The High Jump in the 1936 Olympics One news story about the modern Olympics is about men pretending to be women to enter the women's events，People are arguing about how fair it is to test women athletes to make sure they are not men.One side argues that men are stronger，so will win any women's event.They say that athletes are tested to make sure they are not using drugs to win and more importantly，women should be tested to make sure they are not men.The other side argues that this is unfair to women.They say skill is more important than strength.But has this ever really happened？The answer is yes，several times!The most famous case is that of Dora in the 1936 Olympic Games.
The Olympics were held in Berlin，Germany，three years after the Nazis came to power.The Nazis wanted to win lots of events at the Olympics.But they had wrong ideas about race.They did not want black or Jewish people in the German team.But many of their best athletes were Jewish.The Nazis did not let these athletes compete.
But that meant they might lose events!One event that the Nazis thought they might lose was the women's high jump.So the Nazis sent a male athlete，Hermann Ratjen，to compete under the name of Dora'.Did he win？No.Dora came fourth.The winner was a young Jewish woman from Hungary.She jumped 1.60 meters.Dora only jumped 1.58 meters.So men do not always win!
