respectively. Their exceptional performance not only brought glory to their country but also shattered racial barriers during a time of intense discrimination. Seventh-place finisher Hanni proudly represented Switzerland on this grand stage. Despite not securing a top spot in the race, his participation symbolized international unity among athletes from different nations. The image portrays these extraordinary individuals wrapped up in blankets as they sit together after their exhilarating race. It reflects both the physical exhaustion they experienced on that fateful day as well as the camaraderie shared between competitors who pushed each other to new heights. As we look back at this snapshot from Olympia 1936 - Die Olympischen Spiele 1936 - we are reminded of the power of sport to transcend boundaries and inspire generations to come.
