Question

Critical Assessment of story My Greatest Olympic Prize by Jesse Owens.

Answer 1

The lesson "My Greatest Olympic Prize" is the  heart-touching experience of Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens.  Adolf Hitler believed in Aryan Superiority theory.  He thought that his German athlets belong to a master's race and they would perform better than other participants in the 1936 Olympics, Berlin.  So nationalistic feelings were running high.  The American Negro athlete Jesse Owens took 6 years of painful practice, purposely to break the theory of Hitler. He had already made a world record in long jump just in the last year. So he expected to win the gold medal easily this time. 
An angry athlete will commit mistakes.  Jesse Owens was no exception to this. He was hot under the collar (angry) with Hitler's childish Aryan theory.  So he committed mistakes.  His performance in trial was very poor. He kicked the pit in disgust.   But the German Luz Long performed well.  He was qualified for the final.  This disturbed Jesse Owens very much. That was my best moment ever
