Both of these great athletes started life poor. In 1888, Jim Thorpe was born on a farm near Prague, Oklahoma. His parents named him Wa-tho-huck, a Native American name that means “Bright Path.” (“Jim”). Still, he didn’t have a bright early life. Thorpe’s twin brother, Charlie, died when Jim was nine, and his mother died shortly afterward. Thorpe attended one Indian school after another in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Pennsylvania before his athletic talent was recognized.

Jesse Owens also had a tough childhood. He was born in 1913 into a poor Alabama family. They moved north to Cleveland, hoping for a better life, but couldn’t find one.

As young adults, Thorpe and Owens used their natural talents to achieve greatness. In 1911 and 1912, Thorpe led the Carlisle Indian School varsity football team to victory over powerful teams such as Army, Georgetown, Harvard, and Pittsburgh. Thorpe scored 25 touchdowns and 198 points in his last season, and he was named All-American for two years running (“Jim”). In the same way, Owens became a track start in high school and college.

Ohio State University, he tied one world record and set three more, all in less than an hour and with an injured back! Owens broke the broad-jump record by placing a handkerchief at the old mark – 26 feet 2 ½ inches – and jumping nearly 6 inches beyond it (“Jesse”).

These great American athletes then went on to succeed against the world’s best athletes. Jim Thorpe was chosen to represent the United States in the Stockholm Olympics of 1912. There he easily won the pentathlon and set a

Decathlon score (8,413 points) that wouldn’t be topped for 20 years (“Jim”). The king of Sweden even declared Thorpe “the greatest athlete in the world,” to which Jim replied, “Thanks, King.” (“Thorpe”). Twenty-four years later, in 1936, Jesse Owens represented this country in the so-called “Hitler Olympics.” Adolph Hitler believed the Aryan race was superior, but as he watched, Owens won four gold medals, breaking an Olympic record and a world record. But Owens’ greatest accomplishment was winning

Following their days of Olympic glory, however, Thorpe and Owens both returned to harsh realities. The Olympic committee removed Thorpe’s medals because of complaints about his “professionalism.” (Professional)
