| | Carl Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Carl grew up in Willingboro, New Jersey, in the Philadelphia area. |
 | | In 1980, Carl was selected for the US Olympic team, but the American boycott of the Games in Moscow delayed Lewis' debut. |
 | | In a race where six out of eight runners broke 10 seconds, a situation that had never previously occurred, Carl Lewis became the first man ever to break 9.90s, as he ran 9.86; thereby clinching his third World Championship title in the 100m and setting a new world record. |
