Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00v9bs4 In front of a packed Los Angeles Coliseum Carl Lewis won the 1984 100m final with a sprint of beautiful efficiency. In this race Lewis appeared to defy the laws of sprinting. Especially the one that states that as you reach the line you slow down. Watch Lewis as he reaches the finishing line - he seems to be speeding up.

He has such an “elegance” to his running! A beautiful thing to watch!
I agree
Why is the BBC making programmes about drugs cheats we are suppose to be cleaning up the sport
The double quotes are out of place. Those would only be needed if you think he's actually *not* an elegant runner.
It's amazing what SED's can do for one's abilities. He's a fukin' cheater.
Carl Lewis really made sprinting an art form, beauty, grace, and strength, and in the 80's when I was in my teens, he was my hero, and inspired me to enter track and field in highschool, in the same events as he, the only difference was I didn't know what I was doing and I sucked
Yup. You're ignorant Dude.
Love him or hate him. You have to admit he was one the best ever!
He’s a sore loser. He got beat by Ben Johnson and made the iaaf go after him like he wasn’t doping as well. The guy is dick head. Even the great usain bolt said he has no respect for him.
@@abone2pick he was the one who was the world's best long jumper and sprinter at the same time, greatest athlete to ever live
Who would ever hate him!? He was my hero in the 80's never heard any haters then?
@@thestarter6407 he inspired me to join track and field in highschool, entering the same events as he, the only difference was I sucked
How many needles did it take? I wonder.
Carl Lewis was totally amazing and a flawless sprinter. His form was smooth and stress free.
I had NO IDEA how much of an athlete this dude was! Olympic runner and sprinter multiple times over. NBA draft pick AND NFL draft pick and he SUSTAINED this athleticism for a DECADE!!!! He’s a sport polymath.
Carl was smooth and never broke sprint position.
The Goat Carl Lewis is my all time favorite sprinter growing up. He was a smooth style sprinter ,Track was one of my sports I had participate in
He was amazing because in real-time it almost looked like a magic trick when he'd look like he got a boost and then jump in front of the other runners at the end.
Wow, what a graceful form. I have a new found appreciation for his running style.
@Curtis Liner forget the roids....i'm talking before that...naturally his form was beautiful ...i could care less if he was fast or not...I appreciate his running form...that's all haha
1984: The BEST year in decades and never did happen again and cannot ever happen: Carl Lewis The Legend - Michael Jackson "Thriller" - "The Terminator" Arnold - This was a GOLDEN ERA .. I miss my youth :'( SO fucking much!!
Top Fitness Yeah it would be but they were all cheating
Top Fitness you must be on drugs too
My birth also hahaha 84!!
Thriller was 1983 not 1984.
Carl Lewis fue es y será EL HIJO DEL VIENTO
Truly beautiful to watch. Appreciate his character now as a coach. He works his runners hard and with purpose.
Carl Lewis was a natural athlete from youth to his mid thirties. Extraordinary career.
4 consecutive long jump titles 84-96 amazing !
He was also a vegetarian :)
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!!!!!!!
P.O.P hold it down!!!!!
The halcyon days of track and field. Lewis was a supreme athlete. Michael Johnson's analysis here is so on point.
He was my hero as I was a child sitting in front of TV in East Berlin/ GDR. I always watched Olympic Games and world championships as an huge event.
Same!
u cant take nothing away from this man. he did what he did. and did it damn well
watching this guy always reallyy exemplified the higber limits of human capabilities. bordering on superhuman. once he got up that speed. like a drag racer he needed that much more space to decelerate. incredible. truly
he was a druggie just like the rest and protected by the US athletics when he was caught doping.
Excellent form, just so much fun to watch, it's like art in motion.
One of the greatest sprinters of all times.
The biggest hypocrite in the sport. Dirty as hell. Tested positive 3 times for banned substances and should have been prevented from partaking in Seoul games.
And none of this has anything to do with his form which is what I was talking about. Drugs or not he was an excellent sprinter. And let's be real THEY ARE ALL ON DRUGS! @@richardjohnson909
@@mstyles2667 He is a proven cheat and tried to justify it by saying hundreds of his US teammates also tested positive for banned substances. A hypocrite is a hypocrite is a hypocrite. We want to hear from heroes who are clean and not cheats. Many are on PEDs but not all, masking agents notwithstanding.
@@mstyles2667 yeah your right they were juiced from the eyes to toe nails
@@richardjohnson909
You're an clown; whether he was on drugs or not Carl was the game changer!
His form nd technique is whts lifted sprinting to glorified heights.
There would be no Usain Bolt or Asafa Powell if there was no Carl Lewis because their technique is only a copy and an advancement of what Carl embodied more then any other sprinter before or after him.
I'm a sprinter and coach nd the only reason I can teach kids into running faster is because of Carl absolute discipline in form nd technique tht I would dare to say he's t Arnold Schwarzenegger of sprinting! Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan to name a few who absolutely perfected their art form in motion. He as a sprinter for me is t only guy I can class in this pedigree.
