- Carlos Lopes appears in the 14th episode of the season 12 of The Simpsons, as Homer is watching great moments of the Olympic history. He is credited with being the oldest ever winner of the Marathon, at 38, and inspires Homer, who claims to be almost his age, to enter Springfield Marathon. The age presented is inaccurate because Lopes was 37 when he won the marathon. His name however is correctly pronounced in Portuguese (Lopes).
