Top 10 Sprint Races #9 Michael Johnson wins 1992 Olympic Trials Lane 8

Last Updated on April 9, 2013

We’ll be recapping the Top 10 Sprint races of all time, with videos of each of those races.

Unfortunately, Michael Johnson contracted food poisoning and did not advance to the Finals in Barcelona, despite being the heavy favorite to win the gold.

Michael Marsh, who finished 2nd at these trials, eventually won the Olympic gold

Next time you get Lane 8 for the 200 meters, don’t complain!

Note Carl Lewis’ 7th place finish.
