Sorry, guess we cross-posted. Should have made my statement more clear re: Olympic record.
we are on the same page now, for sure.
In any event, Oerter, Lewis...both of these guys are amazing.
But Oerter was the original. No doubt about it.
Also...I saw Carl Lewis run in person once. It was at the 84 Olympics in LA. He was the anchor on the 4x100 that broke the world record then. All four of our guys were amazing. It was truly astonishing to see how much ground they covered in such little time.
I wish I could have seen Michael Johnson run in person.
