Carl Lewis Matches Jesse Owens, Los Angeles 1984

Carl Lewis, bib 915, hangs in the air over the long jump runway at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in August 1984. At his home Games he won the same four events Jesse Owens had won in Berlin 48 years earlier: the 100 meters, the long jump, the 200 meters and the 4x100 meter relay. It was the first of four Olympics at which Lewis won gold, and he finished his career with nine Olympic titles.
