Jackie Joyner-Kersee is a retired American track and field athlete, ranked among the all-time greatest athletes in the heptathlon as well as long jump. She won three gold, one silver, and two bronze Olympic medals in those two events at four different Olympic Games.
Allyson Felix is the most decorated American track and field athlete of all times and one of the most beloved athletes in the sport. Felix specialized in the 200 meters sprint and gradually shifted to the 400 meters sprint later in her career. Her racing repertoire also spans the 100 meters, 4 × 100 meters relay, and 4 × 400 meters relay.
Florence Griffith Joyner, also known as Flo-Jo, was an American track and field athlete. She set world records in 1988 for both the 100 m and 200 m and those records still stand today. During the late 1980s she became a popular figure due to both her record-setting athleticism and eclectic personal style.
“As a former track and field, I grew up idolizing Allyson Felix. She made winning look so easy and she always did it with class. Jackie is one of the greats I didn’t see in her prime but I was always aware of how formidable she was. And then FloJo... the speed, the fashion, the hair. She was and still is everything! Individuality personified.
