So you didn't grow up with Olympic history, that's why.
Summer Olympic history.
That's American history.
I have no idea what he's referencing.
So the 1936 Olympics were held in Adolf Hitler's Germany, and it was obviously supposed to be the crowning achievement of the Aryan race.
And Jesse Owens was amazing, won four gold medals, destroyed the field, did everything.
And Hitler had to stand there.
Oh, my gosh.
He's a black man, a black American.
I've heard the name Jesse Owens, and I know who he was, but I guess I just didn't realize what he did.
That's why he became iconic.
Absolutely.
I think of all the things that have occurred in Olympic history in terms of our country, that's clearly number one.
Because I don't even think of it as Olympic history.
I think of it as American history.
Right.
