Flo-Jo was truly one of a kind.

On This Day In 1988, Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner became the fastest woman of all time.
At the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials in Indianapolis, she blazed to a 10.49 time in the 100m. This world record as well as her 21.34 finish time in the 200m final at the 1988 Summer Olympics have not been broken since.The speed and fashion sense of Flo-Jo made her a transcendent figure in pop culture.
May she continue to rest in perfect peace.
