Florence Griffith Joyner
The sprinter whose trail-blazing outfits were matched by her breathtaking speed over the summer of 1988.
In the summer of 1988, Florence Griffith Joyner - better known as FloJo - ran times the world had never seen before.
And she did it wearing outfits the world of track and field had never seen before - with her vibrant one-legged suits and brightly-painted nails inspiring a future generation of athletes.
In this episode of Ten Second Showdown - a series telling the stories behind some of the most iconic 100m races of all time - Mike Costello takes us to the Seoul Olympics, and the jaw-dropping world record FloJo had set two months earlier.
