End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | Post Edited: 18.10.2020 @ 12:52 PM by Mikeneto Carl Lewis is the most exciting athletics star. Ups and downs plus controversy.Bolt just won all his races. Carl Lewis won 4 gold's in his first Olympics equalling Jesse Owens. Was part of the most famous drug scandal race. Greatest long jump comp ever 4 Olympic long jump titles on the bounce A 100m wr in 1991 that was unexpected. He is a bit weird. But pure talent. I really don't know how there isn't a movie on him. He is the Muhammad Ali of Athletics...Bolt is like Floyd Mayweather. | ||

 A member for 10 years and still no mouldy peanuts Member 1252, 4474 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 215485.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Jonathan Edwards was a special athlete. Weird to think he is 54. Almost as weird to think he has held the triple jump record since 1995. When Michael Johnson described Usain Bolt as a once in a generation athlete, he hit the nail on the head. High praise from an absolute nebuchadnezzar of a runner. | ||
