American track-and-field star Jesse Owens (seen here in a qualifying heat) won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, including one for the 200-meter run. Owens's dominant performance was an embarrassment to Adolf Hitler, who had hoped to use the Olympics to showcase Aryan supremacy. Photograph by the Associated Press
