Summer 2019 will mark 35 years since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
Carl Lewis, a man who spent much of his career racing the clock for world records, is still unable to believe how quickly time passes.
“It’s insane that it’s gone by that quick,” he says, chuckling. “I’m 57 and I don’t know when this happened.”
Lewis won four gold medals in Los Angeles, matching the feat Jesse Owens accomplished in 1936. For Lewis, it was the start of an exquisite Olympic career that included 10 medals (nine gold) and spanned four Games.
