Edwin Corley Moses is widely regarded as one of the greatest 400-meter hurdlers in the history of track and field. Born on August 31, 1955, Moses first gained international recognition when he won the gold medal in the 400-meter hurdles at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. His victory was not only a personal triumph but also a significant moment for American athletics. Moses' unique combination of speed, technique, and endurance allowed him to dominate the event for over a decade, setting a standard that few have been able to match.

Moses' career is perhaps best defined by his extraordinary winning streak, which spanned from 1977 to 1987. During this period, he won 107 consecutive finals and 122 consecutive races, a feat that remains one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of track and field. His dominance in the 400-meter hurdles was further solidified by his ability to break the world record four times, continually pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible in the event. His consistency and excellence over such a long period are a testament to his work ethic and dedication to the sport.

Beyond his athletic accomplishments, Moses was also a pioneer in advocating for reforms in Olympic eligibility and drug testing. He played a key role in shaping policies that ensured fair competition and integrity in sports. His efforts in this area were instrumental in modernizing the Olympic movement, particularly in the fight against performance-enhancing drugs. Moses' leadership extended beyond the track, as he became a respected voice in the global sports community, influencing the way athletes are treated and how competitions are governed.

In 2000, Moses was elected as the first Chairman of the Laureus World Sports Academy, an organization that brings together world-class athletes to promote social change through sports. His work with the Academy has further cemented his legacy as not only a legendary athlete but also a global ambassador for the positive impact of sports on society. Moses' contributions to both athletics and the broader sports world have made him a revered figure, whose influence continues to be felt long after his competitive days.
