Jesse Owens set five world records in one afternoon in May 1935, but he wasn't unbeatable. Another Alabama guy, Eulace Peacock (lane 5), nipped him (lane4) at the AAU Championships in Lincoln, Nebraska, in one of the most prestigious races in the history of sprint events.
Owens was also defeated by the future Senator Ralph Metcalfe (lane 3), who, with a furious finish, approached the winner.
Peacock's time of 10.2 seconds was not accepted as a world record due to the strong wind pushing too hard on his back.
Unfortunately, the rematch at the Berlin Olympics the following year didn't take place because Peacock had a foot problem and dropped out at the US Olympic Trials heats.
