[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 3356523, member: 28"] A lesser known aspect of that story was about the guy standing behind Owens on the platform: Luz Long. Long was supposed to be The Guy, yet was beaten, and instead of bitterness in this he became fast friends with Owens. They exchanged letters for the next few years until the War closed things down. From the Wikipedia: Long and Owens corresponded after 1936. In his last letter, Long wrote to Owens and asked him to contact his son Karl after the war and tell him about his father and "what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth". [/QUOTE]
