Caraavaggio -Ben Johnson won the silver medal in the Commonwealth Gamnes of ’82 and bronze medal in the Los Angeles Olympics(’84). He was able to defeat Car Lewis of America in the World Cup (Canberra) in ’85 fand at Goodwill Games of Moscow in ’86. He returned the record timing of 9.83 seconds in the 100 meters sprint in the World Athletics competition at Rome in August, ’87 winning the gold medal. Before the Seoul Olympics (’88), the old rivals Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson competed many times and defeated each otyher. In Seoul, Ben Johnson won the gold medal registering 9.97 seconds in 100 meters and was hailed as the world’s fastest sprinter. Car Lewis came the runner-up. But these records were invalidated due to his admission of having taken drugs over many years following his disqualification at the 1988 Olympics.

Ben Johnson again started taking part in track events. He claimed that he could repeat his performance but was unable to match with his prior performance. It may be mentioned that his record timing still remains unsurpassed.
