The men's 4 × 100 metres relay event at the 1936 Olympic Games took place on August 9. The United States team of Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe, Foy Draper and Frank Wykoff won in a world record time of 39.8. On the day before the 4×100-meter relay event at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, U.S. track coaches Lawson Robertson and Dean Cromwell altered the team's lineup. They removed Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller–two Jewish-American athletes—and replaced them with African-American sprinters Jesse Owens and Ralph Metcalfe. The adjusted American squad (Owens, Metcalfe, Foy Draper, and Frank Wykoff) subsequently won the gold medal and set a world record time of 39.8 seconds. Owens won his fourth and final gold medal, capping off a unique achievement at these Games. Coach Lawson Robertson officially justified the choice by stating that the team needed its fastest possible sprinters because the German host nation was allegedly hiding its best runners to stage an upset victory. Modern historians, as well as Glickman himself, view the decision as an act of political appeasement directed by Olympic officials, notably Avery Brundage. Critics argue that Brundage and Cromwell sought to prevent the domestic embarrassment of the Nazi regime, while Stoller noted the decision as a severe professional disappointment in his diaries but did not attribute it to antisemitism.
