Sprint / Race
Jesse Owens: dimpled, smiling, clutch; wins four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin; deals a blow to Hitler's Aryan supremacy.
Ben Johnson: wins 100m World Championship in 1987 in world record time; tested positive for stanozolol; once known as the Fastest Man Alive.
While each took different paths in their running careers, both returned home to entertain the masses by racing against horses and automobiles.
