  • Summary

  • In the second episode of The Best And Worst of the Olympics podcast Adam Batstone and David Kohn recall one of the most notorious Olympics Games in history: Berlin 1936.

    The games were staged in the capital of Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler used the occasion to show the world his vision of Aryan supremacy. His triumphant vision did not include the spectacular performance of Jesse Owens a black American athlete whose four gold medals made him the lasting hero of the Games that should never have taken place.
