Fredericks absolutely murdered that curve!
Massacred the curve
i thought he was going to keep running behind lewis to the finish lol
Frank Fredricks smoked that turn.
Absolutely.

FOR REAL
He sure did dam....
@Damian Ash I know right! And I thought Dennis Mitchell and Tyson Gay were a couple of good turn runners! Feel the heat bro.
Bailey, Burrel, Fredricks and Lewis, that's a fantastic team.
Just imagine if that was a young team with practice
That’s just an unbelievable team!!
at their best it would still be tough to figure out the positions. Bailey can't be the starter, he had a weak start but was one of the best anchor runners. On the curve you could have either Fredericks or Lewis. Burrel shoule have either been the starter or 2nd leg. Imo I would have Burrel, Bailey, Frankie and Lewis because I am quite sure Lewis would have bitched about not going last. lol
@@martifrey3357 I agree. Bailey was always better at 2nd leg or home stretch.
Frederick's 3rd leg was absolutely insane
The COACH Frankie always had a great 'third leg' lol
That's an understatement !
Fredrickson to Lewis...chills!!! Just Beautiful Running....
Carl is my hero,since I was a child 1984,he always get the 100m top in the world
my hero was ben johnson
All I'm going to say is that Frankie Federicks ate that turn in a ridiculous way!
Damn. Can you image a dream team in the Usain Bolt’s era?
1st Leg 🇯🇲 Asafa Powell 9.72
2nd Leg🇺🇸 Tyson Gay 9.69
3rd Leg 🇯🇲 Yohan Blake 9.69
4th Leg 🇯🇲 Usain Bolt 9.58
factss and gatlin as the spare bruh that is a 36.5 team
Lots of drugs amongst that dream team
Carl Lewis was amazing!
I miss the late 90’s I was kid but i remember it well
I thought Carl Lewis was a good bloke until he spoke negatively about Jamaica when Usain Bolt blew the world away with his success and the Jamaican 4 by 100m relay team smashing the world record and running under 37 seconds. Michael Johnson was impressed by Usain Bolt and even explained and analyzed how he achieved the times he ran. That's sportsmanship for you.
Why is he not a good bloke for saying it's possible that top athletes aren't clean? We know they are all on the gear. Literally everyone is on it. The rules make it completely possible for everyone to cheat.
@@stella9624 Because he and no one else has the right the sling allegations without proof. And, who are you to say, literally everyone is on the gear?
@@johnohill463 Enough research has lead me to the conclusion that the athletes are on gear. Now, who are you to be the defender of them all?
@@stella9624 This conversation isn't getting anywhere so I'll be brief.
@@johnohill463 To be fair, you kind of killed it when you hit me with the "who are you". That's not an argument. Anyways, we can agree to disagree ✌😊
I have seen no man ever running such smooth on turf except for Lewis.
I still remember my last competition 4x100 relay. I was the 2nd handoff going toe to toe against the fastest man on the west coast of USA. I pulled away from him. The hand off was good on my part but in front of me he was too slow. I had to brake hard, we took 3nd with the widest gap to 3rd in history. Time 42.2 afterwards I asked him why did he slow me down causing me to run up on Jim. He said he got scared. Never saw anybody run so fast. I should have been on the Munich team as this was 50 yrs ago. But I can still run fast. Ran 2 consecutive 300m in 36s back to back. Just a few years ago at the law enforcement track.
Nobody is going to run down Carl Lewis.
Linford Christie, "Hold my Pint"
@@jeffallinson8089 Ben Johnson ' Hold my syringe ' lol
💉💉💉💊......🤭...😇
I forgot all about the twist out Carl Lewis era.
I don’t think you forgot, I think you blocked it out because it was so traumatic. He looks so cringe I hope you forget” about it again soon.
@@Hengel_Andrews The two of you have me screaming over here!!
It’s funny looking back. They slammed Carl in the beginning of this program when he spoke up about drug culture in track and field, but he turned out to be right.
