[@huntermaher8102]

The greatest to ever do it

[@tarheelking2515]

Carl lewis singing the national anthem was so awful in 1993 it made charlie steiner laugh😂

[@artcaz7265]

i understand where the "pointing finger" of the seoul Final comes from now.... ;)

[@arealmench]

Those paper numbers that they wear create some drag.

[@pavelhykl5063]

and what about 1988 LJ trials - Lewis vs. Myricks? :)

[@Faustin-ju5dx]

that first semi was loaded if it were to be ran 4 years later

[@jimmuchmore5854]

Unfortunately, I don’t think Calvin Smith’s semi was shown on tv.

[@octopusmagnificens]

Fantastic! Do you have the other semi with Calvin Smith?

[@rc2869]

Failed drugs test and still went to Seoul

[@danishskiwarehouse]

Him and Denis Mitchell. They tested positive for the same stimulant, presumably as a way of combatting Ben Johnson’s extraordinary starts

[@martifrey3357]

@@danishskiwarehouse the funny thing is DeLoach and a few others tested also for the same 3 substances and Deloach was a 200m runner. They were using those stimulants to mask other serious PEDs

[@Kelvinllovejr]

Best shape of your life huh Ben?

[@cornellstephenson2946]

Nice, do you have the women's semifinals? I've always wanted to see FloJo's 10.70

[@jimmuchmore5854]

They only showed the Quarter Final (10.49) and the Final (10.61) on television. Here is the whole broadcast of the women's 100m from 1988: studio.kzbin.info9CMM2lQDMDI/edit

[@pavelhykl5063]

Great!!! :)

[@mattrichardson1380]

He ran faster than Ben Johnson in Seoul 🤔

[@barath4545]

+5.2 m/s so way over the legal limit

[@martifrey3357]

if Ben had run through in Seoul and assisted with a 5.2 tailwind he would have clocked at 9.52-9.53

[@canadaqbank]

Ben Johnson is the G.O.A.T.

[@philipsanders9192]
