Jesse Owens


Jesse Owens inspires me because he always tried his best, especially at running. 

Back when he was in school he practiced and practiced until he could run faster. When he went back to school he was in a competition for the 100 metres and came first.

James Cleveland (Jesse) Owens was born in 1913 -1980. 
He was one of the most successful athletes at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. He was an athlete in long jump, the 100m and 200m sprint and 4x100 metre relay team, he won four gold medals in each and one of those events.

I want to be like him because he never gave up.
