Speaking about the film, Moses expressed some frustration that his remarkable life story hadn69制片厂制作传媒檛 attracted the attention of filmmakers earlier. However, he said, the German filmmakers with whom he partnered to make 69制片厂制作传媒�13 Steps69制片厂制作传媒� did the job well, adding the film has won awards at 5 of the 8 film festivals in which it has appeared.

69制片厂制作传媒淭he guys who did the video did a great job,69制片厂制作传媒� he said of producer Leopold Hoesch director Michael Wech and his team. 69制片厂制作传媒淚 trusted my life with these guys.69制片厂制作传媒�

And what a life it has been,

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Moses possessed a love for math, engineering and science 69制片厂制作传媒� his degree from Morehouse College is in physics 69制片厂制作传媒� as well as running.

He described himself as something of an Urkel 69制片厂制作传媒� from the 69制片厂制作传媒�90s TV show Family Matters. He was undersized, skinny and wore glasses. He was 69制片厂制作传媒� in his own words 69制片厂制作传媒� a nerd.

But he was more than that.

69制片厂制作传媒淚 was ruthless and I was relentless,69制片厂制作传媒� he said.

He was also exacting.

His father, a Tuskegee Airman turned engineer, raised the boys to military standards. They learned to march. They shined their shoes. They learned to approach life with a certain precision that both shaped and appealed to Moses69制片厂制作传媒� mathematician69制片厂制作传媒檚 mind.

He ran track because he loved it, but he wasn69制片厂制作传媒檛 a high school standout or star. The world-class future that awaited him was not evident in his younger days.

He went to the Historically Black College and University Morehouse 69制片厂制作传媒� in Atlanta 69制片厂制作传媒� on an engineering scholarship. He walked on to the under-financed and under-coached track team which didn69制片厂制作传媒檛 have its own track.

But while working out in Atlanta by jumping fences at area high schools, Moses bloomed and he clashed 69制片厂制作传媒� not for the last time 69制片厂制作传媒� with authority.

The Morehouse coach tried to force Moses to practice on a concrete 69制片厂制作传媒渢rack69制片厂制作传媒� which was essentially a parking lot with lanes painted on it. Moses 69制片厂制作传媒� who became a pioneer in the area of bio-mechanics 69制片厂制作传媒� began developing his own training regimen and recovery program, getting briefly kicked off the team. The coach tried to tell him he was banned from the track 69制片厂制作传媒� which was not a Morehouse facility.

69制片厂制作传媒淭his is not your track,69制片厂制作传媒� Moses told him. 69制片厂制作传媒淚 can do what I want.69制片厂制作传媒�

He kept training on his own, even through the ban, which lasted until Moses was needed and asked back.

Moses 69制片厂制作传媒� and some teammates who were also in the engineering program 69制片厂制作传媒� began applying science to their track strategy, determining the way they positioned themselves in the lane and the way they pushed off could add as much as 20-feet to the 400-meter race.

Moses determined 13 steps between each hurdle 69制片厂制作传媒� hence the title of the film 69制片厂制作传媒� was the optimal number. At the times runners took 14 or 15 steps and that number could vary toward the ends as the runners tired in the grueling race.

For the exacting Moses, the idea of varied step counts bordered on ridiculous. It would be 13 steps between every hurdle, every time. Anything less was a mistake.

Out of Nowhere

Prior to March of 1976, Moses had competed in the 400M hurdles one time. He qualified for the Olympic trials that summer and in in July of that year took home the gold medal in the Olympic Games in Montreal, setting a world record and turning the sport on its head.

The process wasn69制片厂制作传媒檛 perfect yet, however.

As Moses revolutionized the sport on the track, he was also innovating off of it. He was among the first 69制片厂制作传媒� if not the first 69制片厂制作传媒� to embrace post workout or event ice baths, allowing his body to recover faster. He was the first to use a heart monitor 69制片厂制作传媒� like are commonly worn in soccer or basketball now 69制片厂制作传媒� to track his cardiac health and the effect racing had on his body. He was the first 69制片厂制作传媒� or among the first 69制片厂制作传媒� to use high-speed cameras to study his body in motion, looking for flaws in technique or approach.

He embraced pliability training and a stretching regiment that helped protect him from injury.

69制片厂制作传媒淚 never had a coach,69制片厂制作传媒� he said. 69制片厂制作传媒淚 had to come up with all these things myself.69制片厂制作传媒�

Asked if he feels pride when he sees modern athletes following techniques he pioneered decades ago, there was a slight shake of the head.

69制片厂制作传媒淚69制片厂制作传媒檝e never really gotten credit for it,69制片厂制作传媒� he said. 69制片厂制作传媒淎 lot of people just don69制片厂制作传媒檛 know.69制片厂制作传媒�

The film, he hopes, will remedy some of that.

The Streak

In August of 1977, Moses lost to a West German runner named Harald Schmid. It was the last time he would lose for nearly a decade.

