Serena Williams before Serena Williams...

No!! Serena Williams is a younger Flo Jo inspired risk taker but Flo had a more classy style of dress more well put together

An original trendsetter.

@@erickacolden692 ...she was extremely girly....mad about hair ...she loved doing hair...she would do other girls hair......she loved makeup...and nails...the whole fashion and style vibe....it was an outward expression of her personality and excellence...since she could run like that...it made sense for her to look like that........it was not even a cultural thing because you didnt see that as a mass scale thing among black women in Cali at that time....the colors....the one legged cuts....she also was great for business.....the spotlight she gave to the sport....the visual of her made you want to see her...and OF COURSE she would WIN...but what was she going to wear was the draw...as much as her winning...of course she had a HUSBAND...that made sense...of course she was a MOTHER that made sense....and you know she enjoyed all of the things that go with being a wife and mother...and she was young while she did it all...and she did it in decency and in order..it was never a QUESTION of either or...it was perfectly natural for her to have those going on in her life...now its seen that you have to CHOOSE..to be a NATURAL WOMAN...over your career...and thats part of the subtext on why women now have these seemingly outre accessories...but they are not in shape...and that this outre actress is portraying her...but she is loud and obnoxious...i wish Tiffany all the best with her playing her...she has really fast..classy shoes to fill....

She was mine too.

With a real deep voice tho.

Yeah, except she was likely taking PEDs. Her physique drastically changed in the span of a year; as well as her times. Her voice even lowered. Taking off 0.5 from your 100m time in a year is unheard of, even with wind-assist. Not to mention that she retired that same year she broke the record, conveniently the year before they started doing off-season testing. Men’s 100m records keep improving over time, yet Flo Jo’s record remains for over 35 years? All the evidence points to drugs. I just feel terrible for all the modern sprinters who can’t come close to her. It’s not fair to them. Plus, there are many other American athletes who have said they witnessed her getting injections.

@@kathmandoozle Yep, all of her feats point to PED usage. And remember the deep voice? Very interesting… I think she was ahead of her time with the mystery enhancements

@@kathmandoozlethe long jump record was set for 27 years. Was he taking PEDs too? Sometimes folks do amazing things and it is what it is …. Elaine broke her Olympic record in the 100M she isn’t on anything

@@ThePorshaEdmun Elaine didn’t break FloJo’s record… she’s still #2 by 0.05 seconds. I’m talking about the big picture…. With everything I mentioned, it doesn’t add up. It’s not just her 36 year WR. Carl Lewis even said he knew she was taking drugs.

She was definitely a 80s it girl!! She's legendary

Moustache and all!

The problem she had that caused the fatal seizure was from birth and it was brain not the heart.

She was a drug cheat, she won one international race her entire career before her famous "record breaking year" then when stricter drug testing was introduced, she retired a year later because she knew she would be caught

She didnt test positive so that a few people could make money from her beauty and success and those people didnt die at an early age.

@@ronald8792 She was a drug cheat, the testing at the time, weren't very good, all tests were performed before an event, by then, people were manipulating the system, they took enhancement drugs for weeks or months before an event, then take other substances to erase all traces of the drugs before the completion, this is why she was never caught. The IOC found out about this trick and decided in 1989 to change their test process, they stipulated that all athletes were to be tested randomly in the year, during training, before an event and anytime of the IOCs choosing, this method proved effective and is still being used today, infact, the vast majority of drug cheats are caught by random testing. Immediately after this announcement, Flo Jo made her decision to retire, she never ran another race, because she would have been found out. If you look at Usain Bolt and many other world record breaking sprinters, they all won multiple gold medals in their careers before breaking their respective world records, not Flo Jo, she won 1 gold medal in Italy in 1987, and it was the relays, not her own individual effort, her time was also poor, nothing ground breaking. She was running for over 10 year's professionally and never won a single individual gold medal, her time in all of her races were also average, she ran sub 11 twice in her life before she did multiple times in 1988. Flo Jo was a drug cheat, it was the drugs that killed her, Steroids have a way of destroying the heart, many pro wrestlers and body builders die this way, so too did Florence!!

