watch the Jamaican world record 3rd leg.

@@SodaPopinksi Yeah Blake was a beast

@@SodaPopinksi watch Calvin Smith LA 1984

@@SodaPopinksi this was going to be my response.

Calvin Smith 3rd Leg 1984 Olympics 4X100.

To me he always looked like a wooden giraffe when running. 😂

The original green machine

never really trusted mitchell, a bit too cocky

when mitchell hands the baton off and extends his arms in celebration, if he makes contact with the other runners, usa dq!

i keep replaying his part of the race....his legs were rolling!

Can never forget Denis Mitchel yelling at King Cal , " You better RUN man , the Cubans are coming" and Carl replies , |"Yeah , yeah " as he tears away for the gold....

+J Oluoch He actually said "i would love to see them try""" LOL

He knew the race was over. I never tire of seeing his reaction.

Dennis Mitchell is perhaps the greatest "turn" runner ever!

He almost obstructed athletes in opposite lanes.

Say it again!

@@sergiocintas5158 another bitter moment for you

Yeah that dude TOOK OFF

But also good they had Carl at the end because he was moving away and away more and more to wards the end and of course our Dennis Mitchell was amazingly fast

Ben cleaned his clock

Pick the best among Carter Frater Blake and Bolt. They smashed world record twice.

Chidi imoh was the best in Africa

Humble? See other races

+Candi D yes! that was a great moment! gave me chills!

i agree but the hands offs were just good, they were excellent. Almost flawless.

Totally Agree ☺

+Candi D LOL, hell yea that was good

Candi D right before I read your blog I was thinking about how Carl Lewis changes the Baton from his left hand to the right hand and after he gets it from Dennis Mitchell and how smoothly he does it do you know this also that every time Lewis anchors a relay he increases the lead

Lewis was very different from Bolt...nowhere near as good at 100m but also an outstanding long jumper,

YOiAmMiiKe Carl came first. Bolt is a Carl lewis of his time.

YOiAmMiiKe correction bolt is the Carl Lewis of his time

USA DRUG USER

+dave smith what an ignorant response. smh You people are so salty and envious! The Olympic drug users were the Germans and Russians. lol

@@patricksweeney5308 Lewis was the best Olympian ever…with FloJo a close second.

+Kuro Neko He was a great final leg for the 4 x 1. Would have loved to see him against Bolt on the anchor. Lewis did the long jump too so didn't fully train for sprints.

+Kantrice Dorsey ....I had to watch it again...Dennis burned up that corner!

+Kantrice Dorsey Did you see him? His feet looked like they were barely touching the ground.

Stunning to watch....I love relays......

And kept on breaking each other 100 m record.

Carl Lewis was great, but he wasn't humble!

@@archiewoosung5062 He used to pretend he was

Naija oooo

Fantastic 4 was the best.

jsn23nc yes , until the Jamaican awesome foursome showed the world that there is a new all time greatest relay team.

No drugs? Or not tested?

I heard the braces in his mouth were caused by abnormal jaw growth...from steroids.

@@georgemallory797 From growth hormone actually. He's just another cheater, corporations wont allow the athletes they endorse get caught. Corporation pay the IOC to look the other way. (cough) Nike

Crazy thing is back then I hated Carl Lewis, but I still applauded him, thinking this would be his last gold medal. I was wrong!

Thank you!!!

I never commented on Armstrong , this was about Carl Lewis , different sports dfferent people . We know what Armstrong took , we don't have facts that Carl took banned substances and until you can specify and show us what you imagine he took, you need to just hold your peace and accept Carl was the great champion he was.

Hans Wurst With all due respects Mr. Hans , it is guys like you who spread false information purporting to be in the know yet you are not. FACT - Carl Lewis was at no time tested positive for any banned substance , if you disagree give us dates , where and WHAT he tested positive for . Surely are you telling us the IAAF is so compromised it would allow a guy who is a known drug user to compete ? and so why didn't they also allow Ben Johnson if that's the rationale ? Armstrong used steroids mostly in Tour de France where he only had to deal with ONE LAB that does all the testing for that competition. Carl Lewis on the other hand competed in over ten countries where different labs often tested him . If you had some rudimentary knowledge on steroid use , you'd know that the body of a steroid user changes drastically with use , take a look at Ben Johnson in LA84 then compare his frame in 88 and you get what am saying. You could also observe Linford Christie b4 and after then check Carl , his body is basically the same in 84 all through to 92 . Please stop jumping into some bandwagons that are just geared to assassinate characters.

You can believe what you want Mr. Hurst . NOt everyone who uses steroids becomes a world beater , steroids do not add to your God given talent so it's perfectly possible a juiced athlete could be beaten hands down by a clean one. So are you telling me even Usain Bolt is on the juice ??? Carl Lewis NEVER admitted any ILLEGAL drug use . The so called failed drug tests by US athletes in 84 was merely an ALLEGATION , call me naive or whatever but THAT is the FACT. Could never be proved in any court of law could it ? Lots of guys merely talk to gain attention and whip up a controversy to feel relevant . Where it could be proved like the Marion Jones case , it was and who tells you one can not compete in 4 events and win unless juiced ? So was Jesse Owens juiced ? Was Daley Thompson juiced ? If you can't offer us some PROOF, just accept and shut up...

With all due respects Mr. Hans , we will just have to agree to disagree on this one . Checked out your so called "proof" and sorry it proves NOTHING. Failing a drug test does NOT mean STEROID use , you can fail a test for using a simple over the counter cold remedy with say ephedrine or even the thousands of readily available food supplements commonly used but contain small degrees of substances banned not for their performance enhancement properties if any. Carl was a victim of such n because the substances found in his blood did not give him any performance advantage, the authorities saw it fit to allow him to compete . He did not use STEROIDS like some of the other guys did and that's my point. Show me where him or anyone PROVES he used ANABOLIC STEROIDS ..... I rest my case..

greatest clear athlete ?

And Bolt is way better in sprinters than Lewis. He dominated longer, he dominate more, he was way more dominant in the 200, and better even in the 100. Carl has a case to be better overall since he also dominated the long jump for 15 years in addition to being one of the best ever sprinters, super hard to do, but in just sprinting Bolt is way ahead.

You are stupid

@@tonywilson8645 of course, no doubt about that. Bolt was by far the best sprinter of all time!

I agree Lewis just puts on the afterburners and is in another gear.....

@@thawedcavebear so Carl ran 100 meters in 8.85 seconds? Wow!!

@@jsmith469 Well, with the running start you get on a 4x100 relay leg--not eligible for the record
