Carl Lewis
So he had just the
time to beat Powell for three centimeters (but with a set of jumps rather better) and win 4x100
relay achieving the 8th gold medal in the Olympic games.Then the last years before the
Olympic games of Atlanta showed his poorest figures of the career. At Stuttgart he's third in
200 m and 4th in 100 m (he lost, in that season, all the races on 100 m). His apparitions are
few and an injury, in 1995, avoided to get a strong defeat at Goeteborg. Meanwhile he's
protagonist of successful spots for Pirelli and Citroen. Carl didn't want to effort his body in
order to save it for the Olympic games of 1996. But, like four years before, he got injured in
100 m and failed the qualification. In the 200 meters he didn't show a good form. So, for
another time, his Olympic games concerned only long jump. In the last competition before the
games he jumped only 8,00 m in an awful race and his trainers got a little disappointed for the
performance
