sit down.

179
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.156
Charlie Riley
says you can run.

180
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:08.634
Yes, sir.

181
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.276
Well, says you're a natural,
best he's ever seen.

182
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.230
Well, I guess.

183
00:10:15.640 --> 00:10:17.392
Me personally,
I don't trust naturals,

184
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.950
'cause they think
they don't have to work.

185
00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:22.439
I will say,

186
00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.479
you can run.

187
00:10:25.520 --> 00:10:27.476
(CHUCKLES)
And, boy, oh, boy, you can jump.

188
00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:31.189
What I wanna know is,
can you win?

189
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.640
And what I mean by
that is, can you work?

190
00:10:37.400 --> 00:10:39.516
You know, your mama might've
taught you how to dress right,

191
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.511
but she sure as hell didn't teach
you anything about manners.

192
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.920
You should look a man in the
eye when he's speaking to you.

193
00:10:46.760 --> 00:10:48.193
Can you work?

194
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.469
I was picking 100 pounds of
cotton a day at six years old.

195
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.112
You ever pick cotton?

196
00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:59.390
The way it cuts you when you,
when you get it off the boll?

197
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:02.758
Yes, sir, I can work.

198
00:11:04.160 --> 00:11:06.037
Coach Riley's a smart man.

199
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.400
But I was watching you out there today,
I'll tell you this.

200
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:14.591
Your start's no good, your rhythm's
off and your posture's lousy.

201
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.915
But we can fix all that.
That's easy.

202
00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:20.794
But if you wanna win, it takes more
than a pair of legs, all right?

203
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:22.911
You win up here.

204
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.069
And that's the part I don't know about
you yet. I don't know if you got that.

205
00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:31.792
I ran 100 yards last year
in Chicago in 9.4.

206
00:11:31.920 --> 00:11:32.920
LARRY: Mmm-hmm.

207
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.752
I mean, it's the same as Wykoff.
It's a world record.

208
00:11:34.880 --> 00:11:36.598
Records don't mean shit!

209
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.109
You know what matters?

210
00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:40.788
Medals.

211
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.272
Some kid come out of nowhere,
snatch your record from you like that.

212
00:11:44.760 --> 00:11:46.352
But a gold medal?

213
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.191
That's yours for life.

214
00:11:53.280 --> 00:11:54.679
Is that you?

215
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:57.828
Mmm-hmm.

216
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.313
It's the US Olympic team,
Paris games, '24.

217
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:03.468
Go ahead, take a look.

218
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.153
That's me on the right,
next to Charley Paddock.

219
00:12:10.880 --> 00:12:14.919
You, you went to Paris in '24
with Charley Paddock?

220
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:17.275
No.

221
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:19.639
Well, why not?

222
00:12:20.280 --> 00:12:22.157
You wanna win
a gold medal?

223
00:12:23.800 --> 00:12:25.028
Well, sure.

224
00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:26.479
You wanna do
it in Berlin?

225
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.559
Well, I mean, unless you
were planning on waiting.

226
00:12:34.640 --> 00:12:35.993
You know, I...

227
00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:39.633
I heard they don't care
much for colored folk over there.

228
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.991
Well, they don't care for 'em
much here in Columbus either.

229
00:12:44.280 --> 00:12:45.679
Is that gonna
be a problem?

230
00:12:47.520 --> 00:12:50.751
No, sir.
I just came here to run.

231
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.078
Well, then,
for the next 28 months,

232
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.316
you're either in a classroom or
you're on that track,

every day.

234
00:12:57.280 --> 00:12:59.714
And I don't care about your grades.
I really don't.

235
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:00.795
And I don't care
if your buddies

236
00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:01.869
have a keg they
need help with.

237
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.155
And I certainly don't care
if you got a girl at home

238

with that look in her eye.

239

an understanding?

Yes, sir.

00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:17.757

and get some rest.

I mean, after the noise
you made in Chicago,

247
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.475
hell, you could've
gone anywhere you wanted.

248

they're thinking of renaming us
the "Model T State."

so long as it's black.

you and Coach Schmidt

261
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.640
let 'em play football, they wouldn't
all choose track and field, huh?

