Edwin Moses Biography
Edwin Moses is recognized as a leading figure in the history of track and field, particularly in the 400-meter hurdles. An American hurdler, Moses achieved dominance in the 400-meter hurdles over a decade, securing gold medals at two Olympic Games. A graduate of Morehouse College with a background in physics and engineering, Moses applied scientific principles to his training and performance, contributing to advancements in hurdling technique. Notably, he utilized a longer stride, enabling him to take 13 steps between hurdles when most elite hurdlers took 14.
In his first international competition at the Olympic Games in Montreal, Moses won gold in the 400-meter hurdles, setting both Olympic and world records. He was unable to defend his title at the Moscow Olympics due to the United States boycott. Moses continued to set world records in the 400-meter hurdles, with his fastest time standing for nearly a decade. At the Los Angeles Olympics, he won a second gold medal in the event, becoming only the second man to do so, and later earned a bronze medal at the Seoul Games.
Between August 1977 and May 1987, Moses won 122 consecutive races in the 400-meter hurdles, including 107 consecutive finals, and set the world record four times. He also won multiple U.S. titles, three World Cup races, and became the first World Champion in the 400 hurdles. His accolades include the Sullivan Award, the Jesse Owens Award, and Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. Moses was inducted into the U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame.
Moses played a significant role in the evolution of professionalism and anti-doping efforts in athletics. He holds a B.S. in physics, an MBA, and an honorary doctorate. Moses is a pioneer in the global anti-doping movement, serving as chairman emeritus of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and as a former member of the Executive and Education Committees of the World Anti-Doping Agency. He designed and implemented amateur sports' first random out-of-competition drug testing program. Moses was elected the first chairman of the Laureus World Sports Academy, an international organization of athletes, and received the Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award. His career reflects a commitment to athletic achievement, scientific innovation, and advocacy for clean sport in track and field.
