Four-time Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens has signed this cut. Owens, a track and field star equally adept at sprinting, jumping, and hurdling events, won gold medals in the 100m, 200m, long jump, and 4 x 100m relay during the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics. Owens once set three world records and tied a fourth in the span of less than an hour during a track meet at the University of Michigan in 1935 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest track athletes in the sport’s history. Owens has signed this black and white photograph of Owens at the Berlin Olympics photo in black fine-tip marker, inscribing “To Mark My Best Always” and “36 Olympics” in addition to his signature. This comes with a LOA from Beckett Authentication.
