Sprinter Jesse Owens demonstrates the new "standing start" position in Cleveland, Ohio, July 30, 1935. The new style of starting, which was suggested to him by his former high school coach Charlie Riley, has shaved 1/5 of a second from his time for the first 20 yards. Owens hopes replacing the old "crouch" type start will enable him to run 100 yards in nine seconds flat. (KEYSTONE/AP Photo)
