Delyth Lloyd and Ade Adedoyin take a look back at the life and career of Florence Griffith-Joyner, one of the most flamboyant track and field athletes of all time.

Over three decades ago, she broke the women’s 100m world record, a mark which still stands today, while she was also an icon off the track.

We discuss her legacy with athletes who competed against her and contemporaries who were inspired by her - Grace Jackson, Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn and Dawn Harper-Nelson.

We’ll also look at whether the record could be broken in 2022, with Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelley-Ann Fraser Pryce pushing each other ahead of the World Championships in Oregon.
