The stride of that Jamaican(Grace Jackson) coming in second behind Flo Jo is amazing @ 7:18
amazing her doctor and the dealer who supplied it
21.69😃 Allyson Felix..
Couldn't help but notice her - all legs! But I saw FloJo in LA '84 Olympics as I just moved there in December of '83. Took a picture with her at stadium. Wish I still had it. One of greatest thrills In my life. Loved her to death.

Where is your picture with Flo Jo???
Look at the slow motion of Flo’s form. She is bouncing and nearly floating off the track. She remains relaxed, keeps her form, and maintains her speed. Say what you want about her, but those mechanics are a master class in sprinting.
The American is master of cheating...🤭
The Jamaicans are the masters of sprinting!👌
@@enigmaticgenius7717 Cry some More please 🙂😉
@@enigmaticgenius7717 the Jamaican women look like beasts next to Flo-Jo. She’s half their size. If anything they are the cheaters.
You may say that again ❤
@@enigmaticgenius7717 Why then can't they beat Flo Jo's records, even with their Country giving them a drug testing pass even with a number of their athletes like Steve Mullings banned for life for using steroids 🤭🤭
How insane is that Grace Jackson ran the 3rd fastest time ever...and got a silver medal?!
That's because she was running against the greatest female sprinter in the history of planet Earth... With respect to Grace Jackson.. flojo was simply phenomenal....

Look at that video again. She wasn't the winner. The camera just focussed on Grace.
Imagine going into a final, breaking the world record in the semis. Flo Jo was truly incredible
Absolutely she was incredible,,, a beautiful moment in Time..... FloJo was a goddess.....

Flo jo running form was perfect. She was truly ahead of her time.
33 years latter, "Flo Jo' still the Queen..RIP..
@@acejohnny71 when will you Jamaicans get over it? She's the GOAT so stop it with all these unsubstantiated claims. Y'all drug testing program isn't exactly top notch by the way which begs to question, how many of the man looking Jamaican women are juicing up?
@@ConsciousFBA think about what you're saying so what about the Olympics r any international meeting who do you think tested them ???
@@jermainemyles1825 it matters not, the fact is she never tested positive for anything. To continue to defile her name without valid evidence is not fair.
@@ConsciousFBA smh I never said anything about Flo ,I'm making referent to what you said about Jamaican women and the system they used to test their athletes ,I'm sure you know no women from Jamaica was tested positive at any international meeting that's what I'm talking about NOT Flo jo
@@ConsciousFBA ok will check it out
Ok...just think about this: Flo Jo breaks the Olympic record in the SEMI-FINALS! THEN LOWERS THAT TIME BY 2 TENTHS OF A SECOND IN THE FINALS!!! She set 2 world records for the same race in one DAY!!! Man listen...and the record STILL hasn't been broken!
and she slowed down at the end to celebrate

It is very naive to believe that FloJo wasn't juiced. Jarmila Kratochvílová's 1:53,28 (1983-oldest WR) in women's 800m and Marita Koch's 47:60 (1985) in women's 400m are still standing and are almost unbreakable like FloJo's records. All 3 were tested negative but we all know that they were juiced. Between 1982-1987 FloJo's SB were around 22 seconds and out of a sudden during 3 months (July-August-September 1988) she ran all those unbelievable times. After the 1988 Olympics, Griffith Joyner retired from competitive track and field, just before the introduction of mandatory random drug testing in 1989. Come oooon.

