Answer 1

The quote “the important thing in the Olympics is not winning but taking part. the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”, was quoted by Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic games. It was in relevance to the friendship of Olympic long jumpers Luz Long and Jesse Owens.

Carl Ludwig "Lu(t)z" Long was a German Olympic long-jumper, notable for winning Silver in the event at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin and for giving advice to his competitor, Jesse Owens, who went on to win the gold medal for the long jump. When Jesse Owens won the gold, Luz Long was the first to congratulate him.

After that Owens never again saw Luz Long, who was later killed in the World War II.
