Carl Lewis Documnetary pt1

The greatest athelete of ALLTIME period. The best sprinter of his time. And the greatest long jumper of ALLTIME. Went undefeated for 10 years in the long jump. From 1981 to 1991. When Mike Powell did that amazing freak jump in Tokyo at the 1991 world championships. Won 4 consecutive golds in a row at the Olympics. Nobody else has even won 2 in a row. In total 9 Olympic gold medals and 1 silver. LEGEND.

Carl Lewis was all over my walls in that amazing red track & field outfit. He inspired this girl, just to do me one T&E 100. I had asthma but I always dreamed to breath long enough to be fast. Like Carl Lewis. Like FloJo, like JackieK. Love you all - thank you for inspiring.

Carl Lewis - as his coach said, was quite unique, a few people like him in the world - god given talent and physique, discipline and intelligence. A great role model indeed.

19.81, 9.99, Gold long jump, WR 4x100 those times would win many many races to this day.

Legendary.

For all those who go on about drugs and "secret tests" and so on, Lewis competed at an elite level from 1979 to 1998. That's a mighty long time to go undetected. Lewis was an exquisite athlete. The only thing that bugs me about his past was that he never landed a long jump correctly. If Lewis landed like Myricks, Lewis would be the WR holder today.

I'd always wanted Bolt to have a bash at the long jump 😜

He was better than Bolt as the word Athlete. Lean tall and light also his times were good enough to still win today

I needed salt with my chips so I watched this

WHY IS THE COACH ALMOST NAKED??

all the best

8:48 would the italian have been disqualified?

So many butt hurt Ben Johnson fans are here in comments section

I use to look up to him then I realized how arrogant he was. It didn't bother me he was a doper (As I feel they should all be allowed to "Juice up") what bothered me was how materialistic, arrogant and what hyporcrite he was .

If anti-doping regulations had been strictly enforced, Calvin Smith would have left the 1988 Seoul Games as the Olympic 100 meters champion and world-record holder. Calvin Smith finished fourth behind Ben Johnson, Carl Lewis and Linford Christie. Today he is the only man among the first five finishers in Seoul untouched by a drug scandal. Ben Johnson was hustled out of Seoul after testing positive for the steroid stanozolol following his victory in a world-record 9.79 seconds.  It was revealed in 2003 that Carl Lewis had failed three drugs tests for stimulants during the 1988 Olympic trials. Under the rules of the time he should have been banned from the Games but the results were covered up by the U.S. Olympic Committee after it accepted his plea that he had innocently taken a herbal supplement. Christie failed a test for the stimulant pseudoephedrine after the final but was cleared on a split decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) medical commission when he argued that he had taken it inadvertently in ginseng tea. If Carl Lewis had been banned from the Games and Linford Christie disqualified, Smith would have been next in line for the gold medal and his world record would have stood once Johnson's times were scrubbed from the books.

lol

Lewis was a cheat, zero integrity.

Drug cheat...
