thumb|'''Carl Lewis.'''
Lewis was a dominant sprinter and long jumper who topped the world rankings in the 100nbsp;m, 200nbsp;m and long jump events frequently from 1981 to the early 1990s. He set world records in the 100&nbsp;m, 4 × 100nbsp;m and 4 × 200nbsp;m relays, while his world record in the indoor long jump has stood since 1984. His 65 consecutive victories in the long jump achieved over a span of 10 years is one of the sport's longest undefeated streaks. Over the course of his athletics career, Lewis broke 10 seconds for the 100&nbsp;meters fifteen times and 20 seconds for the 200&nbsp;meters ten times. Lewis also long jumped over 28 feet seventy-one times.

After retiring from his athletics career, Lewis became an actor and has appeared in a number of films. In 2011, he attempted to run for a seat as a Democrat in the New Jersey Senate, but was removed from the ballot due to the state's residency requirement. Lewis owns a marketing and branding company named C.L.E.G., which markets and brands products and services including his own.
