Conley might have hit 28. He was high 27. Then Powell jumped over 28. Twice I think. Low 28. The meet that Powell and Lewis had them pushing each other had Powell jumping over 28 5 times. So only 5 guys ever jumped over 28. 2 guys one time each. Beamon who never jumped 28 ft. Just 29 2 once. Powell and Lewis who jumped over 28 feet 100 times?

I was 11 years old in 1984 and Carl Lewis was literally like a God to me. I remember I was pretty much always the fastest kid in my school, and baseball I was always the lead off and was always the guy that was stealing bases, football I was always one of the fastest kids so Carl Lewis was the kind of athlete that I thought I was lol and could relate to.

Carl Lewis has broken his silence on allegations that he was the beneficiary of a drugs cover-up, admitting he had tested positive for banned substances but claiming he was just one of "hundreds" of American athletes who were allowed to escape bans. "There were hundreds of people getting off," he said. "Everyone was treated the same." Lewis has now acknowledged that he failed three tests during the 1988 US Olympic trials, which under international rules at the time should have prevented him from competing in the Seoul games two months later.

Carl was a great sprinter and long jumper. (From a young kid’s perspective at that time. He was a superhero on the track.) I watched this from my hospital room in traction summer 84’. 😏

Best form I've ever seen anywhere. A notorious slow start because he came out of the blocks so gradually, always executing perfect form. Guys like Ben would jump erect and reach upright into the first 2-3 steps. Carl tended to start separating at 60, reach top speed at 80 and hold it through but (as some do) he might accelerate after reaching top speed. That describes his typical race, and it's almost exactly what happened in this final.

Bit of a moot point, but why was Lewis in lane 7 for the final? He won his semi final and had the quickest qualifying time of the round. This is the only time I can remember where that hasn't yielded a lanes 3-6 draw, which is where you always want to be in the 100m, ideally. Any ideas?

I'm not a big Carl Lewis fan. But nine gold medals is no joke...

High school seniors running 10.1s and 10.2s now. Better training or better athletes? I'm not sure. Carl is still the father of modern sprinting, technique and especially the commercial/professional aspects. All these wealthy pros should give Carl 5%. He paved the way through sheer force of will and excellence.

Drugs. He got caught in a big scandal after involving PEDS. "Carl Lewis has broken his silence on allegations that he was the beneficiary of a drugs cover-up, admitting he had tested positive for banned substances but claiming he was just one of "hundreds" of American athletes who were allowed to escape bans. "There were hundreds of people getting off," he said. "Everyone was treated the same." Lewis has now acknowledged that he failed three tests during the 1988 US Olympic trials, which under international rules at the time should have prevented him from competing in the Seoul games two months later."

I recommend the book Inside track, biography of Carl Lewis. What I have concluded by reading it is that Carl Lewis was a great personality and the one who actually started first to speak openly in public about missusing of streoids in athletics by many champions. Then some of them were caught and banned. One can also see how people who are using streoids look like gorilas with big muscles. Carl Lewis had a body as a stronger teenager. But his mother and father were sprinters and athletic coaches. So he got great talent and had great genetics for a sprinter. He was a very pious and spiritual person and with much more humility then many modern sprinters who were often shouting in front of cameras after the victory "I am the best".... His running style is one of the most elegant ever seen in track and field history.

Amazing times when competitors were serious dudes 😄😄
