Question

Based on the story entitled 'My Greatest Olympic Prize', explain how sports can overcome all barriers. [in 500 words]

Answer 1

Answer:

This chapter is based on a real-life experience of James Cleveland who is also known as Jesse Owens. He is an American athlete who won four gold medals in the 1936 Olympic Games that were held in Berlin, Germany. Owens did not come from a very strong background, but he happened to achieve what no other athlete had achieved before. His achievement has made him the best-remembered athlete in Olympic history. He specialised in the sprints and in the long jump. He managed to crush Hitler’s myth of Aryan supremacy. During a time of deep-rooted individual segregation, he not only discredited Hitler’s master race theory but also affirmed that individual excellence rather than race or national origin distinguishes one man from another.
