Watched this 100s of times -- especially after hearing Leroy tell the Tellez story where Carl disappeared with him and returned with a much-improved start.
Lewis looks around to see that he is in the lead and then pulls up before the finish. He did that in a few races. I wonder what his fastest times could have been if he finished hard all the time.
Lewis went by Christie easily. In the final when he ran a legal 9.86 WR he had a much harder time getting by everyone which he barely did. He looked better in this heat just floating along the track.
fun fact, Carl NEVER broke 10 seconds without a trailing wind. he ran a 10.00 in 1981 with 0.0 wind and his final PB of that 9.86 represents an improvement of just 0.06s over his entire career of 15 years. (when converted for wind) So if anyone suggests he was on PEDs, then if he was, they were not worth it. BJ managed to improve a whopping 0.5s in 2 years.

Carl Lewis would make 9"75 today. At least. He could go under 9"80 thirty years ago, but his attitude to compete in three different event, limited, in my opinion, the quality of the performance in each event. He could go under 9"80 and 19"60 and jump over 9 m. That's for sure!
9.80s is very fast even by today's standards even though it was achieved under windy conditions Lewis wasn't a great starter like Bolt taller athlete tend to be slow starters compared to shorter ones however Lewis's stride length and his top end speed is what gave him the edge over his rivals

That 200 meter race was at the US championships 1983. It was when he was realizing that he was beating his somewhat hated long jump rival Larry Myrics, that Carl - I did a radio interview with him, in February 1988, in Denmark - start slowing down intentionally minimum 20 meters, if not almost 30 m BEFORE the finish line!

@@patricksweeney5308 Yes, and Carl did a best 10m split in this race. 12.50m/s even faster than Usain Bolt. You could search "biomechanical report - Barrunning" with google. it's a pdf file by IAAF.
Lewis was faster and smoother than any other runner in the history , Bolt included. The Lewis of the 1983 trained with the same techniques of today should beat any record in the 100 mt or 200 mt.
please check facts before making ridiculous statements like this. google it first. Bolt was faster in every phase of the race- and by a considerable margin. Bolt even ran 9.7x into head winds.. smoothness is subjective.
It's hard to argue that Lewis was loading up when his body did not show it, unlike obviously dirty Ben Johnson who bulked up severely overnight and dropped his times way too fast.
too bad Carl didnt push it. this was his fastest ever. I hate it when the top-of-the elite ease-up at the end, Bolt did this too. You never know if you're gonna get another chance to be fastest.
I hear you but this was a quarter final race bolt did it in the finals. I think that bolt was so young and so excited to win so big he made that mistake
Lewis was so good i an sure he was fastest than bolt in this day. In thus run kewis stop in 70 m. If he run in full power the result was anazing maby 9.6
You have to save some for the finals. Running the fastest time in the rounds doesn't earn you a medal. Having said that, Carl could have had the 200m record if he didn't slow up. But he was more concerned about winning than the times. Still he was the greatest.
I used to like Carl Lewis. He dominated the 100 and 200 metres for a decade, but I didn’t like him always bitching about his main competitors, especially Ben Johnson, accusing or insinuating they were doping when he was doing exactly the same with the backing of the US Olympic Committee. Funny how he never tested positive, but nearly everyone else did at some point or other. Still feel Johnson was set up by someone from the US team as he should have been clean by the time of the race in Seoul.
So, you think a testing positive once for a remedy against cold (Carl Lewis) is the same as testing positive for steroids taken over 7 years (Ben Johnson)? You're NOT thinking!
@@johnnwako2488 Carl Lewis was taking more than just unprescribed cold remedies and Johnson was experienced enough to know how long before a race he needed to stop taking steroids to ensure he tested clean. Not saying it's right, just that I think there is more to the story than meets the eye. Do you know about what the US Olympic team was doing then to ensure top athletes didn't test positive. Not as bad as the East Germans in the 70's or the Russians more recently, but still illegal and many of it's athletes benefitted from it.
Dsr, completely agree, one of the best comments on here. Lewis was protected and Johnson the fall guy. Pretty much all of them were doping in this era.
All do respect but, no he wasn't. None of that is substantiated(doing the exact same thing). Carl and Ben at the 1984 Olympics 100m- Carl 9.99 vs Ben 10.22 ......fast forward to1988 Olympic 100m- Carl 9.92 vs Ben 9.79. If they were doing the same thing, the results were sure not the same. Also, as much as Carl use to rub people(the media/Olympic committee/other athletes) the wrong way, they were itching to catch him at something. Hence the positive test for pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine back in 1988......all over the counter substances found in cough and nasal decongestion medicine. So in other words, he was treating a cold, not taking steroids'. Carl was definitely a snitch, but not a cheater. Just because others are testing positive like Ben, doesn't mean everyone was guilty. If we're going with that logic, then Usain Bolt was definitely cheating(5 to 6 of his teammates were caught).
This time was ran wit 4,3 wind in favour. So it's not 9,80!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It'd be a 10.00 with a legal wind (2,00). Considering Lewis began to decelarate at 90 meters we could say he would've ran 9.93-9-95 if he'd push to the limit
When I knew Carl admit took drugs, I felt his running from very ridiculous suddenly, ha ha...the association should be recover his gold that is right thing.
You do understand what drugs Carl tested positive for, I hope. There are some people out there who pretend to equate inadvertently testing positive for nasal decongestants with deliberate use of anabolic steroids. Not exactly identical "offenses".
Vegan diet take less measure of testosterones measures, like protien intakes so more ROOM for stimulant drugs intake thats within a legal measures(drug testing) normal athletes EATS, So please try to be more scientific about this things