I love the smile at 8:38
I’m not sure Flojo’s record will ever be broken. She was truly an alien from different planet
Me tooo flojos records are extra ordinary,if Clayton don't break them noone shall break them
FLO JO SET A MARK THAT MAY NEVER BE BROKEN.. RIP QUEEN
I agree... A lot may not accept Queen Flo's record.. Some may say the sprint GOAT is Sherly Ann Fraser-Pryce coz she's been winning in the past four Olympics... A given coz Queen Flo is not around... But to break three sprint records in just one Olympics?! And in a matter of hours! Wow! They should accept the fact that Queen Flo is the GOAT... No one else...
@@ard8785 I agree with you wholeheartedly,, did you know Flo Jo was ostracized and picked on, she took 11 drug tests in 1988 and passed all of them 11 drug test that's more drug test than the entire island of Jamaica that year.. and they couldn't find anything she passed everything.. sad man it flojo was from any of the oddballs who tried to trash her name if she was from their country we would have a different conversation... It's sad I'm telling you... flojo is the greatest ever..
@@Haraka111 Yeah, I have researched that one about 3 years ago... Unfortunately, these Caribbean nation runners - Jamaica, Tirinidad and Tobago, Haiti - cannot accept the fact that Flo Jo passed all of those drug tests. They are so bitter because inspite of their "black magics" and herbal medicines for speed and strength, still, their runners cannot even get near the mark set by Flo Jo. They allege that Flo Jo took drugs when they themselves also took on a different kind of drugs. Whatever they say or allege again Queen Flo, Flo Jo will remain "The GOAT" - until such time that a worthy sprinter can break all of her records.
@@ard8785 I don't believe it somebody who's focused on absolute facts versus Hocus pocus, allegations, prejudice, xenophobia.. you are a breath of fresh air..
Flojo
Never in her career had to take a (b)sample
Never in her career had to return a medal
Never in her career had to return prize money.
Never in her career skipped a drug test.
A beautiful black queen.. unfortunately was born with epilepsy..
So unfortunate... And simply because she's born in California and not Montego Bay most of the people in Jamaica throw imaginary stones at her... Zero proof.. and at the exact same time make every excuse under the sun for anybody from Jamaica that failed a drug test... I had a Jamaican tell me Sharon Simpson got her drugs from America he blamed America for Sharon Simpson drug failure... Then he turned around and told me 10.70 is faster than 10.49 ,,,,man I'm telling you it's sad bro it's awesome to hear somebody who thinks.. God bless you..
Cheater
I thought Schippers had won the gold in Rio, until Thompson ran 21.78, about 3/100ths under her best qualifying time. Schippers also beat her qualifying time, running a very fast 21.88.
You thought wrong lol
I love you Defny Schippers. I love your game.
Thompson and Schippers are amazing sprinters.
Thompson, yes.
@@bysonchi Ugh. Schippers is double world champion in 200m. And 5th fastest in history.
@@chamindujanith6337 Yea, just as fast as her times went up, they went down. Just like all the Russians and Western European sprinters who set all kinds of records in the 80s and 90s. You figure it out.
@@bysonchi Van Niekerk and Yohan Blake are in the same boat. lol. Blake lasted only 2 years.
@@chamindujanith6337 Yea, maybe it also applies to them too. The difference is that you still have great Jamaicans and SA sprinters. But where are all the great record breaking Russian and European sprinters. Did they just forget how to run. Skippers is a perfect example, lol.

Flo Jo`s record can`t be touched, 100m and 200m, 33 years and counting !
well her Olympic 100m record was already broken by Elaine but that 10.49 is ridiculous.

@@djrichgroove18 That W 400m, 47.60 sec is about to fall soon as well.
Of course they can`t, she was doping at the time...pretty much acknowledged now. All you need do is look at her times over a two year period...and her body shape
@@jfrost1942not proven.
I didn't know Juliette Cuthbert was such an amazing sprinter! Omg
BEAUTIFUL !!!
The way dafne fell was so funny 😂
Her record will remain unchanged for years
So Flo jo ran a 21.34 in the 200, that mean she ran 10.66 a 100 meter, but she have to go around the curve part of the track before she hit the home straight away in the 200, I’m saying that because she has the 100 meter world record at 10.49, but they don’t believe she ran that time do to the wind thing messing up or something like that, but her 200 meter run in that same year should have prove ever doubter that, she might had ran the most superb 100 meter in women history, along with everlyn ashford the great, them sister back in those times where a different breed, they don’t make American black women like that any more, these women and men rely on technology to make them the best, but all it take is a heart to win
Unfortunately, that is not how it works. Otherwise you could take Gabby Thomas time in 200m and deduce what she could run in 100m dash

