Carl Lewis on his golden, controversial career - and new documentary

There will never be another Olympian quite like Carl Lewis - on or off the track.

The athletics superstar is a nine-time gold medallist, and navigated a nearly two-decade-long career that was full of headline-grabbing controversy. It’s all featured in a new Olympic Channel documentary, I’M CARL LEWIS!, which is out now and available for viewing in the USA and Japan.

Lewis joins Olympics.com producer Scott Bregman for a discussion on the documentary, his reflections on his historic career, his turn as a pop culture phenomenon, as well as his thoughts on fellow Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles, teenage sensation Gout Gout - and much more.
