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❤😢
Her legs running was smooth then the other opponent,her stride so smooth that why she can break a record,nice technic of running!I loves her smile while running and broke the world records!
Loved me some Flo Jo. Here they call it relaxed running, yet it was a bit more than that. Then again, the concept is simple. May God bless my Flo Jo, and my Flo Jo spirit.
Loved watching this lady fly..and still lament her passing so soon. Never knew she had a history of seizures. The unsung singer Teena Marie had the same condition & basically passed the same way. Talented and beautiful. Will never tire of watching & listening.
Flo Jo's greatness is proven by the fact that her world records still stand after more than 35 years. The men's 100- and 200-meter world records from 35 years ago have already been broken several times. If she used performance-enhancing drugs, if not, she is clearly the world's greatest sprinter. Let's add, no one has ever proven the accusations made against her. In 35 years, athletics, nutrition science, and the design of running shoes have developed a lot, but she is still the greatest. All credit goes to Flo Jo for the best running performance in the world.❤
Absolutely phenomenal athlete! The Power, the seemingly effortless stride, the sheer elegance, the beauty! Simply the greatest of all time. And to think that had she pushed even harder at the last 10-15m at both events, instead of relaxing her stride as she did, Her records could have been even more unreachable. They may one day be both beaten, but she will remain, in my view, the GREATEST!
The body, the ability the humbleness...can not use drugs as an excuse...Greatness is hard work, determination and the beauty of silence. Well done Flo.
"humbleness" - that's actually not a word, what you want to say is humility (and don't confuse that with humiliation, those are 2 totally different things)

Effortlessly cheating as no drugs checke came in to place before this, plus check her times the previous year, she suddenly became superwoman and she wasnt even that young
The facts remain: no doping or cheating was ever found. In fact, none of the world record beating athletes coached by Bobby Kersee - FloJo, Gail Devers, Al Joyner, Jackie Joyner Kersee, now Sydney McLaughlin who just broke the 400m hurdles record the other day - ever tested positive for any doping or anything else illegal. They were just great athletes with great coaches who ran world-record times that have stood the test of time. Maybe this year’s group - Fraser Pryce, Sha’Carri Richardson, will finally break those records. And if they do, they will break them like FloJo made them - drug free and dominant.
Phenomenal Runner Her record stood for 33 years until just recently when Elaine Thompson Herah from Jamaica Surpassed It (100m) She still to this day holds the record in the 200 m❤❤

OMG, I thought that was a guy running the anchor leg for the Soviet 4x400 relay. I loved Flo-Jo, my favorite sprinter of all time. What made her such a great sprinter was her long, powerful stride that was also relaxed and economical.
3:15s in that 4 x 400. Yes, the Soviets were doped out and Flojo still had chance to win. Anyway, records still stands. 2020 Olympics with Sydney, Allyson, Delilah and Athine Mu, the dream team could not break it. 3:16s.

Our Heroine, flo Jo, the greatest has been assassinated in evil attempt to discredit her greatness as a most powerful fearless & beautiful Godly woman of color of the True Chosen Seed of God. She deserves honor & respect,
Shes the one who ran the times and nobody has since , amazing form relaxed enjoying her running. All the dopers before and after have proved how special Flo Jo was, there have been far more juiced athletes that didnt get close. That USA team had great coaching look at Ashford, relaxed elegant all things that make you slow down less than someone straining. Flo Jo wasnt fazed by the huge pressure or at least she never let it affect her performance thats a great quality

@princesselizabethgarden7556 it doesn't seem possible that she was able to manipulate the system 11 times in a row in 1988 and get away with it. Shericka Jackson is twice the size of Flo Jo and she never gets accused for PED'S. They tested her bones when she died and found nothing. She wasn't able to financially train the way she did before that because of working 2 jobs and financial reasons. Still until this day in any kind of conditions weather and people being caught on PED'S, running on faster tracks with better track shoes can beat her 100m or 200m times. It just boils down to jealousy and disbelief

We may have faster runners nowadays, but there will never be a classier.woman, lady, athlete. This woman exudes grace. Thank you Flo, for the memories. RIP.
She was the most unique woman athlete I have ever seen in all that she did for her country and I don't think her records have been 💔💔💔💔 broken RIP Flo Jo you are missed
The Soviet Bloc athletes were known (and proved by discovered secret files) to be subject to intensive state sponsored performance enhancing drug programmes. So whether Flo-Jo was using similar drugs doesn't really matter in terms of 'competition'. You could say IF she was, it effectively evened the field and she still won. Drugs didn't create that amazing stride Flo-Jo had, it was a thing of beauty.
The wind (+3.0m/s) would have still been over the allowable. Florence's technique was flawless, she pioneered the standard decades ahead for today's sprinters. Rest in excellence 🥈🥇🥇🥇🥈
The Seoul time was with an illegal wind (3 m/s), thus no record. The Indianapolis time was a fluke because of a malfunctioning wind gauge. The fastest two women of all time are Elaine Thompson (10.54 s) and SAFP (10.60 s), both in 2021. Up to that point Flojo held the real WR: 10.61 s.

