We continue our journey through the Games of the modern Olympic era as we come to the 1936 Games in Berlin. These were the Games where Hitler wanted to show the supremacy of white athletes but a humble black American called Jesse Owens stole the show with four gold medals. And we talk to Dorothy Tyler who won silver in the women's high jump at the 1936 Games. In an interview recorded in 2011 when she was 91 she recalls the Opening Ceremony, her silver medal winning performance and her meeting with Jesse Owens.
