Seoul, 1988: Feel the 'Flo' #50Days50Moments With her blazing speed, and her signature long and colorful nails, Florence Griffith-Joyner, known as #FloJo, lit up the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games. The American sprinter won three #trackandfield gold medals - coming in the 100m, 200m and as the anchor of the 4x100m relay. Her record-setting times in both the 100m (10.49 sec) and 200m (21.34 sec) earned her the fitting title of the 'fastest woman of all time'. The 1988 Games would end up being her last, as she retired a year later due, as some speculate, to avoid testing for banned substances. Sadly, 'Flo Jo' died tragically at just 38 years-old from suffocation during an epileptic seizure | October 1, 1988 | 📷: Maja-Moritz / Bongarts | #Rio2016 #GettySport #🇺🇸 #Olympics (repost gettysport)