Not saying it's right, just that I think there is more to the story than meets the eye. Do you know about what the US Olympic team was doing then to ensure top athletes didn't test positive. Not as bad as the East Germans in the 70's or the Russians more recently, but still illegal and many of it's athletes benefitted from it.
Dsr, completely agree, one of the best comments on here. Lewis was protected and Johnson the fall guy. Pretty much all of them were doping in this era.
All do respect but, no he wasn't. None of that is substantiated(doing the exact same thing). Carl and Ben at the 1984 Olympics 100m- Carl 9.99 vs Ben 10.22 ......fast forward to1988 Olympic 100m- Carl 9.92 vs Ben 9.79. If they were doing the same thing, the results were sure not the same.
Also, as much as Carl use to rub people(the media/Olympic committee/other athletes) the wrong way, they were itching to catch him at something. Hence the positive test for pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine back in 1988......all over the counter substances found in cough and nasal decongestion medicine. So in other words, he was treating a cold, not taking steroids'. Carl was definitely a snitch, but not a cheater. Just because others are testing positive like Ben, doesn't mean everyone was guilty. If we're going with that logic, then Usain Bolt was definitely cheating(5 to 6 of his teammates were caught).

Good morning global
En serio fue una falsa salida, le puse super camara lenta y otros incluso de mueven antes!!!
Carl during low fat strictly plant based eating regime 89'-93' .
What a joke 🤣 good sheep...
100% true
@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj You doth protest too much
@Cheetah Car They all were. He ran fastest juiced.
This time was ran wit 4,3 wind in favour. So it's not 9,80!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It'd be a 10.00 with a legal wind (2,00). Considering Lewis began to decelarate at 90 meters we could say he would've ran 9.93-9-95 if he'd push to the limit
wrong. convert to 2 m/s and its a difference of 0.14. so a 9.94. convert to zero wind and its a 10.06. google it.
Now how Lewis makes 9.8??? When Ben Johnson acchieved 9.83 he was jealous and a good carrier was destroyed.
a guy who was running 10.22 then runs 9.79 2 years later. he had a right to be annoyed.
4.3+ Jesus fuck
He look in slow motion he ran 9.50 if he didn't slow down
He might have run 9.45 if he wanted to, but it would mean nothing since 4.3 winds pushed him there.
Seis milecimas menos
この9.80w陸上知らない人はなんで笑ってるの？ってなるよね
parando le clavo 9.80, facil iva a cerrar 9.65

Mr Carl “I would never take drug” Lewis. 😂 his whole life was a lie. Pathetic
When I knew Carl admit took drugs, I felt his running from very ridiculous suddenly, ha ha...the association should be recover his gold that is right thing.
You do understand what drugs Carl tested positive for, I hope. There are some people out there who pretend to equate inadvertently testing positive for nasal decongestants with deliberate use of anabolic steroids. Not exactly identical "offenses".
Thanks for say the truth
I didn't know carl took drugs, after calling out Ben Johnson. Carl mind worse than Corona
@@WithBACON This tells us how stupid those people you believe there's no difference are!
@@WithBACON Exactly. And the thing that Lewis tested positive for isn't even on the banned list nowadays.
Vegan diet take less measure of testosterones measures, like protien intakes so more ROOM for stimulant drugs intake thats within a legal measures(drug testing) normal athletes EATS, So please try to be more scientific about this things
Most of them are cheats
He was a cheater with no doubt
Go vegan!
