Carl Lewis: The Master Finisher – Faster, Higher, Stronger – BBC Two

Carl Lewis: The Master Finisher – Faster, Higher, Stronger – BBC Two

Posted on August 11, 2019 by Mike Harmon


The nations of the 23rd of India There was one great sprinter in the 1980s who was the master finisher in the last 20 meters where slowed-down takes place This was Carl Lewis who paraded his athletic genius in front of spectators at the Los Angeles, Coliseum during the 1984 games Carl Lewis second from the left His teammate Sam Lewis showed them that sprinting could still be a thing of beauty He was a reminder of a time before power running Carl Lewis was a superb runner in a sense of unity classic big rangy fluid relaxed runner shoulders down hips high very fluid He captured some of the spirit of the past where he seemed to be stroking the ground And it didn’t seem to be as much effort to him as to the people who were struggling around him and Mama in the most perfect technical splinter and of course he was bloody quick But the reason Carl Lewis came first was that he could almost defy the law of sprinting which states that as you reach the line You must slow down On the records that we have he’s the one who lost The least of his top speed going to the final twenty of anybody ever it was his signature Quality that that car would decelerate much at a much slower rate than everyone else just About every race you watch with Carl Lewis the first half of the race He it doesn’t look like he’s gonna win the race He’s not in it But then he’s able to pull out the victory at the last and sometimes 20 and even 10 meters of there at the end of the race It actually looked like he was speeding up at the end of the race, but he’s not speeding up No, one is everyone’s decelerating at the end of the race He was just so much more efficient in terms of his technique is a very clean runner and so he was decelerating at a much slower rate What a celebration in this stadium just listening 92,000 people Luis confirmed the 100 meters as the marquee event of the olympics its winner the star of the games Up until now winning 100-meter gold made you famous but not rich Now in the newly commercialized sports culture of the 80s Lewis was emphatically both There’s something about Carl Lewis that people both loathed and loved They loved the fact that here was this man Who was able to do what he was able to do with his body athletically, but they didn’t like the fact that he was so narcissistic I guess about it that he told you about in so many ways and I think that you know in our society at that time That’s where we were evolving into this kind of individualism, and he exemplifies that especially in track and field

    wow this coverage is so 'xenophobic' in a way, they don't focus on ANYONE except the Americans iT was a lot like that back then, i remember.
    USA media / TV was very limited compared to today , and American media was as narrow as an italian winding back street.

    Carl Lewis 'wasted' his career chasing glory, when he should have focused on what he was best at. 100 meters was the glory event, got all the attention, and that's what he wanted, even though it was his worst event. He was better at the 200 (slow starter, held his form, decelerated less) and the long jump, yet he never held the world record in either event (when he could have put them out of reach) because he wanted 100 meter glory and attention. No one cared about the 200 meters back then (and Michael Johnson who did his thing instead of seek glory was the one that put it out of reach and put in on the map) and he supposedly had a 30 foot long jump foul that he could have done legitimately if he focused on the event.

    Saw him compete at an indoor event, and wanted to see him long jump.
    Was more than a little disappointed when he only took two of his allowed six jumps, since he had easy qualifying and winning jumps on his first attempts.

    I hate when professional level docos have amaeur commentators who aren't up to the standard with data – Bolt is clearly the guy with the best speed retention over the last 50m of a race based on splits. His last 10m split was always at worst 2 hundreths slower han his fastest segments around 50 -70 metres. Demonstrably better than Lewis, (3-4 hundreths)

    Watch Lewis carefully he had a bad habit of running with his hands open instead of clenched. Not the most efficient way to sprint. One thing for certain though he had the classic perfect body for running. Freeze the video at 3:36 you'll see what I mean.

    Carl Lewis is a great sadness to all sport. He symbolises together with Armstrong the american mentality to Fake it til you make it attitude, and which is celebrated and believed again and again in America, and on the same time pretending to be better than everybody else -> again and again we see that all of that is build on lies. Fitting president they have elected.
