The 1936 Olympics were supposed to be all about showcasing the grandeur of the third reich and promoting the superiority of the, "master race."

Jesse Owens put the lie to that notion when he stood at the top of the awards platform and saluted the American flag.

I pray that there are several Christian Jesse Owens' in this Olympics who will stand atop the platforms and give glory to God for their (i.e. His) victories.

I also pray for that to happen.
