Carl Lewis broke the world record in the 100 meter dash twice and tied it twice. On August 30, 1987 at a meet in Rome, Italy, he tied Calvin Smith's world record of 9.93 seconds. He ran another 9.93, tying the record again, at a meet in Zurich, Switzerland on August 17, 1988. He broke the world record with a 9.92 at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. He held the record for about three years until Leroy Burrell ran a 9.90 on June 14, 1991. That record lasted about 10 weeks until Lewis ran a 9.86 at a meet in Tokyo on August 25, 1991, reclaiming the world record. That record lasted for almost three years until Burrell ran a 9.85 in Switzerland on July 6, 1994.

It was 36.3 steps and Ben Johnson took 41 steps in the infamous Seol Olympic final. However, I have just read where Usain Bolt took 41 steps to set the new world record. It also stated that Bolt was in the air (Bounding) for 5.29 seconds and a stride length of 2.85 meters (9.35 feet). So, even, I am confused as I would expect 6'5" Bold to take less steps than Carl Lewis who was around 6'2" - 6'3".
