About this listen
Achieving a single world record is remarkable. Breaking multiple, in under an hour, is the stuff of legend. But in 1935, Jesse Owens did exactly that.
In this episode of How It All Played Out, Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward revisit one of the most extraordinary moments in sports history. They explore how Owens, battling injury, fatigue, and a deeply divided society, delivered a performance that defied belief and redefined greatness.
Join us as we unpack the legacy of a man who didn’t just outrun his rivals—but also the racism and obstacles that faced him. It's a story not to be missed.
