Florence Griffith-Joyner (Sport: Athletics) 15:49, July 09, 2008 Florence Griffith-Joyner (Sport: Athletics) 15:49, July 09, 2008 Seoul, 25 September 1988: American Florence GRIFFITH-JOYNER, 1st, at the finish line of the 100m during the Games of the XXIV Olympiad. Other names:JOYNER, Florence Born: 21 December 1959 Deceased: 21 September 1998 Birthplace: Los Angeles (United States) Nationality: United States Sport: Athletics ATTENDANCE AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES Los Angeles 1984 Seoul 1988 AWARDS Olympic medals: Gold: 3 Silver: 2 Other results: World Championships Gold: 1 (87) Silver: 1 (87) Flojo Florence Griffith began racing when she was seven years old, but was forced to give up sport at nineteen in order to help support her family. Sprint coach Bob Kersee found her working as a bank teller and helped her enroll at U.C.L.A. At the 1984 Olympics, in her hometown of Los Angeles, Griffith won a silver medal at 200m, although her long (15cm) and wildly painted fingernails earned her more attention from the press than her running. After marrying 1984 triple jump Olympic champion Al Joyner, she changed her name to Florence Griffith Joyner and eventually picked up the nickname "Flojo." On 16 July 1988, at the U.S. Olympic Trials, Griffith Joyner achieved a stunning breakthrough when she ran the 100m in 10.49 seconds, obliterating Evelyn Ashford's record of 10.79. Her time was faster than the men's records in a wide range of countries, including Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and Turkey. At the Seoul Olympics, Griffith Joyner twice broke the Olympic record and then won the final easily in a wind-aided 10.54. Four days later, in the semifinals, she broke the 9-year-old world record for 200m and then, 100 minutes later, she set another world record in the final with a time of 21.34 seconds. Griffith Joyner's records for 100m and 200m have yet to be broken. At the Seoul Games, she ran in both relays, winning a third gold medal in the 4x100m and a silver in the 4x400m. In 1998, Griffith Joyner died in her sleep at the age of 38, the victim of a form of epileptic seizure that led her to suffocate. "Source: IOC" .

He competed with their track and field team throughout his college career, and by the time he graduated Al was a three-time NCAA All-American indoor champion, a three-time NCAA All-American outdoor cham- pion, a four-time Southland Conference champ and had placed 8th in the triple jump at the World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. In 1984, Al traveled to Los Angeles for the Summer Games to compete with the U.S. Olympic track and field team. With a leap of 56'-7.5", he became the first American in 80 years to win a gold medal in the triple jump. Al was also honored with the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given every four years to the best American competitor in an Olympic Field Event. That same year, Al cheered his sister Jackie Joyner Kersee as she competed in the heptathlon. When she captured a silver in the event, they be- came the first sibling teammates in U.S. history to medal during the same Olympics. On October 10, 1987 Al married track legend Florence Griffith, later known as Flo Jo. The two met in 1980 at the Olympic trials registration and felt an instant connection. Al later assisted his brother-in-law, Bob Kersee, in coaching Florence to gold medals in the 100, 200 and 400-meter relay.

  • Florence Griffith-Joyner
    Florence Griffith-Joyner "People don't pay much attention to you when you are second best. I wanted to see what it felt like to be number one." -Florence Griffith-Joyner One of the most memorable moments of Olympic history was when Florence Griffith Joyner became a track and field champion, winning 3 Gold Medals during the 1988 Seoul games. It was then that the persona known as "Flo Jo" became known worldwide. With her shiny one-legged running outfits, long hair, and brightly painted fingernails, she captured medals and the attention of the world with her speed, grace, and charm. She captured world records in track and field and was named “The World’s Fastest Woman.” President Clinton recognized her talent and appointed her as co-chair of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Florence Griffith Joyner was born Delorez Florence Griffith on December 21, in Mojave, California the seventh of eleven children. Her family nicknamed her ”Dee Dee.” At age 7 she began chasing rabbits in the housing project in South Central Los Angeles her family had moved to that year. Her mother was strict and raised her to adhere to house rules that included no television and early bedtimes. She once remarked about her home life, “The main reason I wanted to be successful was to get out of the ghetto. My parents helped direct my path.” Florence was a star adolescent athlete and student. She won the Jesse Owens National Youth Games at the Sugar Ray Robinson Youth Foundation and was a straight-A student.

    35th Conference of the International Society of Biomachanics in Sports, Cologne, Germany, June 14-18, 2017 Scientific Programme Geoffrey Dyson Award FROM MEDALS TO MUSCLES TO MOLECULES AND BACK AGAIN (DYSON LECTURE) Walter Herzog Human Performance Laboratory, Faculties of Kinesiology, Engineering, Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, University of Calgary, Canada The purpose of this abstract is to provide an overview over my career activities in the areas of muscle and sport biomechanics. I started in the area of sport biomechanics as an undergraduate student at the Federal Technical Institute in Zurich with the intention of becoming a track and field coach. During my graduate studies, I realized that the science of human motion was more fascinating to me than the possibility to coach athletes, and so I pursued a career that led me to do work on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of muscle contraction. For the past decade, I have tried to apply the knowledge gained on the molecular and cellular level to practical problems in sport and rehabilitation. One of the lessons learnt in these endeavours was that intuition is good in science, but reliance on intuition alone often leads to incorrect conclusions. Therefore, checking your intuition at all times is essential. Another lesson I learnt was that, particularly in sport science, the dramatic breakthroughs in technique and material development (Fosbury flop, skate skiing, etc.) often come from athletes and coaches rather than scientists, thus working with athletes and coaches, rather than merely using them as subjects of your studies is essential. KEY WORDS: sport biomechanics, muscle mechanics, mechanisms of muscle contraction, muscle adaptation, eccentric contraction, cellular and molecular biomechanics, running, cycling, long jumping, cross-country skiing.

Chemists have contributed to these improvements in a number of ways. For example, the design of improved materials for clothing and equipment; devising and monitoring the best methods for training for particular sports and gaining a better understanding of how energy is released from our food so ensure that athletes get the best diet.
