YAHOO SPORTS - Carl Lewis' quest for four golds in '84, Jul 10, 2012

"he goal was simple in its definition, nearly impossible in its execution: win four Olympic gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump and 4x100 relay just like Jesse Owens had done 48 years earlier.
That no one had done it before or since Owens didn't temper the expectation that in the 1984 Olympic Games Carl Lewis could, no would be the second to pull it off. After all, everything Lewis did on a track – the high knees, the powerful pumping of his arms – resembled a locomotive running downhill. All Lewis had to do was show up and he'd win, some said."
