On this day 89 years ago, on August 1, 1936 (June 15, 1936 in the lunar calendar), the 11th Berlin Olympic Games opened. The torch lighting ceremony at the opening ceremony of the Berlin Olympic Games began from the Berlin Olympic Games, and the torch relay became the highlight before the competition. On July 20, the first torch was lit in Olympia. Then began the torch relay, which each person ran 1 kilometer with the torch, and more than 3,000 people participated in the Torch Relay. On August 1, the Olympic flame was blazing in the Berlin sports stadium. The arrival of Jesse Owens brought light and hope to the cloudy Berlin Olympic Games. The black man, at the age of 21, had already created a miracle in the field: he participated in four events in a sports meeting, shared 45 minutes, tied and broke six world records. On the eve of the Olympic Games, he rewrote the 100-meter world record. This time, Owens lived up to expectations and won four gold medals in the 100-meter, 200-meter, 4X100-meter and long jump, and tied and broke three world records. The black athlete, who was disdained by Hitler, became the central figure of talk in the streets of Berlin for a while, and the press even hailed the Games as the "Owens Games". South Korean athlete Sun Ki-cheon won the marathon, which was the first time an Asian had won the gold medal in a long-distance running event. But when South Korea was a Japanese colony at the time, he bowed his head in pain when he stood on the podium to see the rising sun flag. The South Korean newspaper Dong-a Ilbo published a photo of Sun Ki-jin receiving the award, but painted the sun flag next to him, so the Japanese rulers threw eight people "involved" in the case in prison. It was not until South Korea became independent that the nationality of this gold medal was changed to South Korea. Fifty-two years later, Sun Ki-jin ran into the opening ceremony of the Seoul Olympic Games with a holy flame in his hand, and his eyes were filled with tears of pride. The style of the Berlin Olympic Games was to promote the political system, and it helped the German fascists to whitewash the peace. Three years later, the German fascists launched a war of aggression, which brought disaster to the people of the world, including the German people. In celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Olympic Movement, the International Olympic Committee issued a communiqué acknowledging its mistake, arguing that the atmosphere of militarism and Nazism that had enveloped the Berlin Games had had tragic consequences.
