At the Seoul Olympics in 1988, the American sprinter Florence Griffith-Joyner was the first American woman to win four medals in a single games - golds for the 100m, the 200m and the women's 4×100m relay, and a silver for the women's 4×400m relay. She achieved world records in both her 100m and 200m which still stand to this day.

Flo-Jo, as she was nicknamed, was also famous for her flamboyant nails and unique dress sense.

In a rare interview, Flo-Jo's husband Al Joyner, remembers her achievements and premature death in 1998.
