Carl Lewis Biography

As an Olympic athlete, Carl Lewis was part of five American Olympic Teams, winning 10 medals, nine of them gold. With unsurpassed talent in the long jump and his speed in the sprints, he has gone places where no other track and field athlete has ever visited. His five Olympic appearances are a record for a male athlete, and many of his Olympic performances were in world or Olympic record time. His impressive track and field performances earned him the title of “Athlete of the Century.”

His 65 consecutive victories in the long jump achieved over a span of 10 years is one of the sport's longest undefeated streaks. Over the course of his athletics career, Lewis set world records in the 100 m, 4 × 100 m, and 4 × 200 m relays, while his world record in the indoor long jump has stood since 1984. His accomplishments have led to numerous accolades, including being voted "World Athlete of the Century" by the International Association of Athletics Federations, "Sportsman of the Century" by the International Olympic Committee, "Olympian of the Century" by Sports Illustrated, and "Athlete of the Year" by Track & Field News in 1982, 1983, and 1984.

Since his retirement from active competition in 1997, Lewis has devoted a great deal of his time and energy to charity, founding “The Carl Lewis Foundation,” which serves as an umbrella for the many charities that Lewis supports, including the “Best Buddies” organization, The Wendy Marx Foundation (for organ donor awareness), Ronald McDonald House Charities, and many youth fitness groups. Lewis is also a United Nations Ambassador for the Food and Agricultural Organization and a coach at the University of Houston. An activist for family, youth, education, wellness, and fitness, Lewis brings his international celebrity to attract awareness of the challenges and opportunities surrounding these issues around the world.