Believe me whn I say, we of the now nd even later generations can only match their zeal, finesse, dexterity, symmetry, poise, performance, power, Grace, fluidity , tunnel Vision etc.
Not better it.
We may run faster, more records but only in testament. You have a good day; until you know how Usain Bolt runs a world record then you may have something to say to me or even here.
Otherwise don't denigrate the workload of all tht try to fine tune the human animal to its highest echelon of perfection in mind body nd spirit!
Who cheats but those who accuse others; just mind yours brother, we each take from each other wht we can. Arnold was using steroids in a game known for such practices yet there is only one Arnold! Thts wht we have here. Just appreciate or blog somewhere else.
We are not looking at it from your eyes; thank God, otherwise we'd miss the beauty in the beast..
Of which we all are! Including you...
Imagine a day in a U of H students life. As I finished practicing tennis, I would watch Lewis practice on the track, then head in to watch Phi Slama Jama practice! What a great time to be at U of H.
THANKS FOR POSTING THIS! I JUST LOVE HISTORY!
beautiful natural running
I admired him for years when I was a kid. Now I enjoy watching Usain Bolt.
Bolt got bolted to the ground. His last race was a disaster.
@@ericastier1646 and does that take away from what bolt has done? Yah didnt think so.
@@protipskiptoendofvideoandr286 You mean taking steroids to win ?
@@ericastier1646 and tell me where you got that info from
@@ericastier1646 hypocrite it was carl who got caught multiple times not bolt
carl lewis was my fave, I rememebr watching him as a kid thinking he moved like no one I ever saw and he was multi talented across different events.
To my mind also, the most beautiful action you will ever see. Not the greatest ever but perhaps the most gifted. Reminds me of Roger Federer - there are better athletes than Roger but technically, Roger is sublime.
Best track athlete in history. 😎
1984 was such an awesome year, it really was
I thought it was a book.
Carl was a head of his time. One of the all time greats
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.
He was gifted but he was also on roids
Drugs don’t turn a mule into a race horse but to say car Lewis was natural after all the people that have spoken out on him and the sport in general at that time is just ridiculous
@@pingshiyu He never tested positive for steroids. He tested positive for a stimulant (and had it covered up, which is shady, of course).
They don't know what they're taking about. The reason why he wins is simply holds his form. His stride is long. He just maintains his form. Most sprinters panic when someone is near them, causing them to lose form. Carl Lewis sticks to his stride pattern, which is a initself a great discipline.
The best exponents of this in history where Jesse Owens, Ed moses, John Akii Bua, Valery Borzov and Michael Johnson. ... All became Olympic champions.
Mark Gable In Seoul '88 he looked into Ben Johnson's lane about 3 times and ran out of his lane.
right and that's why he lost that race because he was not doing what he normally did
Bravo Sir. Totally on the money. Well said. Respect to you.
1:57 ..... this guy kinda just says what you're saying
I thought michael Johnson was one of the men talking
Aesthetically beautiful, such grace, technically perfect. He danced. He floated.
If you were to mould the perfect athlete, Carl Lewis would be it.
The fact that his ego and willingness to subjugate himself to the market oriented corporate lunacy of the time… and all of the evils that came with it (1988 being the nadir) perfectly illustrates just how beautiful and flawed human beings are.
My Favorite ever Sprinter
Carl Lewis is the most graceful runner. It is poetry in action!
one of the greatest athletes of all time
Doper
@@lymehausdj8 Why people think every track athlete is a doper? And not in other sports.
@@hemantks4353 cause other sports actually have enough money to cover up the failed tests. If LeBron James or Christians Ronaldo were to be test positive it would never be released publicly before it’s covered up. Most track athletes will rather serve a suspension than pay up , giving the sport and its athletes a dirty reputation.
poetry in motion.
“And the rockets.... red fleeee-“
Efficiency seems to be the top ingredient for the success in any physical discipline, even specialized ones like piano playing.
And stimulants! He is as great as anyone else during that time. In 2003, Lewis admitted that he had failed three tests for stimulants in 1988 and that Olympic executives had looked the other way.
The greatest track & field athlete in history and it is not even close.
Johnson and Lewis, most beautiful sprinters ever
A beautiful finisher
There was a time when Michael Johnson would have never said a kind word about Carl Lewis, as the two did not like each other at all when they were young competing rivals. It's nice to see the maturity of age put those bitter feelings to rest so they can acknowledge each other's respective greatness at what they did.
When were they rivals? MJ was on top as Carl was exiting. Although I do agree there was some disdain present.
The fact that usain bolt said he has no respect for car Lewis should help you understand why mj never had anything nice to say about him. Carl Lewis is a hardcore narcissist .
Gracious. Flawless technique.
Love the voice over the vid
Now that`s a real athlete.
The Greatest Track & Field Athlete to ever lived.
