Flo Jo, the best female athlete of all ⌚ Like a bolt of lightening out of the blocks, perfect movement - arms, rythm, stride. God's gift to athletics. Beautiful gorgeous woman ❤️🌹
Big love to Evelyn Ashford for her class and grace and fluid running style. As for Flo Jo- that's my girl...loved her beauty, in your face courage and speed...that baby gal could run like the wind...RIP
Wow...after almost 30 years her record still stands and when asked if she can beat 10.49, she says "I do feel I can go faster than 10.49" with confidence. Now that's a winning attitude!
It's not that simple to claim FloJo used drugsCheck. Read Wikipedia. But she definitely did not die from it: "The unexpected death was investigated by the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's office, which announced on September 22 that the cause of death was suffocation during a severe epileptic seizure.[52] She was also found to have had a cavernous hemangioma, a congenital vascular brain abnormality that made Joyner subject to seizures.[53] According to a family attorney, she had suffered a tonic-clonic seizure in 1990, and had also been treated for seizures in 1993 and 1994."
FLo Jo to me was the truth. Very unfortunate of her untimely passing however I can honestly say she gave excellent interviews very poise while doing so just like when she competes. I will never forget her when people talks about female sprinters in track n field. She's world renowned and I don't think any female will break her record during my lifetime on this planet
She was a product of the era in every possible way. Skin whitened, doped to the ears, media team to cover tracks, political friends in a Reagan era that needed someone "acceptable to win for Uncle Sam" . And she did. But it doesn't me it's clean, clear or truthful.
You have your head up your ass about her. She was doping like everybody else. "Beating" the testing doesn't equate with cleanly competing. NBC made sure all the positive drug test results never saw the light of day.
A charade. Doped athlete. Her early retirment to avoid anti doping checks and early death with inflamed heart from doping indicative of it. But her record stands which is a disgrace

"She had a good start but she doesn't need a great start because she accelerates through the whole race" those words explains evrything about her races and how she was different from other women sprinters of her era and from the current generation's sprinters.
For those of you say there's no evidence of doping, her best time before 1988 was 10.96. A lot slower. It would now be the 509th fastest time ever. Lorna Boothe, who was a training partner in the first half of 1988 says she was astonished by her rapid improvement.
@@ronniejohnson196 not just Elaine, so many have had vast improvements lately, I wonder as well. Shericka Jackson's 10.77. The 19 year old erriyon knight. Again, so many. Flo was just ahead of her time
Today is the 25th anniversary of FloJo's death. She is the only woman to hold 2 athletics world records for more than 35 years. There are people in our world who can do admirable things without any doping. Credit to FloJo. REST IN PEACE❤❤❤❤😢
She was tested like everyone and past all test. She changed her running pattern lift weights with husband and worked hard in training and it all then out in world records. People that are saying she is a cheat are just haters being in rhier emotions instead of facts. People die suddenly with what happened to her,I know someone in my family almost die just like her. They survived because someone was awake when she almost left here.
I watched Flojo Gail, devvers , Jeter and the girl from Atlanta can't think of her name But none was as good and good for so many years as Evelyn Ashford she's the real goat.
Evelyn Ashford 10.76 real WR of the era and now Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce is the current (unofficial) clean WR 10.50. GOAT is Shelly Ann with so many Olympic golds.
Putting things in perspective: 1. Florence Griffith Joyner - 10.54 2. Evelyne Ashford- 10 83 3. Heike Dreschler - 10.85 Evelyne and Heike ran times that elite sprinters TODAY would be absolutely proud of but were pulverised by Flo-Jo! I am glad to have lived in this time and witnessed the greatest female sprinter who ever lived!
2 times in the same olympics the Soviet sprinter Pomoshchnikova pulls up. She did it in the 4x100m relay as well, almost costing the soviets a medal. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
The late Charlie Jones called this event for NBC back then...he also called the men's 100m final in which he yelled with a rasp "nine seven nine!" when Ben Johnson of Canada initially won the gold medal for Canada, but had to surrender it a couple of days later after failing a drug test, as he went "from hero to zero in 9.79". As for FloJo, she died suddenly a decade after this event from complications of an epileptic seizure and asphyxiation; she was only 38 years old.

An amazing era, amazing athletes. See some comments and arguing about illegal stuff. Some of the physical changes we saw during -80s -90s on various athletes were not completely clean. Because the enhancements were not refined enough 30-40 years ago, rough edges, so to speak, so it was hard to hide side effects.. That said, it's so much money involved so I guess no one really fights it for real. Ashford, a Lady. Always small, humble, well mannered and with a leg frequency out of this world
@@tazaman2009 And that goes for the Russian female records set in the 80’s. They still hold many of them. Just because she’s a yank she seems to be innocent!!