Over the course of the next 9 years, 9 months and 9 days, Moses laid waste to each and every competitor that came his way. During the course of his winning streak, Moses 69制片厂制作传媒� and the rest of the U.S. delegation 69制片厂制作传媒� missed the 1980 Olympics in Moscow due to the U.S. government69制片厂制作传媒檚 boycott and he took gold in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angles.

Before he lost to his friend and countryman Danny Harris in Madrid, Spain in 1987, Moses won 122 consecutive races, set two more world records, and won three World Cup titles.

How impressive was the streak? In the documentary, Michael Johnson 69制片厂制作传媒� the world class sprinter whose winning streak sits in second place with 58 straight win 69制片厂制作传媒� marvels at the gap between first and second.

Ultimately, the streak was the result of the melding of his talent, his scientific mind and his relentless approach.

He alternately referred to himself as a gladiator going to battle and a surgeon, preparing to operate.

69制片厂制作传媒淚 loved the process,69制片厂制作传媒� he said, adding he modeled himself after Bruce Lee.

69制片厂制作传媒淥ne thing I always knew I was gonna be in better shape than everyone else,69制片厂制作传媒� he said.

Activism

The movie isn69制片厂制作传媒檛 simply about Moses69制片厂制作传媒� life on the track. It follows how his exacting standards and steadfast willingness to stand for what he sees as right has impacted sports, society and his own life.

Moses69制片厂制作传媒� first cause was for fair pay and professionalism. At the time, Olympic athletes were expected to maintain amateur status, meaning they couldn69制片厂制作传媒檛 accept appearance money or financial sponsorships.

While those putting on the games and the International Olympic Committee made tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, the athletes who were attracting the crowds weren69制片厂制作传媒檛 allowed to capitalize.

Moses led the charge to allow athletes to be compensated for their talents.

69制片厂制作传媒淚t didn69制片厂制作传媒檛 make sense. I was a radical from the very beginning. If we didn69制片厂制作传媒檛 get what we deserved, we just didn69制片厂制作传媒檛 run,69制片厂制作传媒� Moses said.

At the age of 33, Moses took bronze in the final 400M race of his career at the Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. At that same games, Canadian Sprinter Ben Johnson won Gold in the 100 meters but was stripped of his medal after testing positive for banned substances.

It was here that he again began to apply his scientific mind and steadfast, upright nature to the sport he loved. He designed the sports first random, out-of-competition testing protocols and continued to push the IOC for more standards and protocols in efforts to keep the sport clean.

He was the chief of US testing from 1989 to 1994 where he said he faced pushback from IOC members who feared testing efforts could kill the cash cow that was Olympic sports.

He says 69制片厂制作传媒� as has frequently happened 69制片厂制作传媒� his strident efforts led to his eventually exit from the organization.

69制片厂制作传媒淚 believe I had to be on the right side of the fight,69制片厂制作传媒� Moses, the former chair of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, said. 69制片厂制作传媒淚 was the big mouth that69制片厂制作传媒檚 why I got things done.69制片厂制作传媒�

He said he got a lot of pushback from the athletes, but he69制片厂制作传媒檇 had two main missions.

69制片厂制作传媒淢ake sure they69制片厂制作传媒檙e gonna get paid and make sure they69制片厂制作传媒檙e clean,69制片厂制作传媒� he said.

Life after running

A global ambassador for sport, Moses was elected the inaugural chairman of Laureus World Sports Academy, an organization that celebrates the world69制片厂制作传媒檚 top athletes, and the global impact of sports. Inspired by an appearance with Nelson Mandela, Moses spent the next 17 years serving as a driving force in the organization.

69制片厂制作传媒淲hen Edwin stood down in 2016, Laureus supported more than 100 projects around the world and had improved the lives of countless young people and the communities in which they lived,69制片厂制作传媒� Laureus69制片厂制作传媒� website says.

While he69制片厂制作传媒檚 no longer competing on the track, he hasn69制片厂制作传媒檛 stopped clearing hurdles, one of which was getting his alma mater to build an acceptable track.

The original was unveiled in 1986 and named after Moses, but it wasn69制片厂制作传媒檛 up to standards to host college competitions. Moses challenged the administration to upgrade the facility and after years of lobbying got the commitment. He then helped raised $4.5 million to refurbish and upgrade the track. The new facility opened in 2022.

69制片厂制作传媒淚 forced them to do the right thing,69制片厂制作传媒� he said.

Perhaps the most significant hurdle came in 2017. Moses suffered a serious concussion in a fall down the stairs. A short time later, he banged his head getting into a car. The second knock caused a brain bleed that nearly proved fatal. Moses had to regain the ability to walk after the incident.

He has regained full movement 69制片厂制作传媒� as evidenced by his hurdling technique demonstrations at Walters State and the fact he continues to train and study Kung Fu and jujitsu as a way to stay healthy.

Though he isn69制片厂制作传媒檛 in competition anymore, the track legend still stands out from the crowd or as he put it, explaining his days dominating on the track, 69制片厂制作传媒淚69制片厂制作传媒檓 running a different kind of race than they are.69制片厂制作传媒�
