LEE EVANS: EXIT OF AN ICON


By Enefiok Udo-Obong
Lee Edward Evans was laid to rest in his adopted home of Wasimi, Abeokuta last week.

Evans was an American sprinter. He won two gold medals in the 1968 Summer Olympics, setting world records in the 400 meters and the 4 × 400 meters relay, both of which stood for 20 and 24 years respectively.

It must never be said that one of the greatest athletes in the history of sports in the world died and bells were not rung to make the announcement.

Lee loved his grandson in America with a passion. He always talked about him with pride. He believed the young lad would be a supreme athlete, a gift to the world of sports who would replace him one day on the tracks. Lee Evans’s dream was to watch Keith’s son, his grandson, race at the Olympics. ....
