There are many great Olympic moments worth remembering.
Mary Lou Retton scoring a perfect 10. Ben Johnson being booted for 'roids. Greg Louganis slamming the back of his head into the diving board. Too many to count really.
There is one that tops them all though.
You would be hard-pressed to convince me that ever was there a more apropos embodiment of what it means to be an Olympian then when Ohio State's own Jesse Owens gave the most evil dictator of modern times the proverbial middle finger in his own backyard.
That's right, leave it to a Buckeye to right the great wrongs. As far as I'm concerned, Jesse Owens is the greatest Ohio State alum of all time.