@@kirkpatrick7475 I didnt say she wasn't taking PED's, in fact I believe without a doubt that she was taking enough steroids to win the Kentucky derby. I just wish the truth would've came out because it might've helped young athletes in a positive way and for fairness in sports.

That's what steroids will do to you - take you out at a young age.

She was a drug cheat, it was Steroids after effects that killed her

Amen and Amen bro.

Have you ever heard of Darrell Robinson? If we go by what you posted, the answer would be no. So we suggest you go on KZfaq and check it out. While you are at it, check out Victor Conte and his data. You do know who Victor Conte is don't you? "COACH"??? What about WADA, NADA, IOC, and how they played into the whole scheme? "coach"? you know about them too, don't you? Do the deep research, gather all the data, numbers and then run your mouth. You may want to start with her numbers 1984-1987. If you were ever on the track, explain how YOU would be able to go from a 10.96 to 10.49 in less than six months. That's a drop of .47s, or a gain of about five meters. We remember Bolt saying he trained for over TWO YEARS, just to drop .5s. You do know who Bolt is don't you? "coach"????????? put a sock in it.

It's normal for people to be jealous of a champion and accuse them of cheating.

@@sabrinaelaine9123 I’m not jealous not an athlete but yes she was on drugs

A true legend in doping. Her records of 100m and 200m from over three decades ago are still unapproachable, but she is the only elite track star - not East Germans, Russians, Chinese or Canadians (Ben Johnson, anyone?), who passed away that young. Coincidence or just juiced to the SUPER max?

Yes a Independent beautiful black american woman praised for her accomplishments instead of her sex appeal. We have to celebrate our sista's who paved the way for us instead of european beauty standards all the time..

@@karma92sims14 I fully agree with your comment. Honestly I'm tired of seeing the white standard of beauty. It's about time❤️❤️❤️☺️

It’s not cheating. It’s a part of professional sports. The problem is that these things are banned and stigmatized. But elite athletes across the world use performance enhancers. Most people can’t tell because they don’t know what to look for. But it is very common and she is no less of a great athlete for using them.

Marion Jones tested negative for years but was dirtier than used toilet tissue.

@Gary Collier wow...serious analogy bro....

Every doctor and scientists will tell you that you don’t have an enlarged heart for no reason. It’s a side effect of the steroids. I hate to break the news to you.

@Damani Scott hate to break the news to you but my father in law had an enlarged heart and he NEVER took steroids??🤨...so what you say is not totally true. As a matter of fact, he HATED doctors and never went!! Died of an enlarged heart--diabetes; high blood pressure--finally heart attack. 😔 Flo Jo could have very well had an enlarged heart from something else.

I actually feel like Tiff would be good , Tiffany seems like a good actor just not a good comedian. I also think Angela Basset would be great

Agree

@@vegannn7178 lol you're lost

@@iamreborn3463 Angela Bassett playing flo jo, that’s hilarious.

@@queenofparkview hahahahhh home girl is lost man

I love Flojo. Never had such personality and beauty graced the Track ever. That being said, the only circumstantial reason that I believe she did take steroids is that months after the 1988 Olympics Random Drug testing was introduced and she retired from the sport. Sure, this doesn't mean she took steroids, but testing back was pretty horrible.

@@igloozoo3771 thank you. her legs were also crazy. No woman had quads like her's before or since from what i've seen. She was her worst enemy by retiring. I think her endoresent star was rising but was it there yet that she could retire. Mhhh?

@@2008topshelf Track and Field definitely was not a lucrative sport especially back in 80s. I believe only Ben and Carl were making lucrative appearance fees before the 88 Olympic because of Ben Johnson's WR at the World Champions at 1987. $250K alone in appearance fees to show up and compete in one meet. So, I don't think any endorsement offers would have made a Track athlete retire at her prime especially when she in later years said she wanted to compete in Olymics in the Marathon. LOL. Again I love love love this woman. May she RIP. But yet I don't believe she was clean.

@@igloozoo3771 I have an uncle who worked as a porter or suitcase person/doorman at a swanky hotel in NY and he swears when he met her at the hotel back in the day he could tell from her throat and face that she was on the juice.

