Przedruk z The Pittsburgh Press z 24 sierpnia 1936 roku i słowa Owensa:
""Hitler had a certain time to come to the stadium and a certain time to leave".
"It happened he had to leave before the victory ceremony after the 100 meters. But before he left I was on my way to a broadcast and passed near his box.
He waved at me and I waved back. I think it was 'bad taste' to criticize the man of the hour in another country"."
