Answer:
Explanation:
A "real friendship" was formed between Owens and Luz when he heartily came to thank Long in the Olympic Village. Owens was utterly disheartened on the sudden arrival of Luz due to which he was so badly affected that he fouled two times in the trials itself. Luz on noticing and understanding his state of mind gave him a piece of advice to draw a line a few inches in back of the board and aim at making his take-off from there, Owens on responding to it, followed it and was successfully able to qualify. As Owens went to express his heartfelt gratitude, Luz and he talked for hours on dozens of topics and as he left gaining enough confidence, he was sure enough that a pure bond of friendship away from racial prejudice had been formed. Luz wanted Owens to give his best the next day even though if it meant his lose which Owens could rectify easily. Both of them did not worry about the societal norms between the Nazis and the Negros but just portrayed true sportsman spirit and a pure, innocent association of friendship.
