Walter (Marcus Henderson) [who is really Dean's (Bradley Whitford) father, Roman Armitage], never got over his loss to Jesse Owens in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, and that is why he continues to run. Director Jordan Peele confirmed during the DVD commentary that Walter/Roman would run at night to improve his time, shown in the scene where he runs directly at Chris (Daniel Kaluuya). Near the end of the film, when Walter/Roman is about to kill Chris, Peele thought about adding the line "I finally beat you, Jesse!" He decided against it, feeling it would be over the top.
