Legendary Olympian Carl Lewis Named International Event Ambassador For Delhi Half Marathon 2025
World Athletics Gold Label Road: Delhi Half Marathon 2025, which is part of the World Athletics Gold Label Road Races, is set to welcome one of the greatest athletes in history as its International Event Ambassador, with nine-time Olympic gold medallist Carl Lewis scheduled to flag off the race from Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 12.
Lewis’ phenomenal career continues to inspire generations of athletes and fans alike. He competed at four Olympic Games, capturing a remarkable nine gold medals, the most by any track and field athlete in modern Olympic history.
The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics marked Lewis’s ascension to global stardom. In a performance that directly paralleled Jesse Owens’ legendary 1936 Berlin Olympics achievement, Lewis won four gold medals in identical events-the 100-meter dash (9.99 seconds), 200-meter dash (19.8 seconds), long jump (8.54 meters), and 4×100-meter relay. This feat made him only the third athlete in Olympic history to win four gold medals in a single Games.
