1936 The Olympic Games was held in Berlin, and the best memory left is that Hitler failed to prove his Aryan superiority theory through the Olympic Games. On the contrary, this year's most popular hero is African-American sprinter and long jumper jesse owens, who won four gold medals. In the long jump, his German opponent Lutzlang even showed him kindness in front of the Nazis. The form of torch relay was introduced in 1936. The flame must come from Olympia and be passed from Olympia to the host country by torch relay. For the first time, this Olympic Games was broadcast to the whole world through television. Twenty-five large screens have been set up all over Berlin, allowing local people to watch the game for free. Basketball, canoeing and handball all all made their debut at the Olympic Games, while polo was the last to appear at the Olympic Games. United States 13-year-old Gerstein won the gold medal in the 3m springboard event, keeping the record of the youngest female gold medalist in the history of the Summer Olympic Games. Eng Sorensen of Denmark, who was only 12 years old, won the bronze medal in the 200m breaststroke. She is also by far the youngest individual medal winner. Hungarian water polo player Harassi won his third medal, although his leg was amputated in a car accident. Beresford, a British rower, won the gold medal in the synchronized sculls, which means that he won five medals in the Olympic Games. Ethiopian Palu Salou won gold medals in freestyle and Greco-Roman heavyweight wrestling.
