In that night Jesse met Luz to thank him and talked about themselves, sport events and the world situation among other things. Jesse came to know that Luz did not believe in the Aryan-supremacy theory. They became good friends after that conversation and Luz really wanted Jesse to do his best - even if that meant Jesse’s winning.
The next day Luz broke his own past record and that inspired Jesse for a peak performance. When finally he landed from his final jump, Luz was the first man there to congratulate him. He shook hands with Jesse firmly, despite the fact that Hitler was watching them from the stands. This was a great display of true friendship and sportsman spirit from Luz.
Jesse Owens went on to win four gold medals that year. But he feels that Luz Long’s friendship was the greatest Olympic prize which he won in Berlin. In fact, their friendship ended only when Long died in World War II.
