À propos de cet audio
"I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler but I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the president either" - Jesse Owens
In the concluding episode of Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward’s Adolf Hitler’s 1936 Olympics trilogy, the pair uncover the lasting legacy of the Berlin Games and how they shaped athletes, politics, and global sport for decades to come.
From Jesse Owens’ post-Olympic struggles and forced European tour, to Luz Long’s unlikely friendship across racial divides, and the rise of the Hitler Youth, this episode explores both the human stories and the Nazi political propaganda that defined the era.
This episode reveals how the 1936 Olympics became the blueprint for modern-day sportswashing - influencing how nations like China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia use global sporting events for power and image-building.
Nearly 90 years later, the shadow of Hitler’s Olympics still looms large over the world of sport.
