Owens did not run against any other Brazilians. José de Almeida did compete in the 200m, but he ran in heat 1 and did not advance. Owens ran in heat 3. Additionally, Mack did not beat the 1932 gold medalist in the 200m to make the team. Eddie Tolan, won the gold medal in the 100m and 200m at the 1932 Olympics.
