Griffith Joyner had developed, at the age of 28, from being a top sprinter in 1987 capable of 10.90-11.00 on her best days, to 10.60-10.70 in 1988. She ran an unbelievable 10.49 in the US Trials, which was ratified as a world record although felt by many to be wind-assisted. Nevertheless, she had the next-fastest run, 10.61, and was considered unbeatable for Seoul. She duly set an Olympic record in the heats with 10.88, which Ashford equalled in the second round. In the next race “Flo-Jo” ran 10.62, beating Cuthbert and 1980 winner Kondratyeva by 4m. Ashford (10.99) and Griffith Joyner (10.70w) won their semi-finals. The final saw Flo-Jo superior in every department. Her reaction time was the quickest at 0.131 seconds, and by 40m she was threatened only by Nuneva, who was 0.02 seconds behind. Nuneva (who was confusingly listed under her unfamiliar married name of Vechernikova) pulled a muscle just before 80m, and hobbled across the line in last place. Up ahead, Griffith Joyner had switched gears at 60m, and her advantage of 0.12 seconds at 60m more than doubled in the next 30m to 0.26 seconds. With a high knee lift and a long stride which made her look almost as though she was prancing Flo-Jo was unlike any other woman sprinter before or since. A huge smile creased her face for the last 20m of the race, and she crossed the line with her 48th stride of the race nearly 3m ahead of Ashford, who got away from Drechsler in the last 15m.
