Love this guy, God Given Talent. Carl Lewis will NEVER be stopped, those Famous Words,, God Given Talent. God continue to bless you sir, in Jesus name.
Want to walk with The Lord ??? Believe the FULL WORD OF GOD (Matthew 4:4.) The Bridegroom who is the “WORD” (John 1:1 + 14) will marry a “WORD” Bride, NOT a denominational bride. Due to men (down the last 2,000 years) adding to and subtracting from the Word of God, (often due to ignorance) the pure Word of God as the Apostles knew it had to be “RESTORED”. The Lord Jesus Christ must REMAIN in Heaven until the times of RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS, Acts 3:20 + 21. 20. And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21. Whom the heaven must receive until the times of RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. The word “RESTITUTION” means “RESTORE.” The Lord stated that He would send HIS END TIME PROPHET to “RESTORE” the Word of God, as the Apostles knew it. Matthew 17:11. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and RESTORE ALL THINGS. The Lord stated that He would send His End Time Prophet in THIS DAY. Malachi 4:5. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet BEFORE the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. This Elijah prophet comes BEFORE, “The coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord,” which happens in THIS DAY. To recieve the Lord we MUST receive the MESSENGER who the Lord sends as the messenger is given the necessary understanding of the Word of God: John 13:20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth WHOMSOEVER I SEND receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. We are now living in the last days, God has kept His word and sent His prophet, thereby “RESTORING” His word to His Bride. God has raised the dead on FIVE occasions through HIS CHOSEN VESSEL. God was photographed SIX times, (Veiled in the form of the Pillar of Fire) with HIS CHOSEN VESSEL. www.williambranhamstorehouse.com/pdf_downloads/the%20supernatural%20halo%20photograph.pdf The, “Elijah anointing,” (Concerning the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ) is used “TWICE” at each “Coming of the Lord.” John the Baptist`s ministry fulfilled Isaiah`s prophecy: Matthew 3:3. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John, “Prepared the way for the Lord,” John did NOT “Restore anything,” as that which would need to be restored, (The full understanding of the whole Bible,) had not yet been given. th-cam.com/video/0Ax-wN1lpn4/w-d-xo.html

If he did, he would have been disqualified. Because he would have "cut the corner" so to speak. But he didn't. It was close, but he stayed in his lane.
As a track and field runner in high school, I too can agree with the Commentators statements that Carl Lewis' running is a beautiful thing to watch. He has a great technique, or style, or form. There are only 3 runners in Olympic history who I've enjoyed watching, Jesse Owens, Michael Johnson and Carl Lewis. Absolutely LOVE the way these gentlemen RUN. For Women, it is Gail, FLo, and 3 others whose names I always forget..
It's a question of how deep into the annals of U.S. women's track and field athletes you choose to go. Wilma Rudolph, triple Olympic champion in 1960 Games in Rome (100m 200m, 4x100), Wyomia Tyus, the first sprinter male or female to defend her 100m title (1964, 1968), or Evelyn Ashford, three time Olympian, former 100m WR holder and four time champion (100m, 3x sprint relay champion) were among the first. Or you can fast forward to Allyson Felix, Carmelita Jeter and Lauryn Williams. All three ladies are World and Olympic champions. Or you could go outside U.S. borders where our greatest sprint rivals for both men and women are the Jamaican team. Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce, Veronica Campbell-Brown and Elaine Thompson are World and Olympic sprint champions and are also among the best to ever do it. It's bound to be one of those names.

"It's ridiculous, "Lewis said. "Who cares? I did 18 years of track and field and I've been retired for five years, and they're still talking about me, so I guess I still have it."
Carl is beautiful to watch but only after first 10 meters since he has his usual slow vertical start. He sorta starts off looking like Roseanne Barr in the beginning and then winds up looking like Halle Berry towards the end.
Ben Johnson said that Kirk Baptiste stopped pressing towards the end to let Carl win. You can see him gaining speed between 120-150 and then slowing down all of a sudden.
I was racing with them that day.Nobody can see me because I was fast.I'm racing in the lane near Carl.I left all of them far,far behind because I'm the flash!!!

@@wildoutrudeboy he was not contrite because the failed tests were not at all performance enhancing.. and it was proved they were not..
Very good answers to those questions. I'm impressed.
Hello, do you have the NBC version of the men's 200m semifinals at the London Olympics😊
The best always..
Wow! I didn't realize Lewis ran sub 20. 19.80 into a 1.00 headwin is fantastic! Lewis truly is one of the great ones
Also, I believe he’s the first athlete to break 9.80 in any conditions! 9.78 at the Seoul Olympic Triais (Wind Aided Obviously)
Grande Pietro
How come the Americans had different size numbers pinned to their vests?
1.2.3. American.
SWEEP!
Mennea no doping ! Lewis yes.
Yo
No one is touching that. USA 🇺🇸 POWER.
I would like to see again this type of EXCELLENCE again with America track and field.
Impressive run into a headwind. C.Lewis would have broken the world record with a better lane.
At the 3:05 and 5:44 it seems as if Lewis stepped into the inside lane. If so, shouldn't he have been disqualified?
did it affect the runner in that lane?
If he did, he would have been disqualified. Because he would have "cut the corner" so to speak. But he didn't. It was close, but he stayed in his lane.
The man clearly won the race. Damn give the man his credit and stop trying to re-write history. History has been made and you can't change it.
Where’s Calvin Smith?
He didn’t make the team for the 100 or 200, but he did run a great bend in the 4x100m final when the US broke the world record in the same games!
