Happy Heavenly Birthday To Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner!! 🥳🎉 Flo-Jo would have turned 62 today! Please show some L💜ve for the fastest woman of all-time, track and field athlete, #FlorenceGriffithJoyner ✨ Florence Griffith Joyner ran like no woman had ever run before. She became a household name after setting world records in the 100m & 200m at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea She did it with notable flair, too. In an age where runners were told, strictly, not to wear their hair long, wear jewelry or grow long nails, Flo Jo did just those things. It didn’t make her any slower, as coaches of the era would've claimed. She was the fastest runner in the world and she was going to act like it. Four-inch, decorative nails. One-legged leotards. Long, flowing hair. It didn't matter. She became such a fashion icon that, after Griffith retired from track in 1989, she was commissioned by the #IndianaPacers to design their uniforms. The “Flo-Jo’s,” as they were lovingly named, are still an icon of 90s basketball. Griffith was part of a family that became track royalty. She married Al Joyner, gold medal winner in the triple jump during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Her sister-in-law was Jackie Joyner-Kersee, an all-time great in the heptathlon and long jump who won six Olympic medals. Griffith passed away of an epileptic seizure in 1998. She had been treated for three seizures throughout the 1990s. She was 38. To date, her 200m world and Olympic record (21.34) as well as her 100m world record (10.49) still stand. Her 100m Olympic record (10.62) was improved in 2021 at the 2020 Summer Olympics in #Tokyo by #ElaineThompsonHerah (10.61). #LosAngelos #California #1980Olympics #1984Olympics #1988Olympics #CaliforniaStateUniversity #UCLA #100Meters #200Meters #AlJoyner #TrackAndField #GoldMedal 🥇 #SilverMedal 🥈 #Olympic #FastestWomanOfAllTime #USATrackAndField #HallOfFame #FlorenceGriffithJoynerElementarySchool #MissionViejo #ArtOfTheOlympians #MostInfluentialWomenOfThePastCentury Sources: SportsIllustrated, GettyImages ✨👉🏾 Kindly FOLLOW Our New Page @wonderwombman2 (DM FOR PROMO RATES) 📬📥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXvt0gzueVf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Bobby Morrow, the often overlooked but fantastic American sprinter passed away at 84 years old. In 1960 he became a member of a small but elite club... track and field athletes who won 3 or more gold medals in a single olympics. #trackandfield #usatrackandfield #sprinters #running #olympictrack #olympicathlete #1960 #goldmedalist #goldmedalperformance #bobbymorrow #athlete #rip https://www.instagram.com/p/CBgda4cgzEg/?igshid=1vs8060x91hzy
