Who is faster Usain Bolt or Jesse Owens?
A cheetah is faster. The big cats can reach a speed of 112 to 120 km/hr (70 to 75 mph). Usain Bolt runs a course of 200 meters in 19.3 seconds, but that is only an average speed of 37.3 km/hr (23.1 mph). His top speed is only about 50 km/hr (30 mph).
The cheetah also has faster acceleration : 0 to 64 mph in 3 seconds, which is faster than most cars other than dragsters.
Bolt would need a head start, because he could probably continue running once the cheetah tired after about 400 meters.

How did luz long help Jesse Owens?
Jesse Owens said in 1964 that Luz Long went to him and told him to try and jump from a spot several inches behind the take-off board. Since Owens routinely made distances far greater than the minimum of 7.15m required to advance, Long surmised that Owens would be able to safely advance to the next round without risking a foul trying to push for a greater distance. On his third qualifying jump, Owens was calm and jumped with at least four inches (10 centimeters) to spare, easily qualifying for the finals. In the finals competition later that day, the jumpers exceeded the old Olympic record five times. Owens went on to win the gold medal in the long jump with 8.06m while besting Long's own record of 7.87m. Long won the silver medal for second place and was the first to congratulate Owens.
