Question

explain luz long and jesse ' s friendship in the story the greatest olympic prize

Answer 1

their friendship was unconditional
At the end of the story it is said that they friendship was like 24 carat gold which symbolises purity of their relationship. 24 carat gold is pure gold without any other metal mixed with it. When Jesse Owens says that he felt 24-carat friendship for Luz Long, he means that Long’s friendship was pure and true. When Luz was congratulating him after winning the gold in the board jump finals, it was not the fake smile with a broken heart, but a genuine one. Luz was genuinely happy that his friend Owens won the gold medal. 
 
The ‘real friendship’ between them was formed when Jesse met Luz in his quarter to thank him for helping him out and they talked for two long hours about sports, about themselves and a dozen other things.

Answer 2

Answer:

The friendship between Luz Long and Jesse Owens was the greatest Olympic prize because despite the superiority complex laid down by Hitler and against all odds they became friends. Their friendship made Jesse Owens realize that Liz was the epitome of what the founder of modern Olympic Games must have had in mind when he said that the important thing in the Games is not winning but taking part. Owens understood that the important thing in life was not conquering but fighting well. Their friendship was the greatest Olympic Prize because their friendship was for lifetime..