Next talk about what a great singer he is too!
Stop lol
Talk about clean form. Michael Johnson and Carl Lewis are prime examples of that!
SILKY SMOOTH THAT'S ALL IT IS TO IT.
The greatest athlete of the World is Carl Lewis sir i love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Smooth runner!My dude!
Good work
Best of All time
What a weapon he has
Carl Lewis is classic fluid lovely runner❤❤❤❤❤❤
He is a sprinter with great technic. His start was little bit slow but he pick up in stride. But 80s to 90s era was full of dropping. In this we also mis Ben Johnson .🏃🎉💐
He was beatting Sugar Ray in the first part, that's pretty good
I still consider him to be the best sprinter ever
“We’ll gotdamn carl Lewis where you going “
Most of his efforts was at the end of the race
It really did look like he was trotting and then turned the afterburners on... like 1st half of the race he was a deer, and 2nd half he was cheetah 😂
The most naturally gifted athlete of all time!
Usain bolt
@@kryptonianstrength8461 - Nah! Bolt just had better PEDs!
@@larey12 no proof , cant be used against him
@@kryptonianstrength8461 - Give it time! All will be revealed.
@@larey12 Then you shoullg give it time aswell and dont comment about that shit then
the greatest ever, jesse number 2
his style coming from behind and winning easily i wolud say pulling sryrength
they dont give him his due as one of the best sprinters if not one of the best track and field long jump
We call that in street racing he got them on the big end.
Can the BBC publish the full documentary? As well as the 1500?

What do you think of my ranking? Any notable sprinters you think I forgot to mention? Any sprinter that shouldn't be on the list?
The list is purely based on accomplishment and results. It doesn't take into account what you did outside the sport
He is master of finisher coz he is long jump athlete. He combine sprint and jump.
I agree the man had it even when he thought he lost a Ben Johnson and later figured out he actually really won.
Ohh same to noah Lyles.. Powerful finisher
Yes I'm looking him as the future of 100m and a healthy degrass
The Prince of sprinting. Bolt assumed his crown. Both were/are magnificent, whatever people say.
Don’t even compare him to bolt. Not on the same level
What are they talking about. ???
Carl Lewis was actually going faster and faster towards the end. It was just that it took him awhile to reach top cruising speed. There's no great science or mystery about it. He was tall for a sprinter over 6ft. A shorter sprinter normally would explode from the blocks and would try to hold on until the end while at the same time Carl Lewis would be reaching a top speed at around 70 metres and maintaining towards the finishing line.
In-fact, it was as if he was running 120. metres.
Does anyone know where I can watch this full documentary? I see it has been removed from UA-cam
Wow!!!!
THE BEST FORM OF ANY RUNNER IN HISTORY.
The Greatest Track and Field Athlete of All Time
Imagine if he had a start like how the other guy in red started....record breaker!!
druggs
Carl Lewis is the pure speed; the others athlete depend by the training, Carl Lewis seem to be in tune with the nature.
does anyone know the song of this video
he doesnt get a start but he pulls it out in the end thats carl
The law of sprinting says as you reach the finish line you must slow down. Well, Bolt slowed down and ran 9.58s. Could have been below 9.50!
He couldve ran sub 19 200 but he ran like a dumbass
He did not slow down and ran a 9.58 he slowed down when he ran a 9.69
Higher being the oprative word. X
Where can I watch the 100m.and 1500m episodes?
that sucker waving the flag of the people that hate him
Rip Big Tex 💔
He Ran like A Streamlined Train
I am for sportsman ship but u and ur kind shoulder
dopper
no spell check! Just stressing the ruuummmers lol
Everyone was on drugs but Ben Johnson, the Canadian, was the one who got sacrificed. Lewis, like Bolt was the golden boy who couldn't be touched. Money corrupts.
Song at beginning please
same level,with michal jordan,roger federer,and other best of best
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
*Lionel Messi*
Nope. Car Lewis will never be loved like them and for obvious reasons
We all fast from Willingboro check the stats I ran from 90 to 96💪🏾
Yea but he doesn't even claim that he from boro I can't mess with him he a sellout they name the football stadium after him and he doesn't even acknowledge us
Faster, Higher, Stronger, More juiced
he would be a low 9.7 sprinter today without any doubt
9.5
Daniel Maretic yep
@@efisgpr 9.5 my ass!
Bolt is the GOAT!!!
Daniel Maretic lol
Why? We must stop looking back. The game moved on.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh can you see_carl Lewis
Anyone know the music?
I’m Related to him
Ha ha haaaaa, I was there.
In 1982 Carl Lewis Jumped over 9 meters some 30 feet 2 inches without a doubt,It was recorded and Verify by Sports commentators and Fans .The video is on UA-cam.I suspect Racist Track Official who knew the jump was over 9 meters but hated Lewis.And didn't want a legitimate record to Arguably the single greatest sports achievement up there with Bolts be 9.58 .
Link to the video please
