That night I walked over to Luz Long's room in the Olympic village to thank him. I knew
that if he hadn't been there, I probably wouldn't be jumping in the i final the following day. We
sat in his quarters and talked for two hours about athletics, ourselves, the world situation, and a
dozen other things. When I finally got up to leave, we both knew that a real friendship has been
formed Luz would go out to the stadium the next day trying to beat me if he could, but I knew
that he wanted me to do my best even if that meant my winning. As it turned out, Luz broke his
past record in doing so, he pushed me on to a peak performance. I remember that at the instant
I landed from my final jump - the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 55196 inches,
he was at my side. Despite the fact that the entire stadium glared at us from the stands. Luz
shook my hand hard and it wasn't a fake smile with a broken heart and. artificial sort of grip.
You could melt down all the gold medals and cups I have, and they wouldn't be plating on the
24 carat friendship I felt for Luz Long at that moment.
