The day FloJo’s Olympic star shines

Besides being acknowledge as the “world’s fastest woman” of all-time for breaking records in her favorite 100-meter and 200-meter dashes, Florence Griffith Joyner also make it known to all and sundry that a woman can be flashy, beautiful, glamorous and, at the same time, be an athlete.

Twenty-nine years ago today in Seoul during the first Olympic Summer Games held in the Orient since the 1964 Olympic, Griffith Joyner, “FloJo” to the athletics world, completed a sweep of the 100 and 200 runs as she became the queen the track and the toast of the ever four-year conclave.
