Olympic Great Carl Lewis in Vancouver

Summer meets Winter at 2010 Olympic Games.

I ran into Carl Lewis at an event for the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada, this week. Lewis won nine gold medals in four consecutive summer Olympic Games.

His sports need no snow and very little equipment: He excells in the long jump, 100-meter run, 200-meter run, and 400-meter relay.

Lewis was named one of the 20th century's greatest athletes at the Sports Illustrated 20th Century Sports Awards ceremony in 1999.

Check out my video interview with Lewis. Just click play!
