  • Holy crap! Jamaica was 2nd???? Back in 1984? behind world record usa? Y do people even give Jamaica a hard time in the sprints? Its been a long time coming

  • Classic! ; )

  • Perfect year for Carl Lewis to win 4 golds. Who knows what would have happened if the eastern bloc countries (aside from Romania) would not have boycotted...

  • omg the trilller theme sux

  • @jivetome

    I don't remember which meet it was, but the most impressive relay run I've seen from King Carl was when he got the baton NOT IN THE LEAD and he ran the guy down from behind and got the Victory. Much the same as Evelyn Ashford did in the '88 Olympics womens 4x100m relay.

  • Calvin Smith who ran the 3rd leg could have beaten Lewis in the final, if he wasn't injured in the olympic qualifiers.

  • Jamaica and USA always going at it. LOL! now Jamaica is kicking their asses!

  • As much as I hate Carl Lewis, that was probably one of the most impressive relay runs I've ever seen in my life. I can't even measure how large that lead was by the time Lewis was at the line.
