Florence Joyner (Flo Jo) made waves in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. She dominated both the 100m and 200m run. For the 200m run she shattered the then World Record with a time of 21.34 seconds (a record that holds to this date) and won the Gold medal. The fact that the record has not been broken is a testament to her dominance in the sport.

Tragically, Flo-Jo passed away on September 21, 1998, at the age of 38, leaving behind a lasting legacy that continues to inspire athletes around the world.

Her 1988 200m final shoes are up on Auction at Sotheby's and is expecting to go around $100K - $200K, with bidding ending on August 2nd.
