 1936 Olympic Expectations
Now that Uncle Sam, the well meaning old fellow, has picked the best there is in athletes -- male and female -- it is to be hoped that they do considerably better than the squad which bore the American shield into the Olympic Games at Amsterdam in 1928.
All season long the stumpy-legged Draper, a little man with a big heart, was conceded to be one of the finest 220-yard dash men in the country, and 220 yards in a blood brother of the 200-meter.
But he made it there, and put on a great burst of speed to finish third behind Owens and Metcalfe in the 100, thus earning the trip that may enable him to grasp the honors denied his flying feet at Amsterdam in 1928.

This being an American film, the emphasis is on the participating American athletes, notably track & field greats Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe,
Perhaps understandably, the material has been reassembled to cast the recently defeated Nazis in as unflattering a light as possible (in the original film, Riefenstahl treated the contestants with impartiality and equanimity -- much to the dismay of German propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels).
