I mean Hitler was pretty freaking stupid if he thought a bunch of white racers are the superior stock in racing. It's a known fact that Africans dominate all racing sports, something white supremacists themselves readily admit to, so Jesse Owen's beating a bunch of German racers has as much surprise as Eddie Hall outlifting a bunch of Arabs in the World's Strongest Man competition
you're missing the point.
Missing a whole bunch of points.
Also...this was 1936, when the Olympics was only twenty some years old, non whites, and non white countries were only then just starting to participate in large numbers, and no race had yet made a mark on any particular sport.
