Born in 1961 in Alabama (United States), Carl Lewis is considered one of the greatest athletes of all time. The "Son of the Wind" excelled in sprinting and long jump events, combining flawless technique with extraordinary mental strength. His absolute dominance during the 1980s and 1990s made him a legend of track and field, often compared to figures like Jesse Owens, whom he honored by matching his achievement at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. After retiring, Carl Lewis has promoted education, sports, and sustainability, advocating for the power of effort and mental preparation. His legacy goes beyond records — it embodies the idea that success is the result of discipline, faith, and determination.
