It was the summer of 1936. The Olympic Gaines were being held in Berlin. I wasn't worried
about all this I'd trained, sweated and disciplined myself for six years, with the Games in mind.
While I was going over on the boat, all I could think about was taking home one or two of those
gold medals; I had my eye especially on the long jump. A year before I'd set the world record of
26 feet 8114 inches. Everyone expected me to win that Olympic event hands down. I was in for a
surprise. When the time came for the long jump trials, I was startled to see a tall boy hitting the
Pit at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps. He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. Every
Gen was evidently hoping that he would win the jump. I too was determined to go out there and
really prove myself