@@2008topshelf - I wish there was a video of a interview prior to 1984. She was a successful NCAA athlete so I wish there were some spoken interviews to hear her speak, cause she occasionally did speak with a deep lisp in 1988 but there are no previous interviews to compare to.

Arnold Swarzenagger was using steroids. Now, THAT'S a sport that has a long history of steroid abuse.

Man…she was a BARELY above average sprinter for her entire career…until 1987. All of a sudden, she became superhuman and shaved whole seconds off of her 100M times. If you believe that this was the result of training extra hard - because she wasn’t the most gifted athlete - then you are very naive.

Unfortunately, thats why it's more likely there actually was enhancement. 😭 She was incredible.

@@beverlycharles6534 No she was tested multiple times throughout her career. All negative. She was just an exceptional athlete.

@@GabbyNurse several athletes from 1988 Olympics have since been proven to be on drugs at those Olympic games. The issue is that she died young, so we can no longer confirm if she did it not. It is likely that she was on drugs

As a species humans are naturally supposed to get stronger, faster, smarter etc as time goes by. The fact that her record still stands after so many other records have fallen says volumes. They didn't find anything in her tests but that doesn't mean she didn't take enhancements

@@novaksatsuma5162 I agree with you last statement but not the basis. 1) humans r going to get stronger & faster? Interesting but Idk. We don't need to be fast nor strong to survive or thrive. We r getting taller & losing out hair. Which are also traits w no purpose, so again idk I do tend to lean toward believing she was doping. She got too good too fast with no real explanation. Also, even w improved research & training methods she still holds records? It's too unbelievable, only expl IS doping.

Hey Cori I'm so sorry to hear about your father, but I definitely understand. I lost my dad at 16 as well and I'm going through the same journey now of unlearning masculinity and embracing my femininity more.

@@Jessa_Says hi sorry to hear that 💕 but good on you for recognizing and working through it, the femininity journey is life long so we always have time to work on ourselves.

I found your post very thought provoking. How losing a masculine presence at a key time can almost force someone to take on that same energy to compensate. Femininity is undervalued now but it's vital. It's that yin yang balance of both masculine and feminine that provides true harmony. One can't exist without the other.

what has losing your father have anything to do with all this BS about joyner? Life is hard for everyone in one way or another. Dying is easy, living is hard.

@@swampdickie I said that because Karine talks about women who develop masculine energy due to lack of a fatherly presence. I mentioned losing my father because it happened to me and I know it will comfort other women to know they're not alone. I watch this channel for my personal development, and I was commenting about my journey in a place Karine would see. My comment wasn't to you and it wasn't about Joyner. I am sorry it upset you so much.

Flo Jo's record still remains.

The closest athlete to cone close to it was Elaine Thompson herah of Jamaica..she mussed out by a few seconds last year

I saw her at the very first Al Joyner classic high-school track meet in 1996-97. She got out of her limousine and was signing autographs and was standing less than 3 feet from me. All I could do was stand in awe. It was like she was glowing like an angel. AL comes and makes her get back into the limo but before she did she looks at me and winks her eye and gets back into the limo. I never did get an autograph. I was completely frozen at her natural beauty. Not a drop of makeup on her face. I was absolutely crushed when she passed.

@@terrenceking5974 I envy you. I dont think you will ever recover.

@@scottowensbyable Till this day, every time I watch a video or hear someone trying to soil her name, it enfurriats me. I'm from East St Louis and have met Al Joyner and Jackie several times so their like family to me.

It takes one steroid user to suspect another. Drug testing has become more sophisticated now, than 1980, so none can hide. US athletes like Carl Lewis and others are more infamously suspicious of taking drugs. Not one Jamaican female is suspected of doing drugs, they run naturally. The men's sprint record has evolved since Jesse Owens, 40 yrs later no one can touch Flojo's sprint record 🤔.

Furthermore, Flojo was sprouting hair on her chin as well as developing a deeper voice 🤔 hmmmmm. Its curious how such a fit woman can drop dead at young age.