You mean he turned out to be a drug cheat? He tested positive for a banned substance in the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials. Shame on you Carl!
!!!!!!
Lewis was on drugs himself only only the US team cover it up
He tested positive for Peds and they called it a false positive it's the one and only time I've ever heard of a false positive for PeD test. He gets a pass because he's an American. They been cheating the US track team 35 years or more. Tyson Gay Justin Gatlin Dennis Mitchell. Marion Jones. Explain to me why all those females track stars have died at the age of 38 years older or younger. But they blame poor Ben Johnson gets crucified cuz he cheated when everybody else in that race except for two other runners. Have cheated. . Tim Montgomery was caught cheating. Maurice Greene was caught giving Peds or paying for Peds for other track athletes in his camp. All cheaters . Wonder why all of a sudden there's no gold medal winners in awhile 🤔. Coming from the USA.
Lol he popped and it got covered up
Carl Lewis, un grand Monsieur sur le terrain et en dehors du terrain. Jamais égalé. Merci Monsieur Lewis.
🎤And the rockets... red glaaah... Uh oh. I'll make up for it.
“Uh Oh!”
🤦🏾♂️
😭😭😭 i promise i will make it up
@@dsteelz81 To this day, Carl has yet to make up for that way off key demolition of the national anthem.
I guess Carl wasn't out of line. Commentator eats Crow.
right on Carl was absolutely correct .
lance Armstrong and Marion Jones say otherwise
Actually he was out of line....I only say that because you must not be familiar with what the East Germans (and Soviet Union) were doing during that time period. It was "state sponsored" cheating meaning almost all athletes of those countries were doping and team officials and the gov was aware and endorsed it. US got PLENTY of cheaters....no doubt, but to compare to East Germany where athletes are on record saying they were cut from team for NOT taking PED's? Not the same. That is how bad the Germans and Russians wanted to win back then....US did not sponsor cheating...they just send three times as many athletes as everyone else and then brag about the number of medals they won.
@@MB-fv9jh I know about the Russians and East German because I was around to see their dominance in track. Until recently many of the Sprint world records in the 70s and 80s were held by the East Germans until the rise of Evelyn Ashford and later Flo jo.. Check out the 400 meter world record. Until recently it seemed untouchable.. And it still stands. I believe the difference is we all knew they Doped and Do you have a thought to as why they haven't been stripped of any medals and why the records haven't been taken down? I mean since Marion Jones times have been erased or no longer in the books. Also what Mr Lewis said and later watching the Balco scandal and many US Athletes from baseball, Cycling and track and field go down for doping was just a sad thing to see. So that's why Carl Lewis wasn't out of line to call it out years before anyone did anything about it. Btw.
do you believe the Jamaicans are somehow using enhancement drugs that has yet to be detected? Thank you.
@@nefertitiscott1934 Now you are moving the goal post. The commentator was referring to his comment comparing US TRACK AND FIELD drug culture to the East German 60's and 70's athletes, where again, it was not only standard to dope but in some cases required. Many documentaries have been made about this. You are using revisionist history to give Carl credit for something he did not say. Of course looking back on it now, you can say there was many cases of doping throughout sports in America. However, the fact is the time period that Carl specifically spoke to was NO WHERE NEAR the organized and sanctioned cheating the Germans or even old Soviet Union were doing. That is just a fact. As for the Jamaicans, in particular the women, I think they are just flat out whuppin the american's ass and they are having a hard time dealing with it.
Frank Fredricks won that race
Frankie Frederick's took flight
Yall forgot Donovan Bailey. Donovan smoked them on that 1st leg
Trying to find a dream team that can match or break the JAMAICA'S WR Team and I honestly can't find any. Because Carter is the best first leg in the world. Micheal Frater matches Gatlin on the back stretch. Blake was faster than Gay. No doubt! And absolutely no one could have beaten usain bolt on the anchor leg.🤷♂️
Are you talking about a phantasy dream team? If so then mine would be Ben Johnson, Donovan Bailey, Michael Johnson and Maurice Greene. They could have been very close to the WR at their best
@@martifrey3357 that team isn't gonna break the previous 37:04 let alone 36:85.
