For me or To me?
Which of the following sentences is correct?
1) For me, Carl Lewis was the fastest man in the world.
2) To me, Carl Lewis was the fastest man in the world.
If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?
If so, which is more commonly used?
Thank you.

It's "to me", meaning "in my personal opinion". The sentence is a bit odd because being fastest is not a matter of opinion, which if you ever ran track, you would know. If you wanted to use "for", you might informally say "For my money, …", but not "For me, …".
