In response to attacks. It's a moral issue: Flo Jo achieved her results through hard training. He didn't need doping. That's the point here. She changed coaches, she and her husband developed new training methods, which brought the long-awaited success, in addition to the work put in. A statement from FloJo and her husband, Al Joyner: “I know exactly what people say about me,” he said. "And that's just not true." I don't need to use drugs. If they want, they can come for testing every week of the year. I have nothing to hide." Her husband says all the talk boils down to jealousy. He said his wife's astonishing gains are the result of being "trained as a man." He added: “We bought a $150 leg exerciser and he did leg rolls every night. Over 20 pounds every night to add strength to your legs. He worked 12 hours a day.” Only those who have nothing to hide say so. Do 12 hours of leg training a day for months and you'll set the world record👍 There are interviews with her from 1984 where her voice is exactly the same. She always had a deep voice.Her voice is also deep in the training video made in 1994, even though she hasn't competed in years. FloJo's death was caused by an epileptic seizure due to a congenital brain disorder, sadly drowned RIP❤ Florence Griffith Joyner retires from the field On February 22, 1989, five months after the Seoul Olympic Games, Griffith Joyner announced his retirement from track and field. When discussing his retirement with Liguori, Griffith Joyner said: "I retired in 1989 because I could no longer train at 100%, the way I used to train. If I can't give it my all, I don't want to give it at all." Griffith Joyner moved on with his life. She became a mother, pursued fashion design and continued to combine sports and style. He even designed the 1990 NBA uniforms for the Indiana Pacers. After the death of Florence Griffith Joyner, doping allegations against her intensified. Many believed that illegal performance enhancers may have contributed to his death. However, after the autopsy, Dr. Richard Fukumoto, forensic medicine expert, clearly stated that no changes caused by steroids or other doping agents could be detected in his body. "This report allows Florence Griffith Joyner to rest in peace," said Primo Nebiolo, then president of the International Association of Athletics Federations. “His family has had to endure incredible media attacks, many trying to undermine his legacy without any real evidence. This campaign harmed the entire sport and the anti-doping campaign. I expect more responsible behavior from media representatives in the future. I hope that after this, many members of the athletic world will assure the family of their love and sympathy." The 100m and 200m world record holder is FloJo, these are the facts. Facts are stubborn things. "FloJo was juicing". These are just assumptions. The truth is, no one has ever proven these allegations. So FloJo's world records are and will remain official. I don't see anyone who can topple them. FloJo achieved his results with the perfect harmony of body, soul and spirit. Everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. ❤
"It's a record!! The wind gauge... it's alright!!" So Im wondering what freak of nature is causing the lane 5 tag on her hip is flapping like a dry leaf in a storm? The cover up of FloJo's records has no limits in some peoples eyes. Deny Deny Deny . Both the 100 and 200 records are wind aided beyond any doubt in you have a brain in your head. The videos itself shows her hair blowing all over the place after the 100 and the land tag tells the same story after the 200. I know people want to believe FloJo's records are legit but they just aren't . At the time the only way to compete with the East Germans who were obviously using PEDs, was to match their tactics. People want to believe she did records because she became a national hero. It's hard to attack a hero, but it has to be done for the good of the sport. Sherika Jackson and Sha'Carri Richardson are the righful record holders. The damage does not end there. Other sprinters never had the title "World Record Holder" like Tori Bowie, Elaine Thompson, Shelly Anne Frayser-Price, and Allyson Felix. The damage is far reaching. Coach Kersee please be an honorable coach and set history straight while you can. You obviously love the sport, so make it right for all the others who have been robbed.
To my mind, Jim Ryan was the greatest miler of all time. My personal favorite. A god. For many reasons. One. Comparing his time on a cinder track, you must account for the loss of time, as opposed to a rubberized track, at approximately one second per lap. More so even today. Ryan's 1500 time of 3:33.1, is the equivalent of at least, a 3:29 to 3: 27, today. Two. He ran alone---no pacers, no stiff competition (except Peter Snell). Think: alone. Third, he ran just out of high-school his world records, 20 years old (had he not burned out due to over-training he should have peaked at Munich (1972). He had the perfect form, long stride, everything (neck, arms) loose (only Pekka Vasala, and, maybe, Herb Elliot, better). But with all this going for him, sadly, fate was not kind to him, a man who clearly deserved better. Bad advice at Mexico. He was over-trained with brutal punishing training at so young an age, and then, he got mono. Mono is a career breaker. I trained too hard, and got it. I was never the same again. His punishing training---I believe intervals---pressure to win, run world records, got to him at such a young age, and he broke psychologically. Some races he just quit, dropped out, or finished dead last. He fell in Munich, and that was it. Game over. And lastly---my own theory---(I have others)--he was not suited to the hard tracks of the day (poor time to be running) but better on loose cinder, perfect for his loose, long strides. For his height, weight, and running style, the tracks, then, were way too hard, and his muscles stiffened (no oxygen). I feel the same about Herb Elliot and, more so, Peter Snell. Peter Snell's 800 meter world record was on a beautiful grass track, with pacer, and run at night (more oxygen, and calms the nerves). Were he running now---with the better tracks, better spikes, better training methods, treadmills, and money (professional athlete)--he would hold the world record, and be better, in my view, than the young Norwegian, Ingrebrigtsen. But they are different worlds, entirely. Jim was truly GREAT.
I agree with one commentator, that to run faster times you must run closer to an even pace. Slightly slower at the start and gradually pick up speed and on to a finishing kick. Jim did not like this. Perhaps, for psychological reasons, or, that it was the prevailing view at the time to stagger the pace (sometimes slow, other times faster) to save for a ultra fast finishing last lap as one kicks to the end. So it is correct to say that 53 second last laps do not equal a world record. But a more consistently paced race does, without slowing anywhere down, and finish with a fast last 100 meters. My humble opinion. I believe that this is how Ingrebigtsen trains, pushing his 400 meter interval times faster and faster, as he runs behind a cyclist on the track. And gets his slippery forward leaning stride from running on an inclined treadmill. As good as runners are, today, none will ever match the incredible feats of Jim Ryan. It was a time of great ones. Snell, Ryan, Elliot. And great coaches. Lydiard, Cerutty. I miss it.