9:00 Bob Costas calling her out on the sneak. There is no way in HELL she could convince me she was always this good in the 100. She was never great in the 200, but yet crushing world records in both 4yrs after her silver in 84.
"She was never that great"........ But she won a silver in the 200m in '84. Also, 4yrs is a long time to make improvements. You say 4yrs like it was 4 months.
@@andresuston7692 know Flo was never caught dopping but it's just crazy how much faster she had got all of a sudden in 88 when she couldn't never beat or keep up with Evelyn all the other years before. Anyway Flo Jo the Fastest but Evelyn the G.O.A.T.! Felix & Shelly 2nd G.O.A.T.S not far behind Evelyn!
@Joyce Williams Flo early summer of 88 ran 10.89..then all of a sudden she running 10.4 & 10.5 during Olympic season isnt normal..10.6 is very rare & barely reachable for a female. Most Females best is 10.7 or 10.8
We don't have to. You have every right to remain in denial. Had it not been for her husband, Marion Jones would have gotten away with PEDs and maybe even have broken Flo-Jo's records.
The thing is Evelyn pick up has always been slow but her acceleration has always been immaculate.. Flo jo’s technique became amazing from start to finish and that gave her the ultimate edge.. they are both beautiful sprinters tbh
Even if Elaine breaks or equal 10.49, I will always consider Flojo to be the fastest woman ever. That lady was way to relax laughing at 70m, like that's crazy. Clearly she could've broken 10.49 had she not retired. And she easily ran 21.34. Man I hate the fact that she retired and unfortunately died years later. She was awesome.
That's what dope does it gives you confidence, she retired when upgrade drug testing was coming out,she KNEW she would be caught and loose the medals that rightfully belonged to Evelyn Ash
Dope can't do all of that. People always start singing the benefits of DOPE, but Flo-Jo was consistently fast and was drug tested frequently.@@sequillarochelle4044
Obviously doped. No out of competition testing until the early 90s. The reason no-one can beat her time is that there’s still no drug better for women than exogenous testosterone - anabolic steroids. These remain detectable for a relatively long time in the system so no athlete in their right mind can risk taking these if they are regularly tested. There is still doping of course but there’s nothing available with the strength benefits of anabolics that can be risked with the hope of being clear before the tests. She was a stylish sprinter from the start but the anabolics are what gave her the strength to maximise her style. All sprinters at this level are talented so dream on anyone who thinks that her technique is what won this. The deltas at this level are nearly zero - everyone has good technique. She was wonderful to watch here and I’d love to say that she was clean - but she wasn’t and that’s reality. Jackie Joyner Kersee the same in the heptathlon. Another ridiculous ‘record’. I’m sorry she died young but she was a doper and that’s the truth
Flo-Jo never failed a drug test, but as one following her career and seeing the dramatic decline in times, I just can't accept the fact that she was clean.
@@weedermann True, just like many former East Germans and USSR era Russians. But as part of Jones allocation, she admitted to taking PEDs. Unknowingly she also says.
@Randall Hill After her death in 1998, Prince Alexandre de Merode, chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, claimed that Griffith Joyner was singled out for extra, rigorous drug testing during the 1988 Olympic Games following rumors of steroid use. De Merode told The New York Times that Manfred Donike, who was at that time considered to be the foremost expert on drugs and sports, failed to discover any banned substances during that testing (see "Plus: Track and Field; Official Defends Griffith Joyner". The New York Times. Associated Press. September 24, 1998. Archived from the original on June 27, 2017. Retrieved May 11, 2014).The World Anti-Doping Agency was created in the 1990s, removing control of drug testing from the IOC and De Merode. De Merode later stated: "We performed all possible and imaginable analyses on her. We never found anything. There should not be the slightest suspicion." Where is YOUR evidence?
@@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753 Can't worry about idiots, it was proven by 2 different autopsy's and she was drug tested by officials from other countries beside the U.S and nothing was found. So let the haters hate our girl still holds the records and there still mad. hahaha
Fascinating that with all the sports themed news and documentary shows, 30 for 30, Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel and whatever else is out there, they won't touch this story. 10.49 will NEVER be broken and she was one of the most rigorously tested athletes of all time. That record is almost 30 years old and the fastest women in the world are not even approaching it. Even the doped up Marion Jones never got close. This woman's story is as fascinating as Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps and nobody will touch it.
