African-American athlete Jesse Owens broke records and won several gold medals, shattering Hitler’s aim to use the 1936 Games as an example of the “new Aryan man。” Owens later befriended his German competitor in the long jump, Luz Long, and the pair's lap of honor became a symbol of the triumph of sportsmanship over Nazi ideology。

11名以色列运动员被巴勒斯坦恐怖分子作为人质并最终杀害，悲剧笼罩着慕尼黑奥运会。尽管奥运会继续进行，且这一事件致使保安工作有所提升，但由奥运会所推动的世界和平却永久地被破坏了。

1976年蒙特利尔奥运会：非洲抵制参赛

Montreal, 1976: African nations boycott

Human right was at the forefront of the Montreal Games after 22 African nations boycotted the Olympics because New Zealand was participating.

This marked the first of several politically-motivated boycotts of the Olympics。

The team crushed the competition as it made its way towards the final (winning all eight games) and ultimately defeated Croatia to bring home the gold medal. Still today, the Dream Team is widely celebrated as the greatest team ever assembled in any sport。
