Today we're traveling "Back Down Memory Lane"  with Michael Johnson.  Michael Johnson made his Olympic debut in 1992, winning the 4x400m relay along with his teammates. At the Atlanta 1996 Games, he became the only man in history to win the 200m and the 400m gold medals at a single Olympics, setting world record times in both events (19.32 in the 200m and 43.49 in the 400m).

Emilio Zuniga has give the Air Max 90 a terrifying transformation with these new "Piranhas". Taking the 2011's Ocean Fog Air Max, Emilio applies the piranha flesh-eating teeth to the toe, with an orange underbelly on the heel, he finishes off the custom design with a goggly eye.

The 1968 Olympics in Mexico City was where Robert "Bob" Beamon made what the late Dick Schaap called The Perfect Jump. Beamon set the world record for the long jump with a jump of 8.90 m (29ft. 2 1/2 in.), bettering the existing record by 55 cm (21 3/4 in.).

Beamon's world record would remain for almost 23 years until Mike Powell broke it in 1991.

Today in our "Back Down Memory Lane" flashback, we focus on Edwin Moses.

Edwin Moses won gold medals in the 400 m hurdles at the 1976 and 1984 Olympics. Moses won 107 consecutive finals (122 consecutive races) and set the world record in his event four times.

Here's a look "Back Down Memory Lane" with Edwin Moses.

With the 2012 Olympics only a few weeks away, we here at VerveSplash will bring to you "Back Down Memory Lane".  A look back at some of the greatest performances in the history of the Summer Olympics.

We kick things off with the beautiful and graceful Florence Griffith-Joyner.

Her performance at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul Korea is one of the greatest of all times.  Watch below as Flo Jo takes care of business.

Marko Cheseto is a Kenyan All-American athlete who ran cross country for the University of Alaska Anchorage.

Marko's story is one that will make you smile and also make you cry. Depression is a serious illness that has no prejudice so don't think that it can't happen to you.

ESPN did a story on Marko, which entailed his trills of victory and the agony of defeat.