@Sal Valestra It was clearly the truth, she had all the symptoms of drug use ... including sudden increase from mediocre times, and then retires as random drug testing was introduced and HGH allegations came about. Just look at Flo jo , her musculature, her voice deepened and she got hairier.
flo jo was dirty... listen to her voice in this vid and find a vid of her voice from 83... her voice in 88 is deeper... notice that none of the other runners hugged or congratulated flo jo in this olympics... those that did gave her quick hugs with funny looks on their faces... ashford was livid that flo jo was never called out on her ped use... evelyn made no bones about her belief that flo jo was juicing... and that she was the actual winner of the 100...
Evelyn Ashford is one of those rare souls that comes along that you just can't help but love everything about them.

That said, it's so much money involved so I guess no one really fights it for real. Ashford, a Lady. Always small, humble, well mannered and with a leg frequency out of this world
We all know Evelyn Ashford really won the race!
Flo jo is the best of all sprinter
Evelyn Ashford one of the few that didn’t use steroids. True athlete!
She shaved off .6 a second in less than a year. I’m not convinced.
She also shaved off her beard and mustache too.
@@nickpavona3326 Haha!
You don't have to be... Your reasoning is not the basis by which records are set. 🤔
@@tazaman2009 And that goes for the Russian female records set in the 80’s. They still hold many of them. Just because she’s a yank she seems to be innocent!!
It just happened from the beginning of the out-door track season till the end, in 2021 in Women's 100m & 200m. How you feeling about that?
9.99 Present Day With The Track Surfaces And Shoes For Flo Jo 2021
Very likely.
Love Evelyn Ashford
Flo Jo " etern Record 10,49
her 200mtr record is more impressive than her 100mtr
9:00 Bob Costas calling her out on the sneak. There is no way in HELL she could convince me she was always this good in the 100. She was never great in the 200, but yet crushing world records in both 4yrs after her silver in 84.
"She was never that great"........ But she won a silver in the 200m in '84. Also, 4yrs is a long time to make improvements. You say 4yrs like it was 4 months.
@@andresuston7692 know Flo was never caught dopping but it's just crazy how much faster she had got all of a sudden in 88 when she couldn't never beat or keep up with Evelyn all the other years before. Anyway Flo Jo the Fastest but Evelyn the G.O.A.T.! Felix & Shelly 2nd G.O.A.T.S not far behind Evelyn!
@Joyce Williams Flo early summer of 88 ran 10.89..then all of a sudden she running 10.4 & 10.5 during Olympic season isnt normal..10.6 is very rare & barely reachable for a female. Most Females best is 10.7 or 10.8
It's like Flo Jo hits the Nitrus Oxide in the last third of the race.
I love me some Gwen 2
Did the one that pulled up mid way through, step on a discarded syringe or something?
😂😂😂
Rebecca Metoglou you wrong for that, lmao
She actually tore her hamstring. She would've gotten second otherwise. And thats a tasteless joke considering they all juiced...
😂
@@user-br9ne3gm9x They didn't but continue to hate.
How are y’all saying she did drugs , but people who have got caught doing drugs can’t even get close to her times. Explain that
We don't have to. You have every right to remain in denial. Had it not been for her husband, Marion Jones would have gotten away with PEDs and maybe even have broken Flo-Jo's records.
@@weedermann jones was past her peak when the truth came out, so no chance of breaking flo-jos record
Prior to 1988 Evelyn Ashford was beating flo Jo quite easily in competition? Stellar run from flo Jo though she was the Queen of these games.
The thing is Evelyn pick up has always been slow but her acceleration has always been immaculate.. Flo jo’s technique became amazing from start to finish and that gave her the ultimate edge.. they are both beautiful sprinters tbh
why did she die? I know that sounds strange to ask, but I am asking. Do you somethings think she was a sacrafic ?
Even if Elaine breaks or equal 10.49, I will always consider Flojo to be the fastest woman ever. That lady was way to relax laughing at 70m, like that's crazy. Clearly she could've broken 10.49 had she not retired. And she easily ran 21.34. Man I hate the fact that she retired and unfortunately died years later. She was awesome.
That's what dope does it gives you confidence, she retired when upgrade drug testing was coming out,she KNEW she would be caught and loose the medals that rightfully belonged to Evelyn Ash
Dope can't do all of that. People always start singing the benefits of DOPE, but Flo-Jo was consistently fast and was drug tested frequently.@@sequillarochelle4044
Would run 10.20 these days and sub 20 seconds in the 200.
Drugs or no drugs that time is ridiculous. Amazing.
No drugs!
Obviously doped. No out of competition testing until the early 90s. The reason no-one can beat her time is that there’s still no drug better for women than exogenous testosterone - anabolic steroids. These remain detectable for a relatively long time in the system so no athlete in their right mind can risk taking these if they are regularly tested. There is still doping of course but there’s nothing available with the strength benefits of anabolics that can be risked with the hope of being clear before the tests.
