Carl Lewis is an American track and field athlete who won nine Olympic gold medals in sprinting and long jump between 1984 and 1996.

1984 Summer Olympics: The Los Angeles Games, where Carl Lewis won four gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and 4 × 100-meter relay. Lewis matched Jesse Owens’s four-event gold-medal feat at these Games.
100 metres: A track sprint race covering one straight or oval-track lap’s one-hundredth, contested over 100 meters. Lewis won Olympic gold in this event in 1984 and 1988.

Doping in athletics: The use of prohibited substances or methods to improve performance in track and field. The 1988 100-meter final and later scrutiny of Lewis’s own record made doping central to his era.

200 metres: A sprint race over half a standard 400-meter track lap. Lewis’s 1984 Olympic gold made him champion at both sprint distances.

World record progression for the men's 100 metres: The chronological record of recognized world-best performances in the men's 100-meter sprint. Lewis won Olympic titles without holding the 100-meter world record during his peak years.
