?Just Like?a Car?: US Legend Carl Lewis Decodes Elaine Thompson-Herah?s Astonishing 2021 Season

The world is a witness to Usain Bolt’s heroics. He dominated the tracks single-handedly, especially from 2008 to 2016. However, before him, Carl Lewis encapsulated the minds of most people during the track and field events. He is a nine-time Olympic gold medalist who also holds the record of winning four consecutive Olympic gold medals in the same event; the long jump.

Recently, the legendary athlete took his time to break down the current 100-meter women’s world champion, Elaine Thompson-Herah’s performance. The incredible sprinter is on top of her game after her terrific performances in the 2021 athletics season. Dominating almost all the competitions that she took part in, Lewis analyzes her running pattern and discusses her sheer greatness.

Carl Lewis talks about Elaine Thompson-Herah

Winning two gold medals in the 100-meters competition, Lewis dominated the athletics world from 1983 to 1996. His gold medal victories in the World Athletics Championships were a treat to watch. Recently, he talked about how Thompson-Herah’s smooth running style helped her win many gold medals. Particularly, Lewis broke down one race she competed in with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

“What Elaine is doing is just running relaxed. Her race looks like one continuous race. So the thing is that we are trying to stay away from breaking the race down to a dry phase, no it is only one continuous motion.”

“It’s just like if you’re a car or something that is moving, you don’t wanna have stops. That’s why in automobiles now, race cars, they are using automatic transmission because it’s better than shifting,” said Lewis.
