I am very glad to have won the 100 metres in the Olympic Games here in Berlin. A very beautiful place and a very beautiful city. The competition was grand, and we’re very glad to come out on top. Thank you very kindly.
Carl Lewis: 'I don't know how he does it', remarks following Ben Johnson's 100m win at Seoul - 1988
24 September 1988, Seoul, South Korea
This was a BBC interview after Johnson won the 100m final and before he was disqualified for taking PEDs. (from 1.16)
Well I was surprised because this time, Ben made a tremendous drop … really in twenty four hours because he just wasn’t the same person Friday as he was Saturday, I mean , that race was shocking. I just don’t know how he does it, or whether he gets a hypnotist or something, but he does something to stimulate him in the finals.
