Just looking at this I just saw Jamaica n the USA ,the rivalry as always been there n friendly amongst the athletes. I am a jamaican n I always feel that the expectations is greater when USA is in the race,I hope they feel the same about the jamaicans. One love
Kwesi Willacy triple olympic gold! Wasn’t meant to be sadly. She still ended up with an olympic bronze. Such an achievement, but of course she wasn’t satisfied and got back to her gold medal winning ways!
Barwaaqo Cabdullahi love FloJo!!! Wish there was more videos of her running. Sad that her career ended so soon. She was far ahead of anybody she ran against and anybody since!!!
@@davids5980 Flo Jo was ahead of people for 1 season. Outside of that one season, Flo Jo doesn't have a single individual Gold Medal at a Major Championships. Only ONE individual medal AT ALL, Silver at the 1984 olympics 200. She went from 10.96 personal best in the 100 and a 21.96 personal best in the 200 to 10.49 and 21.34 in ONE OFF SEASON. That's a meteoric improvement that athletes simply DO NOT make naturally, especially, when you have been at the highest level for as long as she was before then. Also remember, Flo Jo ran in an era BEFORE out of competition drug testing was a thing. In other words, to cheat the system all you had to do was juice up and train in the off season and reap the benefits during the season while still testing clean She also immediately retired the VERY next year when Mandatory RANDOM drug testing was put into effect. If you were really clean, and you just became the faster woman to ever live, you literally have no reason to retire.
Ms Thompson of Jamaica won the 100m at the 2020 Tokyo olympics and set a new Olympic record surpassing Flo Jo’s long reign! What a class act! Great job Jamaican team for silver and bronze! Unstoppable!💥💥💥
Yea, this list needs to be revised, and looks like it will be a yearly task given this era of women sprinters. 🥇🥈🥉(Well not yearly cuz u know.... Every 4 yrs)
No, Flo Jo still holds the world record. She ran 10:54 in Seoul final but it was disallowed due to a supposed slight wind excess. So her 10:62 record was in one of her heats where she wasn't running as fast as she could. 10:54 is closer to where she was running at her best. Elaine is still not at that level yet.
So, essentially, sprinting has been dominated by Jamaica and the US and they are competing against each other. Nothing has changed lol. BTW, I think Jamaica is the only country in the world to have clean sweeps in the both men and women sprinting- 200m for men and 100m for women.
USA has had sweeps in several different events over the years: 400m in '68 & '88 & '08, LJ in 1992 and 1988, 200m in 1984, 400hm 2008, women's 100h in 2016,. Those are the only ones that I can think of at the moment.
@BRUCE PORTMORE nope I'm white and black people muscle are more stronger and they have long limbs so black are the most fastest and strongest race stop being jealous
All hail Queen Flo Jo. R.I.P beautiful soul. These beautiful young princesses are keeping your spirit alive in the best sport in the world, "women's" sprints.
Finally a person with sense agree with me Shelly ann Fraser Consistency alone Put her as the Greatest female sprinter of all 2008-2019.Flo-Jo Achievements doing US Trials and Korea Summer Olympics games in 1988 only.
@@petermartin5395 1982 NCAA champion 200 m..... 1983 NCAA champion 400 m... 1984 Olympic games silver medalist 200 m.. 1987 world championships silver medal 200 m.... You talking like flojo never has success...
Jeter with such a sublime form but never had the speed in major events to go with it. SFP, on the other hand, just always delivers when it truly matters and I'm so proud of her. Elaine Thompson, you beauty. Jamaica all the way ♥💚💛
My older brother use to take my bike and taunt me by riding around the corner, hit the corner going full speed, after a while I was able to chase him down. Long story short, Word got out, I ran track, received a scholarship for it, but didn't go to a school with a track team. Sometimes I wish I had.
@@sikeee854 I'm 39... 🚬 for 20 years... But I just raced all my nieces and nephews and won... I told them at their age no adult could beat me. They're either slow, or I still got it lol
Shermaine Prince Beijing was also a fast track and was it not the same stadium(Olympic stadium) that hosted The world champs in 2017 but I don’t see fast times. Don’t undermine the abilities of this women and don’t attribute what they have achieved to the special qualities of a track
I totally disagree.. The titles "The Best and The Greatest - The GOAT - belongs to no one else but Queen Flo. Shelly's winning because Queen Flo is not around. Queen Flo broke three Olympic sprint records both in the 100M and the 200M in just one Olympics! And with so much speed, flourish and ease..! And in a span of hours on each record! Wow! No one and nobody beat Queen Flo or broke her records... But Shelly Ann has been beaten several times - the most recent is in the 2016 O... (But if Queen Flo's just around, well, she will surely be beating the asses of every one else.. With all the Top Ten sprint records in her name... ). Just accept the fact that Queen Flo is The best and the GOAT... No one else...
@@kyngnick8723 Yeah, it's an opinion based on facts and records... Your Shelly-An cannot be the GOAT because she was beaten and placed only a dismal third in the Rio 2016 Olympics... Queen Flo, until her death, was never beaten... See!
@@ard8785 give her some credit. What's a dismal third? She got that bronze medal with an injury. She's the only woman who won a medal in the 100 m in 3 consecutives Olympics, 2 being gold. I like Flo Jo but to downgrade what Shelly Ann has accomplished is not called for.
Yes they forgot her. She's the 1984 gold medalist and 1988 silver medalist next to Flojo. She's always late in the starting point but still manage to get a second place spot next to the great sprinter Flojo.

These black queens are stunning and amazing, the beauty alone speaks volume. As an update, Elaine Thompson-Herah is now the fastest woman alive (10.60 Tokyo 2020) beating Flo Jo's (10.62) previous Olympic Record. She (Elaine) is more than amazing, and so is Shelly-Ann Frase-Prysce.
Hi Olympic Channel, thank you for creating the top Ten Women's 100m in history. Please be so kind to compile a long overdue athlete highlight montage of Olympics GREATEST ATHLETE, Merlene Ottey, who, made it to 7 CONSECUTIVE OLYMPIC games. 🥈🥈🥈🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🇯🇲
This info is a little off. Flo won in 10.49 I'm seeing everywhere else. And quite a few runners have ran 10.6 since. Shelly in 2021 now is at 10.63. Second fastest woman 🇯🇲

The fact that a lot of these women u saw them multiple times in the ranking and with Flo Jo, she's there that 1 time running way ahead of everyone, retiring from the sport and from earth shortly after. The same year when most of the men in the 100m tested positive as well. I was born at night, but not last night.
both nations have bounds of talent but i always look forward to seeing the usa women vs the jamaican because you just never know who will come out on top!
Don't know why so many people hate Flo-Jo that's just hard work and talent like we've never seen before she never fail one drug test not a A or B sample
Well when someone performs so much better than anyone else and especially when it stays that way even after 30 years... people find it hard to believe it was natural. When you compare the times that she ran in the 100m in 1988 alone, it's puzzling to see that she ran 10.49 with 0.0m/s wind while her other wind-aided (above 2.0m/s) races were slower. Also, not failing a drugs test does not mean that an athlete is clean. One great example that everyone knows is Lance Armstrong. Hope this helps you to understand a little as to why people are critical about Flojo's achievements. Nonetheless, she is an amazing athlete with incredible sprinting technique.
Outside of 1988 her 100m PB is 10.96 . That's a red flag for many folks. Fraser by comparison has run faster than 10.80 on 14 occasions. Lance Armstrong never failed a drug test either.
I totally AGREE with you... The titles "The Best and The Greatest - The GOAT - belongs to no one else but Queen Flo. Shelly's winning because Queen Flo is not around. Queen Flo broke three Olympic sprint records both in the 100M and the 200M in just one Olympics! And with so much speed, flourish and ease..! And in a span of hours on each record! Wow!

(But if Queen Flo's just around, well, she will surely be beating the asses of every one else.. With all the Top Ten sprint records in her name... ). As to their drug allegations against Queen Flo? Sour-grapers.... All their allegation are UNPROVEN.. They cannot accept the fact that all of their fastest, when pitted against the living Queen Flo, will surely never win...
