That German guy is making an awkward gesture. I wonder if he’s nervous or something.

Gold Medal Olympians received English Oak trees from Hitler as gifts, and Owens planted his in and around Cleveland. The last remaining Olympic Oak stood tall at Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s James Ford Rhodes High School, where Owens trained. Before it succumbed to old age, it was propogated and the genetically identical sapling was planted in 2020 at Rockefeller Park.
