'legend' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'to show dominance in games finals' is the wordplay.
'finals' suggests the final letters (the final letters).
The last letters of 'to show dominance in games' are 'OWENS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for owens that I've seen before include "Great athlete" , "former athlete" , "Jesse ____, Olympic gold medal sprinter" , "Veteran runner" , "Jesse -, four-times Olympic gold medallist" .)