@@framez7904 Bailey and Greene had the potential to run low 9.70s, MJ is the 2nd best 200m runner ever and Ben is probably the only sprinter that could have run low to mid 9.60s behind Bolt. So yes they run below 37 seconds on a perfect day
@@martifrey3357 potentials this, potentials that. If they've never done it, it doesn't matter. I could also say the entire Jamaica team had the potential to run sub 9.7 in the 100m. Also, Blake has the second fastest 200m time ever.
@@framez7904 So? Does that change anything about what I said?
Jesse Owens, Carl Lewis , Maurice Greene, Usain Bolt !!
Epic team that would've been!!
Forget Carl lewis put Justin gatlin he's the best second leg
FRK creations Insane squad🔥
Replace three of them owens,lewis and greene with blake, gay and powell as they have faster times
@@Monsterup-ye8cr But their era was different, if they had better spikes and good synthetic track like now, they would've clocked better
Carl Lewis 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.
The admission is a further embarrassment for the United States Olympic Committee, which had initially denied claims that 114 positive tests between 1988 and 2000 were covered up. It will add weight to calls by leading anti-doping officials and top athletes for an independent inquiry into the US's record on drug issues.
Dr Wade Exum alleged that a ban imposed on Lewis after positive tests for three stimulants had been overturned by the USOC when the athlete said he had ingested them mistakenly in a herbal supplement.
Lewis received only a warning after officials ruled that his positive tests were due to "inadvertent" use. Some scientists believe the substances could have been a masking agent for more serious drugs, such as anabolic steroids
Tariq Luqmaan Trotter A herbal suplement,my foot
@@MsSlucyna Carl Lewis was an activist against steroid use during the height of his career. American men were dominant from the 800m to 100m, other countries used steroids to compete with American dominance. American men are still a force to recon with.
@@ronaldwesby4995 Perhaps,even though I've heard of that. It does not contradict the fact that there was a rumour that he used the growth hormone, which is equally bad.
I have never had an intention of lessening the value of American male or female athletes, but I used to practise athletics in Carl Louis's era,and I do remember very well what was going on on each side of the Iron Curtain.
@@ronaldwesby4995 So was Tyson Gay...
lewis absolutely did not use anabolic steroids. he never developed a physique like ben johnson.
Only the best
Good opening leg by Bailey, Burrell got ate up, Frankie also good and Lewis hard to tell. FF, while running strong, looked better than it really was because the USA team on his outside screwed up their exchange and FF was also in the inside lane, so he would be expected to make up that stagger.
yep. horrible 2nd change by USA.
Carl should know. He and that Santa Monica Track Club definitely weren’t scared of needles.
what drugs do you assert carl was using?
He had perfect form
Forget this RUMP RANGER!
The commentator was hating on Carl Lewis more than half of the time.
Frankie Fredricks! Unreal! Super
when i was a club coach i was told that he was likely on growth hormones as his jaw line had moved considerably over the years and had been analysed by IAAF the problem was testing was developing and he could pass tests
U r the lagend ...
WTF was Fredericks on .. omg .. turning on the turbo rocket boosters
Lewis the story- teller
With better handovers the time would have been damn good lol
His best time was 10.50 in 1997 (10.03 in 1996). Surely he did not train.
In track if you don't use it then you'll lose it!
Damn that is slow for him. Thanks for the info.
octopus magnificens he was 36. Well past his prime
or stopped the drug taking
Had bailey ran second leg the world record would have bin broken
Great athlète
History classic
With better handovers that time would have been excellent lol
He was actually drafted by the Dallas Cowboys.
Carl Lewis is the FASTEST MAN ON EARTH!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Juiced boy 😃
what kind of relay team was this ??
Great runner. Just don’t sing though. Haha
History proved Lewis right about US doping. Lewis was an awesome, clutch athlete that had class. Today's athletes owe Lewis gratitude because they benefit from the demands he made to meet directors.