@@ard8785 I wish I could like your comment a thousand times... Shelly-Ann is a legend.. a star... Flojo is Andromeda an entire galaxy to herself... Salute to you.. and I hope you have a outstanding day.
In the case of Flo Jo's doping accusations, no one has come forward with concrete evidence, which is why it cannot be based on rumours. The sad part is that the accusations continue with zero evidence. People spread malicious accusations fueled by jealousy and envy, but when I ask: Do you have concrete evidence to support the accusation? The answer is always missing... RIP Flo Jo❤
@@brandonlue6438 they actually tested her multiple times and there was no proof of foul play. People can't seem to get that she worked really hard and was rewarded in the end.

The same year when most of the men in the 100m tested positive as well. I was born at night, but not last night.
Flo Jo set the bar so HIGH!! 31 years nobody will break the record She is 👸🏾!!!!
We will make them better faster stronger bionic 🤣🤣
Elaine Thompson enters the room.
both nations have bounds of talent but i always look forward to seeing the usa women vs the jamaican because you just never know who will come out on top!
Shelly Pryce, You're amazing!!!!
Don't know why so many people hate Flo-Jo that's just hard work and talent like we've never seen before she never fail one drug test not a A or B sample
joesincere35 fellow Flo Jo supporter here...she had perfect form! Flawless technique. Won with a smile! 🙂
Well when someone performs so much better than anyone else and especially when it stays that way even after 30 years... people find it hard to believe it was natural. When you compare the times that she ran in the 100m in 1988 alone, it's puzzling to see that she ran 10.49 with 0.0m/s wind while her other wind-aided (above 2.0m/s) races were slower. Also, not failing a drugs test does not mean that an athlete is clean. One great example that everyone knows is Lance Armstrong.
Hope this helps you to understand a little as to why people are critical about Flojo's achievements.
Nonetheless, she is an amazing athlete with incredible sprinting technique.
Outside of 1988 her 100m PB is 10.96 . That's a red flag for many folks. Fraser by comparison has run faster than 10.80 on 14 occasions. Lance Armstrong never failed a drug test either.
I totally AGREE with you... The titles "The Best and The Greatest - The GOAT - belongs to no one else but Queen Flo. Shelly's winning because Queen Flo is not around. Queen Flo broke three Olympic sprint records both in the 100M and the 200M in just one Olympics! And with so much speed, flourish and ease..! And in a span of hours on each record! Wow! No no beat Queen Flo... But Shelly Ann has been beaten several times - the most recent is in the 2016 O... (But if Queen Flo's just around, well, she will surely be beating the asses of every one else.. With all the Top Ten sprint records in her name... ). As to their drug allegations against Queen Flo? Sour-grapers.... All their allegation are UNPROVEN.. They cannot accept the fact that all of their fastest, when pitted against the living Queen Flo, will surely never win...
@@ard8785 I wish I could like your comment a thousand times... Shelly-Ann is a legend.. a star... Flojo is Andromeda an entire galaxy to herself... Salute to you.. and I hope you have a outstanding day.
Time to update this now, you go Elaine!
Veronica is a Beast.
Evelyn Ashford ran : : 10.76 (1984) she should be on the list.
Who’s here after it’s been broken
Think about this Flo-Jo ran 10.61 in the quarterfinals .......
Ann Price is the winner
Can you do one for the 200m?
Jamaica’s on another level 🙌🏽
Flo Jo is the best ever.❤
Thank you, Greatest video
Dat gyal Shelly-Ann.
In the case of Flo Jo's doping accusations, no one has come forward with concrete evidence, which is why it cannot be based on rumours. The sad part is that the accusations continue with zero evidence. People spread malicious accusations fueled by jealousy and envy, but when I ask: Do you have concrete evidence to support the accusation? The answer is always missing... RIP Flo Jo❤
Yessss! Queens absolutely
Black girls ROCK!!!💯✊
Flo Jo is still the Queen of Women's Sprints. Her Olympic and World Records in 100m are still out there.
Flo Jo was a fricking beast. ✊🏾
