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...

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

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.
@@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.

Anyone saying that Flo-Jo was "juiced" doesn't know how roids or how track & field works. ALL sprinters that break a world or Olympic record are *immediately* tested to see if it was clean. She has been tested countless times in her career and never tested positive. She was just the female Usain Bolt.
Sounds like you don't know how beating these steroid tests go. Marion Jones never failed a drug test but admitted to being on PEDs for years. So if she never came clean, would you have been proclaiming her drug free too? Please, don't be so naive.
@@markshepherd626 the PEDs that Marion Jones took weren't classified as such until around 2004 so there was no way for them to show up on a drug test at the 2000 Olympics.

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

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.
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)
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
I think Joyner might have been on full drugs, not tired at all after the 200m and looks like she could have kept going for another 400m at full speed...Also the fact she achieved everything in less then 1 year and then nothing afetr that its really suspicious...
She never tested positive and in your line of thought nobody can be great. Sometimes unexplainable greatness happens and it wouldn't be legendary if it occurred everyday.

Perfect form

P.E.D. Please do your research
She was most jucied sprinter in history by far.
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
Flojo was the greatest female spreader in history.... Flojo ran 21.34 and that was her 8th race of the games.... I just thank God my eyes are working and I got a chance to see.the sixth gear.....flojo is the greatest
Yeah the greatestest doper cheat in history
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’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
You should have put allison felix
Fastest in the Olympics, she only has 21.88 didn't make the cut off

Flo-Jo holds half these records bro she is INSANE
Elaine Thompson said No ma'am! That was a good race!
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

Did they break the world record???
Flo Jo the best forever❤
I dont think anyone ever going to break this record 🤷
Top 10 fastest 4 x 100 next please.
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.

big up Jamaican women runners
Flo Jo the best.
Anyone saying that Flo-Jo was "juiced" doesn't know how roids or how track & field works. ALL sprinters that break a world or Olympic record are *immediately* tested to see if it was clean. She has been tested countless times in her career and never tested positive. She was just the female Usain Bolt.
Like the tests that didnt catch Marion Jones?
Sounds like you don't know how beating these steroid tests go. Marion Jones never failed a drug test but admitted to being on PEDs for years. So if she never came clean, would you have been proclaiming her drug free too? Please, don't be so naive.
@@markshepherd626 the PEDs that Marion Jones took weren't classified as such until around 2004 so there was no way for them to show up on a drug test at the 2000 Olympics.

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.
shelly ann is my G.O.A.T :-)
That was Flo-Jo eighth race within days apart... Flo-Jo was a gift from God...

All used dope even until this day.

Agreed!
Schippers was not clean. Not at all.

Would like to see an updated list because Sherieka will be there twice and Elaine twice.
I bet Flo Jo still fast in 2021
haha it is.. time flies record still stand
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)
Doped up
Flo Jo eternit and forever 21,34 and 200m.
They be trying for that world record! But it's mine for the takin sorry Ladies its just destined for me to break the WR. ❤
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

What about Ottey 21.6
flo jo a goddess💚💚💚💙💙💛💛💜💜💖💖😍😍
I think Joyner might have been on full drugs, not tired at all after the 200m and looks like she could have kept going for another 400m at full speed...Also the fact she achieved everything in less then 1 year and then nothing afetr that its really suspicious...
Thinking and knowing are two different things, won't you agree?
Of course she was on drugs... Not only her, but almost every single athlete in that decade was doping for a fact.
no thinking athletics connoisseur would ever doubt FLOJo was on a "special diet" but that style was beautiful, there's no doubt
She never tested positive and in your line of thought nobody can be great. Sometimes unexplainable greatness happens and it wouldn't be legendary if it occurred everyday.
She never tested positive any banned substance. Of course one is allowed to speculate.
How those ladies beat those East German men back then was amazing
If it's not Jamaica it's the usa
Most beautiful and graceful woman ever fastest in the world only woman who could be her would be a robot
