In my opinion Edwin Moses should have been voted Athlete Of The Decade when Casius Clay won it. Edwin didn't lose a race for almost ten years...and when he did he raced the man who beat him one last time and beat him, then he hung up his running shoes. I'm kinda surprised that more African Americans don't know about him. Mr. Moses in my book you were the Athlete Of The Decade Oh I failed to mention Edwin attended Moorehouse college on an Academic scholarship, not an Athletic one and he majored in Physics. At the time he was in college he had to train at a local high school because there was no track to train on at Moorehouse at that particular time. Just thought I would throw that in. I have a lot of respect for this man!
Edwin Moses still won the bronze medal in 1988 Seoul Olympics. Unfortunately, He was affected by the USA olympic boycott in 1980 and He was deprived a possible gold medal.
Yes, Sheng Yu. You are right, but I did a comentary about Edwin Moses. Soviet Union dominated Gymnastics in that time and had good swimmers, like Salnikov, Zabolotnov, Zhulpa, Sidorenko, Belokon, Volkova, Dendeberova, but USA still was the dominant force in men's swimming. Relating to Gymnastics, Korolev, Bilozertchev and Artemov could win several medals in Los Angeles. In the women's side, Yurtchenko, Shushunova and Mostepanova were Soviet hopes to win medals in 1984 olympics.
you can say that to pretty much to every Soviet swimmer/gymnast in 1984.. where the soviet actually dominated Swimming/gymnastics back then..its not just america that was affected....the War was pretty bad for every athlete in those countries.
There has never been a more humble man or an outstanding athlete moreso than Edwin Moses.We could all take a lesson and make this world a lot better by doing so.Thank you Edwin Moses for setting the bar for everyone...your fans...we are still watching you buddy!

The 400m hurdles is regarded as the most difficult track event. Moses makes it look effortless!
Edwin's running form is so fluid and I like how he snaps his lead leg down after going over a hurdle.
deprived of a 3rd Olympic gold more like. He should have won 3 golds.
Back when the days were good!! Also got a degree in physics from Morehouse College back around the ‘76 games. What a time that was. So great!!!

sovurss : If I'm not mistaken, the '88 Games is where he mistakenly went to the 1st place position on the medal podium by sheer habit.
Just saw an interview where he said during his prime he could kick a basketball rim and land on his feet.
Le plus grand sur cette distance à jamais dans la légende ❤
