Goofs
The film depicts the infamous snubbing of Owens by Adolf Hitler after his triumph. As a matter of fact, this is a myth: Hitler never snubbed Owens given the fact that, on the first day of the Olmypics, the chancellor insisted on congratulating only German athletes. The chief of the Olmypic committee and his staff told him the he either had to congratulate all athletes or not at all, and Hitler chose the later. As told by Owens, Hitler actually did nod when he passed by him.