She was a stylish sprinter from the start but the anabolics are what gave her the strength to maximise her style. All sprinters at this level are talented so dream on anyone who thinks that her technique is what won this. The deltas at this level are nearly zero - everyone has good technique.
She was wonderful to watch here and I’d love to say that she was clean - but she wasn’t and that’s reality. Jackie Joyner Kersee the same in the heptathlon. Another ridiculous ‘record’. I’m sorry she died young but she was a doper and that’s the truth
Yes,HGH,It is not possible to catch HGH with doping test back then
@@ArtEmis55K prove it
Hello yes roids babe roids!!
Keep talking about flo jo, you haters make her even more famous 😂😂😂
Flo Jo was not a sprinter. She was a rare phenomenon!
What's up with the White runner on lane 4? Looks like she was slipping on a patch of ice towards the end.

@@carlostejada1479 That's a female. You blind?

@@GoLakers3900
ph?? penthouse?? don't know what it means sorry
Flo-Jo never failed a drug test, but as one following her career and seeing the dramatic decline in times, I just can't accept the fact that she was clean.
So hadn't Marion Jones failed any tests...
Who was collecting the vials? Her husband? lol or Ronald Reagan in Uncle Sam suit
@@weedermann True, just like many former East Germans and USSR era Russians. But as part of Jones allocation, she admitted to taking PEDs. Unknowingly she also says.
Sounds like a personal problem.
@Randall Hill
After her death in 1998, Prince Alexandre de Merode, chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, claimed that Griffith Joyner was singled out for extra, rigorous drug testing during the 1988 Olympic Games following rumors of steroid use. De Merode told The New York Times that Manfred Donike, who was at that time considered to be the foremost expert on drugs and sports, failed to discover any banned substances during that testing (see "Plus: Track and Field; Official Defends Griffith Joyner". The New York Times. Associated Press. September 24, 1998. Archived from the original on June 27, 2017. Retrieved May 11, 2014).The World Anti-Doping Agency was created in the 1990s, removing control of drug testing from the IOC and De Merode. De Merode later stated: "We performed all possible and imaginable analyses on her. We never found anything. There should not be the slightest suspicion."
Where is YOUR evidence?
A mammoth on the grid. Few can instill that fear.
More like a mule.😂
"different gear" True.
An autopsy is the ultimate drug test.... Enough said!!
Amen
@@airjor1 if that makes you happy and sleep at night to bring others down you go with that.
@@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753 Can't worry about idiots, it was proven by 2 different autopsy's and she was drug tested by officials from other countries beside the U.S and nothing was found. So let the haters hate our girl still holds the records and there still mad. hahaha
@@airjor1 that's fine you have the right to do that. It's just to bad you don't have adequate facts to support opinion.
@@airjor1 Michael Phelps was on steroids too...
Fascinating that with all the sports themed news and documentary shows, 30 for 30, Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel and whatever else is out there, they won't touch this story. 10.49 will NEVER be broken and she was one of the most rigorously tested athletes of all time. That record is almost 30 years old and the fastest women in the world are not even approaching it. Even the doped up Marion Jones never got close. This woman's story is as fascinating as Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps and nobody will touch it.
+Vera Evans YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT
I would say Marion Jones got pretty dang close with a 10.65 & 10.67
but...
she is clean?
Marcos Lucio Silva As a whistle.
as clean as her empty winstrol vials
Many countries men's 100m national record is slower than her time.
one of the female sprinters predicted florence would be dead in 10 years, and it came to pass
Evelyn Ashford is the real winner for me
@Sal Valestra It was clearly the truth, she had all the symptoms of drug use ... including sudden increase from mediocre times, and then retires as random drug testing was introduced and HGH allegations came about. Just look at Flo jo , her musculature, her voice deepened and she got hairier.
@Sal Valestra Carl Lewis and Marion Jones were never "proven" either...they both later admitted to PED use.
@@acetofresh1 Michael Phelps showed all the signs of drug use also...
Wrong... Flo Jo was the winner here...
did I watch a different video??
😂 well she didn't win so...
10.49 :)
Flo is flying
Damn Flo Jo was a beast. Seems like such an amazing woman. Rest in Power.
flo jo was dirty... listen to her voice in this vid and find a vid of her voice from 83... her voice in 88 is deeper... notice that none of the other runners hugged or congratulated flo jo in this olympics... those that did gave her quick hugs with funny looks on their faces... ashford was livid that flo jo was never called out on her ped use... evelyn made no bones about her belief that flo jo was juicing... and that she was the actual winner of the 100...
Rest in a drug haze more like.
Flo jo. Gear 1 2 3 n gear 4 vtec open..
