Legendary track and field athlete Jesse Owens set three world records and tied another in less than an hour at the 1935 Big Ten track meet, which has been called "the greatest 45 minutes ever in sport" and has never been matched. However, Jesse Owens will always be remembered for crushing Hitler's theory of Aryan supremacy by winning four gold medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. This autographed and inscribed cut is accompanied by two newspaper clippings about the 1936 Olympics and a 2009 article about the city of Berlin honoring Jesse Owens. JSA authenticated.
