Florence Griffith Joyner's 100m (10.49 seconds) and 200m (21.34 seconds) world records from the 1988 Seoul Olympics still stand nearly four decades later, making her the fastest woman who ever lived. Her 200m time is 0.35 seconds faster than the average Olympic gold medalist's time since 2000. Flo-Jo sprinted to three gold medals and one silver at those Games, a haul that surpasses #5 Steffi Graf's Olympic medal count in a single event by two golds. With neon nails and one-legged bodysuits, she combined unmatched speed with undeniable style, forever changing track's image.