@@lalib.53 Track experts know that 10.49 was a fluke, due to a malfunctioning wind gauge. 10.61 was the 'de facto" 100 m WR until both Elaine Thompson (10.54 s) and SAFP (10.60 s), broke it in 2021. I am not doubting the 200 m WR.
@@danbotez39 Okay. This is the opinion of you and the track experts. But it's still just an opinion. The fact is that no one has proven that the anemometer is malfunctioning. The side wind was really blowing, which was correctly detected by the anemometer....

@@princesselizabethgarden7556 what is so suspicious about it. She passed 11 drug tests in 1988. People accuse her of doping because Ben Johnson was on the juice
@@frankdagostino8588 her voice changed, her figure changed and the fact that she retired on the event of mandatory drug testing= all combined to set tongues wagging. Ben Johnson was cut because of the way he timed his drug taking- had he not taken drugs so close to the games, he might have gotten away with it
@princesselizabethgarden7556 it doesn't seem possible that she was able to manipulate the system 11 times in a row in 1988 and get away with it. Shericka Jackson is twice the size of Flo Jo and she never gets accused for PED'S. They tested her bones when she died and found nothing. She wasn't able to financially train the way she did before that because of working 2 jobs and financial reasons. Still until this day in any kind of conditions weather and people being caught on PED'S, running on faster tracks with better track shoes can beat her 100m or 200m times. It just boils down to jealousy and disbelief
@princesselizabethgarden7556 it doesn't seem possible back in 1988 that she knew about some PED that nobody else knew about and was able to hide it. Still until this day in any kind of conditions weather and running on faster tracks with better track shoes, nobody can beat her times. This also includes people being caught on PED'S. Shericka Jackson is twice the size of Flo Jo and she never gets accused of taking gear. What it all boils down to is jealousy and disbelief in how amazing she really was
Wow!! She is still No.1 sprinter in the world
We may have faster runners nowadays, but there will never be a classier.woman, lady, athlete. This woman exudes grace. Thank you Flo, for the memories. RIP.
Worst OR IN 10.54 !

The Greatest ever , Flo-Jo ,
R.I.P.
Flo forever 💕
The goddess of seoul🇰🇷🇺🇸
The most graceful runner of all times. It was just sheer delight to watch her run.
1988 SEOUL Olympic best player star
I haven’t seen a female sprinter who runs fast as Florence before. She is really great 👍. May her soul rest in peace ☮️
Sprinters are born.
Super...
She was the most unique woman athlete I have ever seen in all that she did for her country and I don't think her records have been 💔💔💔💔 broken RIP Flo Jo you are missed
❤The legend
The Soviet Bloc athletes were known (and proved by discovered secret files) to be subject to intensive state sponsored performance enhancing drug programmes.
So whether Flo-Jo was using similar drugs doesn't really matter in terms of 'competition'. You could say IF she was, it effectively evened the field and she still won.
Drugs didn't create that amazing stride Flo-Jo had, it was a thing of beauty.
Flo Jo was the best!
at what?
The one and only Florence forever👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
She died within 10 years mate: was the drugs worth it?
@@TheIrieman15 Drugs dont worth nothing.
I hope it was her skills that made her win. Anyways RIP Beautiful girl
We will never know
The goat y'all 🐐 🔥
If she didn't raise the arms getting to the ending she would have broken her own WR of 10.49.....Gorgeous running
The wind (+3.0m/s) would have still been over the allowable.
Florence's technique was flawless, she pioneered the standard decades ahead for today's sprinters.
Rest in excellence 🥈🥇🥇🥇🥈
@@NevaUndaPressureFlo Jo the best.
The Seoul time was with an illegal wind (3 m/s), thus no record.
The Indianapolis time was a fluke because of a malfunctioning wind gauge.
The fastest two women of all time are Elaine Thompson (10.54 s) and SAFP (10.60 s), both in 2021. Up to that point Flojo held the real WR: 10.61 s.
This is a lie.
10.49 official world record.
Flo Jo, the best female sprinter ever.
@@lalib.53 Nobody believes that 10.49 was achieved under legal wind conditions. She was lucky the wind gauge malfunctioned. After that she never got a legal time below , even at the upcoming Olympic Games
@@danbotez39No one believes it=You're talking about yourself.
What you cannot accept are facts.
Flo Jo is the best female sprinter, these are facts.
She has 2 World Records for more than 35 years, these are also facts.
These are probably "just" coincidences...? ?
@@lalib.53 Track experts know that 10.49 was a fluke, due to a malfunctioning wind gauge.
10.61 was the 'de facto" 100 m WR until both Elaine Thompson (10.54 s) and SAFP (10.60 s), broke it in 2021.
I am not doubting the 200 m WR.
@@danbotez39 Okay. This is the opinion of you and the track experts. But it's still just an opinion. The fact is that no one has proven that the anemometer is malfunctioning. The side wind was really blowing, which was correctly detected by the anemometer....
Perfect runner 🏃♀️, thank you Flo Jo, R.I.P. queen 👸👑
A thoroughbred against donkeys. Her stride was unbelievable. And fittingly, the woman who challenged her early broke down in the stretch trying to go with Flo Jo
Yeah I was about to laugh 😮
Poetry in motion, Flo-Jo😍
The best ❤❤RIP 🙏
Clean, smooth running style belongs to Flo Jo.
Its performance is unsurpassed. She achieved her results simply by activating her own creative energies, also using her husband's training methods.
Thanks to FloJo. REST IN PEACE❤
She the best forever❤
