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

Carl Lewis: The Drug Cheat
Well Not anymore, bolt is upon us
I loved watching Carl run in my youth but can you imagine how much faster he could be if he wore underpants.
Just saying.
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.
Was it confirmed he was decelerating.. any facts or science, maybe articles?
Carl was smooth and never broke sprint position.
When everybody slows down, and he never does? Of course he won. Stupid.
"why you coming fasss"
The Greatest Track and Field Athlete of All Time
everybody hates chris*
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.
That´s right he has a good form
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)
THE BEST FORM OF ANY RUNNER IN HISTORY.
Ben Johnson used drugs just to beat this guy Carl Lewis ⚡🔥
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.
My Favorite ever Sprinter
One of the biggest cheaters, he was as juiced as Johnson. But US Athletic is much more powerful than Canadian.
Carl was a doper and a cheat!
The most naturally gifted athlete of all time!
He was beatting Sugar Ray in the first part, that's pretty good
He did slow down
Doping? Probably not, but you never know
Rob
Rob whitehall
I still consider him to be the best sprinter ever
Correction officer murder suicide
If racing wasn’t about time they’ll claim all these guys are better than Bolt lol that is what pretty much happens in other sports where opinions matter.
這個賽跑是什麼國際比賽？他跟對手是同一等級的嗎？他這加速和對手差異度，會讓我覺得這是嗑藥了吧……快的不尋常…..，Bolt同級別要超也是慢慢的過去，這個有扯
Carl Lewis is not as great as bolt Carl is a big cry baby and he should be ashamed of himself for being a guilty winner records are made to be broken ,Carl Lewis couldn't wear Bolts sweat bands
The master who admitted tó having used drugs áll the Time. Wonderful
dopper
I remember Carl edging out Leroy Burrel in the last qualifying race to qualify for 100 meters for the Olympic Games of 92 and how sweet it was because he had been losing to Leroy all year long and when they interviewed Leroy he said he didn’t see him because he was legally blind. Wow!!!!!!!
If athletes decelerate at the end of 100m wouldn't the record for the 200 be much slower?
He failed drugs tests. Factual fact.
Flo jo ran the same way!
Wow, what a graceful form. I have a new found appreciation for his running style.
he is not a clean runner, massive steroids user
Higher being the oprative word. X
Most natural runner ever. With modern training he would have been sooooo much faster.
Anyone that wore braces in track and field years after turning pro is dirty. Do what you want with that information.
Lewis was a fantastic roid junkie that had the best concealment program ever. He was never as good a natural sprinter as Ben Johnson or as technically good as Bruny Surin, the former of whom was dumb enough to get caught. So corrupt.
あ
dont talk about ben johnson leaving him in the dust ?
Usain would decelerate less at the end then him if he didn't decelerate on purpose like he always does😂
Those roids worked pretty good huh.
Ohh same to noah Lyles.. Powerful finisher
Anyone know the music?
Johnson and Lewis, most beautiful sprinters ever
Imagine if he had a start like how the other guy in red started….record breaker!!
What a priviledge to wach……
Next talk about what a great singer he is too!
Are you sure he wasnt still accelerating?
Carl Lewis: The Master Cheater POS – Faster, Higher, More drugged up.
Carl Lewis in his own words admitted that he cheated why is everyone making him more than he is, he is and will always be a cheat
One word Steroids
same level,with michal jordan,roger federer,and other best of best
He was a cheater and a drug user. Ben Johnson cleaned his clock. Lewis was a disgrace.
The Greatest American Drug Cheat in History
1984 will be remembered as the Olympics of American Drug Cheats
Carl Lewis and Flo Jo
Also he was gay.
Why do runners decelerate at the finish line?
ballsy guy
Carl Lance Lewis 🤣
Ha ha haaaaa, I was there.
Geez you can see their junk rattling in their pants…wow! awesome.
Faster, Higher, Stronger, More juiced
Steroids have ruined all these memories for me. Unfortunately, we don't really know who was the best in retrospect anymore. Ben Sinclair Johnson might have been the best…that's how crazy this whole thing has gotten…and it's not limited to one sport for sure.
steroid user…… cheater
Carl used performance enhancing drugs just like most of the best back then. Flo JO, jack joyner, prob. edwin moses too. That is why so many of the records from 80's, 90;'s still exist or took so long to be broken. it wasn't just the Russians and East Germans using drugs.
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.
That was then and he's a drug user,the greatest now is MR BOLT until the next one rise
As a track athlete I had a chance to see this guy up close. Say what they want but he was gifted….not the results if roids.
beautiful natural running
Druged
All the black bulges though😋😋😋😋😜😜😜
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS! I JUST LOVE HISTORY!
Wer‘s hier nach Mathe-ZK
der Typ hat die Mathe zk gebumst
Kein Bock auf den nächstes Jahr ZK
Der hurensohn wegen den Mathe Zk verkackt
Du hurensohn hast mich auseinander genommen
But didn't he use drugs?
1:16 look how his ballbag is going left to right 😂
:20 Just imagine how much faster he could have been in if you didn't have to carry around that 5lb bulge in his shorts.
Excellent form, just so much fun to watch, it's like art in motion.
One of the greatest sprinters of all times.
Why would anyone let up or decelerate before crossing finish line?
If Carl is King!! What do we call Bolt!!! And yes Carl is King!!!
I may be a perv but watching his junk flop around on slo mo is crazy
Faster than Usain bolt
He was full of enhancements. He should have been stripped of all medals. Stop the BS.
Ben Johnson better ! without doping !
"as u reach the line u must slow down" why is this law?/ :O
Ben Johnson was the best in that era
What a weapon he has
Michael Jackson holds the world record
For the most words uttered in one breath
He is a reminder of a time when US athletes used drugs and no one talked about it.
Black power
One of the biggest drug cheats in Olympic history.Its a shame he’s a able to get away with his reputation in tact.
Ah another American drug cheat .
