USA Today, October 1, 1988 photos of Florence Griffith Joyner (Flo-Jo), censored in a newspaper I bought in Saudi Arabia. The fastest woman in the world couldn’t outrun the marker. Curious to know about current Olympic coverage.
Florence Griffith Joyner sets the women’s 100m world record at the US Olympic Trials, 16/07/1988. Her time of 10.49 garnered skepticism due to the wind reading.

TIL that women's 100m world record was likely due to equipment failure. 10.49 s record set by Florence Griffith-Joyner had 0 m/s wind, but all other events before and after and the parallel long jump recorded high wind speeds around 5-7m/s. Races with 2+ m/s tail wind aren't eligible for records. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100…
