Florence Griffith-Joyner
She was an American
athlete born in December 21, 1959. Her nickname was Flo-Jo and her events were
Track and Field athlete and also sprint events. She had a tendinitis in her
right leg and also quadriceps muscle injuries which stopped her sports career.
She won the James E. Sullivan Award as top amateur athlete in 1988. She was
designing basketball uniforms for Indiana Pacers in 1989 as another activity
that she was engaged in. She died in her sleep of epilepsy, while others said
it was suffocation during an epileptic seizure. She was accused of using performance
enhancing drugs, growth hormones and steroids. She was 38 when she died. She
was married to Al Joyner and had one daughter, Mary Ruth Joyner, who was a
singer, dancer and musician. My favorite female sports person is Alex Morgan,
an American soccer player.
