Advertisements
Solution
Luz Long, noticing a world record holder pathetically fouling, understood the reason behind it, Without hesitation, despite being an opponent, he extends an arm of friendship to Owens. Long was expected to beat Owens in the finals, His being friendly with Owens only resulted in angering his leader, Hitler. Without paying heed to that, he also gave his rival crucial tips to avoid fouling, Owens took the advice and won.
When Owens finished his jump, he found Long by his side congratulating him on his victory, not bothering about his leader’s glares. He didn’t seem to mind his loss. His demeanor and handshake, at Owens’ victory, showed no sign of jealousy either. Long was the epitome of the message of Coubertin that not winning, but taking part in Olympics is more important.