I was around at the time. I am an avid track fan and athlete. I do not recall a single story implying she took peds. It wasn't until when she died I heard people began to speculate.
SHE TOOK DRUG TESTS A MILLION TIMES. NOTHING!!!!
@@yvettelyn8183 Exactly she was the most tested athlete during the 88 Olympics. She earned those medals and those Olympic records with hard work and dedication.
@@Phephe00 Nonsense! A season or two before Flo Jo wasn't even close to running those times, she was a mediocre sprinter with inconsistent results. Check her history up to the 88 games before the rapid transformation with her body and times, it's very difficult to make such a vast improvement so quickly, hence the speculations about drugs. Plus all avid track and field fans know the 88 games were riddled with PE drugs, some were just better at not getting caught. As a point of reference, Marion Jones was tested multiple times and cleared and we only knew she was on PE drugs because she admitted to it.
@@todye4 She also Change coaches and changed her training style. It's not difficult to make that change if you put in the work. I understand having pride in your country, but I don't understand why it becomes such a rivalry between these 2 specific countries. Both countries have excellent runners Kama and you don't have to put the other runners down from the other country just to make yours look better. Not to mention Flo Jo was tested numerous times during the 88 Olympics because people kept saying she was doping and each tiwe're in each time hard drug test came back negative
@@Phephe00 She changed coaches after the ran those fast time in 88 at the US Olympic trials. as I said her time leading up to 88 were mediocre compared to the competition. Her fasted time in 84 was 10.99; athletics was a part time activity for her thing for her - she didn't participate in competitions as much compared to her peers. She even stopped completely 85/86. She returned in 87 with 10.96 PB and finished that year with 11.13. She started her season very late in June 88 first race 10.89 then 10.99 before US trials where she ran those ridiculous time (some wind aided and I do thing her 10:49 was aided as well because of the conditions that day and all other times clocked a wind reading). So for someone who didn't have a lot of races to get into form for the trials and still ran those times it is highly suspicious. With other top athletes today you can see the incremental reductions in with the PBs over time so it's not a surprise but with her she just doesn't have the enough results that supports the 88 times.
1983 11.06 Bruxelles (BEL) 26 AUG 1983
1984 10.99 Berlin (GER) 17 AUG 1984
1985 11.00 Stadio Olimpico, Roma (ITA) 07 SEP 1985
1987 10.96 Köln (GER) 16 AUG 1987
1988 10.49 Indianapolis, IN (USA) 16 JUL 1988
I am not sure what 2 specific countries you are referring to because I never mentioned countries in my initial replay to your post so I am a little confused with your accusation. Furthermore, my country was not in the women's 100 finals at the 88 games so not sure who I was trying to look better.

