Keith Conning: 
I saw Kim Collins win the 2003 World Championship in the 100 meters in Paris.
Calvin Smith’s father set a world record in the 100 meters.

“Calvin Smith (born January 8, 1961) is a former sprint track and field athlete from the United States. He is a former World Record holder in the 100 metre sprint with 9.93 secs in 1983, and was twice World Champion over 200 metres, in 1983 and 1987. He also won an Olympic gold medal in the 4 x 100 metres relay in 1984. He was born in Bolton, Mississippi.

Though Smith was one of the best sprinters in the world in the 1980s he was a quiet and unassuming character and ran in the shadow of the more charismatic Carl Lewis.”
