1988 Olympics 100m Semifinal 1, Seoul, South Korea

Carl Lewis has the most graceful way of running. A true delight to see him run away! He just had an extra turbo acceleration around the 50 meters!

Say what you want about Carl Lewis but that man form and technique is absolutely flawless the best technique ever

[@donatooliveiradiamond295]

I agree

[@brianjackson5732]

Not often you can speak of beauty and grace while talking about a dominate male athlete. But here it applies!

His steps became massive in the last 10m

Carl lewis had a better form than Usain Bolt.

What a Great time compares to these Days

[@KmKryptonian]

What? Lmao

[@judrayton]

I wonder if the uniforms the athletes wore years ago slowed them down a bit. Present runners wear what appears to be Spandex that reduces wind drag. Just a thought.

[@gabesegun7966]

Although intangible factor but maybe significant

[@KmKryptonian]

Not much, if any at all. Trayvon bromell wears loose fit kits like the ones shown here, Jamaica has consistently wore Loose fit kit’s with simple compression shorts. Look at the Daegu 2011-present. Purely loose fit for Jamaica’s. The change in performance is negligible.

[@cookiemonsteryummyyumz]

I'm pretty sure it would, but by how much we wouldn't know. It's very hard to find out since many other equipment have changed such as the running spikes and track surfaces. Also advancements in biomechanical studies which leads to improved coaching would contribute to performance gains as well.

[@cookiemonsteryummyyumz]

True, bolt never wore very tight fitting spandex track kits during his best days.

Carl is the finer

[@mar0k]

Lewis always had a slower start and used to pull out in the second half of the race. Try to imagine what would it be if he had better first halves too..

[@WithBACON]

That's essentially what Bolt was, although Bolt had a slightly higher top speed and better speed-endurance too.

[@turboplazz]

look at what Ben Johnson did to Carl the Fraud Lewis . What a load of garbage lewis is.

[@Kenny-mu2xb]

@turboplazz 9 Olympic gold medals is garbage?

[@dukedune5717]

@@WithBACON No..Bo;lt was known for a quick start.

[@WithBACON]

@@dukedune5717 I disagree. It was unique for his height, and typically kept him with the field through the first 30-40 meters, but his top speed and speed endurance were what created large victory margins at his peak and victory margins when he was not at his best.

[@brianchristopher4666]

Say it again.. 40 yd (nfl combine ) quickness vs 100m top end speed are not the same thing