Flo barely touches the ground.
She had the best technique ever.
Hard to believe it, but there's a baby girl somewhere who is going to break the GOAT's records one day. She's training, eating right, doing all the right things and when she breaks these records, Jamaicans are going to acuse her of cheating. They're some of the most hateful people when it comes to black American achievement. Stop hating other black people.
It’s a shame you take this so seriously, Sports is meant to enjoy and celebrate the rewards of hard work. And for you to make this claim is heartbreaking and I just think you’re the one being xenophobic. Most Jamaicans are nationalists but also one of the few who will genuinely cheer you on regardless of your background.
And what if that baby girl is a Jamaican or of another nationality, what will you do then?
@@keneishaedwards532 In that case it would make you all look really bad. Most of the hate she receives comes Jamaican fans, so who's really taking this too seriously? I'm just one of those Black American Yankees who will defend her in the midst of so much vitriole on the parts of you Jamaican fans. Y'all talk about her hair, her mannerisms, running form, her confidence is attacked and called braggadocio, you name it. It's sad to see you all perform that way, but it's apparent, your ideas of black Americans come from what you learn from white american media who loves highlighting the worst of black people in n America. Guess what though, she's among the best of what black Is. You Jamaicans should get to know us and stop acting like chocolate covered white people.
@@ConsciousFBA Sir, you generalize too much, I’ve seen everyone talking about FloJo and I was wondering who she was since I’ve never heard of her before. Turns out it was Florence Griffiths, I had heard of her before and I’ve seen her perform, all good things as a matter of fact. And her technique is extremely good. So I can attest that I’ve only heard good things about her (in Jamaica) but I cannot deny the hate she receives just because I haven’t seen it. I will say that is quite unfortunate as she is a great athlete and credit needs to be given to her where it is due.
@@ConsciousFBA Sir I’m not exactly sure what you think us Jamaicans think of Black America. And American media doesn’t really influence us. And I’ve grown up to people loving and embracing your culture. I’m just a girl who loves Sports.🤷🏽♀️
@@keneishaedwards532 My opinion is based solely on the interactions I've had with Jamaican fans. You see, there's a lot to love about Jamaican athletes, it's their fans that are the problem. The constant criticism of American athletes, the persistent hate of our greats like Flo Jo. I just came to the conclusion that I would no longer let the slick things you all say about our people slide. Besides, Jamaicans are often very condescending towards black Americans as evidenced by my own personal face to face interactions with some.
One woman even told me she would never marry a Yankee. Ironically this same woman's Jamaican husband got her kicked out of the U.S. military because he got caught selling drugs. He was deported and she was discharged. I digressed but the nerve of her to say anything disparaging about black Americans. You all think you're better than us for some strange reason and there is nothing to support that notion. We're simply not going for the disrespect.
That was Flo-Jo eighth race within days apart... Flo-Jo was a gift from God... A one every 15 lifetime athlete.. like Jim Thorpe or Bo Jackson.. she's simply incredible a goddess....and if you think differently that's between you and your own warped imagination because you can't prove anything she did wrong but run fast fast faster than any female ever
DRUGS
@@Monsterup-ye8cr I know I should not even respond to this cuz that was an ignorant respond to you put up just one word.... Do you have proof of that... Tell me what drug specifically by name
@@sinsin1697 are you an idiot? She was on drugs no wonder she died so early after she retired
It is very naive to believe that FloJo wasn't juiced. Jarmila Kratochvílová's 1:53,28 (1983-oldest WR) in women's 800m and Marita Koch's 47:60 (1985) in women's 400m are still standing and are almost unbreakable like FloJo's records. All 3 were tested negative but we all know that they were juiced. Between 1982-1987 FloJo's SB at 100 and 200 meters were around 11 and 22 seconds and out of a sudden during 3 months (July-August-September 1988) she ran all those unbelievable times. After the 1988 Olympics, Griffith Joyner retired from competitive track and field, just before the introduction of mandatory random drug testing in 1989. Come oooon.
Felix is a legend but GOAT is out of reach when you dont crack the top 10 and only have 1 individual gold medal. Elaine Thompson is knocking on the door though

Flooooooo Jo Baby
Flo Indiana Pancers Jo❤❤❤
She was the greatest to ever do it.. that was her 8th race within days.. Flo-Jo was a goddess
Championship record 21.45 sec Shericka Jackson (Jamaica)
Can not trust Times before 2000. Doping. The fastest clean time is 21.63 s Dafne Schippers. She is the only athlete continuesly double tested every other day.
All used dope even until this day.
I am here huge fan
Agreed!
Schippers was not clean. Not at all.
At this point, I am only seeing American and Jamaicans
After the phenomenal performance in Rio Thompson? Faded
U got to be kidding
I agree ...
Elaine run dahnine so hard her front tyres blowout.
so this top 10 list starts at 21.81 and Sha'Carrie Richardson already has 22.00. She got a bright future
What is the implication here? That one day Sha'carri will go under 22? It took Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce almost 15 years before she could run under 22 seconds in the 200. A lot of excellent sprinters did not break the 22 seconds barrier. Lets hope that Sha'carri does break the barrier though
Yes, Sha'Carri will run under 22. How is that even difficult to imagine?...she can easily beat her pb by a whopping .01s or more (and no, it' won't take her 15 years)
@@proverbalizer well this aged like milk
I bet Flo Jo still fast in 2021
haha it is.. time flies record still stand
Doped up
How those ladies beat those East German men back then was amazing
Who's the one that fell in the finish line, she came Second (WhiteLady)@2:29?
