Carl Lewis

It was a seismic moment in women's sports.

Now, whether or not It was known, but at the time, I mean, it was also Carl Lewis was having the final event of his entire Olympic career that night.

I think it was a triple jump.

So we weren't necessarily part of the broadcast calendar that was anticipated.

But the 5% element is sports science.

Where, how do you train your mind? How do you look at the muscles? How do you do the biomechanics? Those are the elements which help you to become a great sports person who will win one Olympic to the other Olympic to just like Carl Lewis did.

See, all of these people who are there, you know, because of they could continue from one Olympics to the other because of the sports science, which is also they were very firmly a believer in that.

And they tried to ensure that they coupled sports science with their training methodology.

What we want to do is give our 110%.

Like, no matter how old Carl Lewis gets, he's always gonna beat you in 100-meter dash.

Once you're an international athlete, That tends to stay with you, and when you're competing, like, let's say Carlo is 60 years old, he runs against another 60-year-old, he's gonna win.

This is my very first game playing in the night, and that too, being able to play in an international stadium, suburbia-richest stadium, it's just a fabulous feeling.

box I had no idea the law was that you could jump and be mid-air as long as you're not touching the floor.

And I put a post on X about Carl Lewis, some defender making a run from the halfway line and Zimbabwe's taking the penalty and leaping.

You could land next to him, couldn't you? It's not that long a stretch to jump from the edge of the box to the penalty spot.

You could actually be mid-air and Zimbabwe's taking that.

And on any given day, it's a hard form guy to read, isn't it?

But there's no Carl Lewis.

There's no Usain Bolt.

There's

But now it's below par.

She's trying

to, she must have watched a lot of Carl Lewis videos and wants to give them all a head start.

I'd like to chase them down.

I guess the big tradition in my family was actually the Drake Relays, but that's a weird one because my mom didn't like it and my dad did, and then I haven't been now for several years since I lived in California, but the Drake Relays was our big tradition.

Honestly, I thought of the Drake Relays when we were in Alaska because we were out hiking in the cold and the rain, and it still wasn't as bad of a weather as I sat in in the 1994 Drake Relays to watch Carl Lewis run when it was 40 and raining.

So nothing could be as bad as sitting in the stands of the 1994 Drake Relays.

Wow.
