The story of Csik’s secret training | outdoing the Japanese at their own j game—terrific self-discipline and ! cruelly hard work, combined with a ! shrewd summing up of his rivals’ | ability—produced one of the biggest ' sensations of the Olympic Games. Csik visited Berlin three weeks ago, but •attracted little attention,.as it was asi sumed that he was merely familiaris- ■ ing himself with conditions. He rej turned to Hungary and was forgotten, but it is now known that the sole pur-. I pose of his presence at Berlin was the I study of the methods of the Japanese in full training.

His great performance did net surprise his friends because he has recorded amazing times in Hungary. Mr R. A. Hewins, the special correspondent at Berlin of the “Observer,” in summing up the Olympic Games, says: “Frst and foremost, this is Owens’s Olympic Games. This delightful, modest, and extremely intelligent 21-year-old negro in a single week has completely revolutionised speed events. He has done in his sphere what Nurmi did for long-dis-tance running, namely, opened up entirely new possibilities for the human race.

“One of the big surprises has been the failure of the Japanese, probably because of over-training, but they suffered from the chilly, wet weather.”