Sir, you know your Sports History very well 👏🏾👍🏾
HE KNEW BECAUSE HE WAS AT SANTA MONICA AND DOING THE SAME AS THE REST
It seems faster to me than from now still in 38's. Looks like at that time 1hour =1hour 5min of today
Decent time for a scratch side.
Frankie's split time anyone????
I have to wonder when the Women's 100 m is gonna get eclipsed. That record has stood at 10.49 since 1988. Flo-Jo!!
Since steroids tests became frequent, you mean lol
Juiced Flo Jo yeah😃
Easy, it won't.
PED's + illegal wind.
That record is a #joke and should be wiped...
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
OSC Berlín would've beaten Wayde Van Niekerk by 1.19. dat boi phast
carl stepped on the line at the 3:25 mark...DQ
looking at it, it is certainly close but the footage is not clear enough to rule conclusively.
Carl Lewis up there got his hair like Kelly kapowsky from Saved by the bell.
announcer goofed the 3rd exchange, he was looking at the wrong leg
Man you could just hear the hatred in the commentary man if they were exposed to what athletes say now they would be flipping chairs.
USA 🇺🇸
feels weird seeing carl with hair
2:26 0:49 I guess this is the mid life crisis phase where they grow out some ridiculous hairstyle lol
Where's Ben Johnson
And he's never been seen again since.
His dad Grace Jones should be immensely proud of his career
2:45
Fredericks did 9.49
at 36 he was bigger and more muscular than he was 20
puffy like a beach dinghy
the most doped and protected athlete in the history of world sport.
Then why could he not beat #BenJohnson who was FAR less naturally talented than Carl?
If Carl was on drugs he'd have run 9.60 not his PB of 9.86.
You have no idea about this issue in this sport.
He stated in one of his interviews that he did not lift weights until his final year (1997) which explains the extra bulk.
1:46 he look like he was about to commit a crime!
Smoke me, but is Carl just about out of his lane off the bend?? Oops!?
I see why it was his last race them legs were not movin like in 88.
burrell got smoked by the guy on the 2nd leg outside of him. who was that?!
That was Vincent Henderson. He ran 10.00 that year, and recorded his PR of 9.95 in 1998.
Carl looked a little metro.
He's 100% now
Well he lives an "alternative" lifestyle
Donte Gates Does he?
these announcers are full of xlax if they think the US team wasn't as dirty as everyone else. Burrell, Greene and Lewis were on and off the drugs knowing when testing would be done. Explain their going from what looked to be 800 runner out of competition and NFL linebackers during the competitive season. I have it from at least 2 people directly involved in those late 90s early 2000s teams.
YNW Melly's daddy right there.
Why did you disagree with Carl he should know because was part of it and fingers were pointed at him a few time. Americans are never honest about these things
8h
A dream team today would be
Usain Bolt
Tyson Gay
Asafa Powell
Justin Gatlin
tyson always on roids
Replace Tyson with Blake
It would be Yohan instead of Asafa..Yohan Blake Second Fastest Ever
@@2KILLAVILLE 100% agree
Their bikini costumes 🤣🤣🤣
"I think that Carl was way out of line"...then the Balco scandal happens...shut up......Carl was apparently right
🤣
Carl is my idol....i also believe he is gay btw....his appearance here does little to dispel that myth lol
What a pointless race. This was just a big cheque for Lewis.
Michael Jackson beat it beat it beat it beat it!!!
Kmt the jamaican female team of shelly, Campbell,Simpson and jackson would have done it better
carl lewis all natrual. lol lol lol
Looks like carl was coming out of the closet here.
GIven that Lewis tested positive prior to 84, he's an absolute hypocrite
Biggest drug user in track and field
Usbritish are droging
He looks more feminine
Gay, gay Carl & his many opinions.
You know Carl could have shaved off .5 if he would have taken that silly wig off!
Jesse Owens is better than Lewis by so far.
So much juice
If most were juicing, then it was somewhat leveled. Lol
@@markfrank5937 great point