You're gonna think I'm nuts,
but we're gonna do 'em anyway.

363
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.349
First, we're gonna start off
with high knees, like that.

364
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.078
You got to lift those legs.

365
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:14.832
And we're gonna work
on your syncopation.

366
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.480
A lot people think a shorter
stride makes you slower.

367
00:19:17.560 --> 00:19:18.959
Well, a lot of
people are wrong.

368
00:19:19.040 --> 00:19:22.555
A shorter stride means more
strides and a faster time.

369
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:24.920
When your feet are in the air,
you're not moving forward.

370
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.070
So let's get those
legs working double-time.

371
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.071

Excuse me.

1901
02:00:24.960 --> 02:00:27.793
Mr. Owens, my name is
Leni Riefenstahl. Um...

1902
02:00:28.480 --> 02:00:30.550
I have a favor
to ask you.

1903
02:00:31.240 --> 02:00:32.798
(CAMERA FILM ROLLING)

1904
02:00:34.080 --> 02:00:35.672
(SPEAKING GERMAN)

1905
02:00:38.080 --> 02:00:39.229
Would you mind
one more?

1906
02:00:39.360 --> 02:00:40.509
(PANTING)

1907
02:00:40.720 --> 02:00:42.676
Last time,
I promise.

1908
02:00:43.000 --> 02:00:45.992
Well, sure,
but isn't that cheating?

1909
02:00:46.360 --> 02:00:47.360
Cheating?

1910
02:00:47.480 --> 02:00:48.480
Yeah.

1911
02:00:49.280 --> 02:00:51.794
I'm just saying that's not
the actual jump I made.

1912
02:00:52.760 --> 02:00:54.876
You did make
that jump.

1913
02:00:55.120 --> 02:00:56.633
We all saw it.

1914
02:00:57.160 --> 02:00:59.071
You made history
out here.

1915
02:00:59.200 --> 02:01:01.919
All I'm doing
is making sure

1916
02:01:02.040 --> 02:01:04.759
years from now, those people who
weren't there can see it too.

1917
02:01:06.760 --> 02:01:09.399
So they never
forget what you did.

1918
02:01:10.280 --> 02:01:11.838
(CHUCKLES)

1919
02:01:13.520 --> 02:01:14.839
One more?

1920
02:01:16.360 --> 02:01:17.395
Please.

1921
02:01:17.480 --> 02:01:19.072
All right. One more.

1922
02:01:19.160 --> 02:01:20.593
Danke. Danke.

1925
02:02:25.160 --> 02:02:26.593
Wonderful.
Here we go.

1926
02:02:26.680 --> 02:02:28.671
Good evening.
Hello, sir.

1927
02:02:41.920 --> 02:02:43.194
Not bad, huh?

1928
02:02:43.320 --> 02:02:44.594
Not bad at all!

1929
02:02:49.480 --> 02:02:52.119
I'm sorry, sir,
but your friends

1930
02:02:52.280 --> 02:02:54.919
will have to use
the service entrance.

1931
02:02:57.000 --> 02:02:58.069
Are you kidding me?

1932
02:03:00.560 --> 02:03:01.754
You know
who this is?

1933
02:03:02.000 --> 02:03:03.069
Yes, sir.

1934
02:03:03.160 --> 02:03:05.071
I mean, they're
holding the dinner for him.

1935
02:03:05.160 --> 02:03:06.229
Yes, sir.

1936
02:03:08.520 --> 02:03:13.116
I'm sorry, Mr. Owens, sir,
but those are the rules.

1937
02:03:13.200 --> 02:03:15.839
Yeah? Yeah, well,
your rules are bullshit!

1938
02:03:15.920 --> 02:03:18.036
You know that, yeah? How about
you go inside and get your boss

1939
02:03:18.200 --> 02:03:20.236
or someone that can
actually help us out... Coach, Coach.

1940
02:03:20.320 --> 02:03:22.709
It's all right.
Go ahead.

1941
02:03:22.840 --> 02:03:24.432
I'll meet you in there.

1942
02:03:47.440 --> 02:03:48.668
Unbelievable.

1943
02:03:57.520 --> 02:03:58.714

1944
02:03:58.840 --> 02:04:00.034
