Adolf Hitler wanted to amaze the world with the organization of the Olympic Games and the monumental architectures created�for the event.
But the show was stolen by Jesse Owens, 23-year-old black man from Alabama, USA, who won 4 gold medals in athletics.
He humiliated the racist theories on the perfection of Germany�s people.
In this context, between the two Football World Cups of �34 and �38, the triumph of Italian football team took place.
The competition was of high quality, but not so hard: Uruguay, Czechoslovakia and Belgium, the best three teams in the world at that time were not present.
Italian national team started with a 1-0 against USA, continued with a 8-0 against Japan and 3-2 against Sweden.
During the semi-final against Norway, in front of 90.000 people in the Olympiastadion, italy won 2-1. Italy-Austria.
The Austrian team had eliminated Per� and Poland during the semi-final and they were ready to win the gold medal.
The entire Stadium�s public was for Austria. You can imagine the noise when during the �70 minute Italian team scored a goal and took on the lead. But then Kainberger equalised the goals during the 80�.
The match lasted until the 120� minute and during the 92� Frossi, from the Italian team, scored the last goal, the one that brought Italy to victory.
