उत्तर

Luz Long’s friendship was the greatest Olympic Prize that Owens ever won in his life. Luz Long’s compassion and camaraderie touched Owens. Luz Long recognized the battle in Owens’ mind and offered him a valuable tip. He was genuinely happy for Owens when he won the gold. He was by Owens’ side, congratulating him. It is very rare for a rival to offer professional tips but Long did. It is very rare for a rival to congratulate the winner without feeling a pang of jealousy. But Long felt none. What Long felt was evident in what he said and how he looked. His selflessness proves that he was an epitome of goodness and true sportsmanship. His congratulating Owens on his victory was of greater value to Owens than the gold medal itself. His genuine heart was so that Owens felt nothing could equalize the friendship that formed between the two.
