We all have dreams. In order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort. – Jesse Owens
James Cleveland “Jesse” Owens was an American track and field athlete. He won Olympic gold four times in the 1936 Olympic games and four-time gold medalist in the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany.
Owens specialized in sprints and the long jump. He was recognized in his lifetime as “perhaps the greatest and most famous athlete in track and field history”. He set three world records and tied another, all in less than an hour at the 1935 Big Ten track meet in Michigan – an accomplishment that has never been equaled and has been called “the greatest 45 minutes ever in sport.”
