	n/a
	U.S. Olympic Track Star

At the age of 23 (in 1984), the 6'2" Carl Lewis from Birmingham, Alabama repeated what Jessie Owens had accomplished in the 1936 Olympics -- he won four gold medals in four events. A possessor of blinding speed (and several world records), Carl impressed the world as he went on to claim victory in the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, the long jump, and the 400-meter relay.
