In the history of sports in the United States, there have been many excellent track and field athletes, and one of the female sprinters has left a very deep impression on sports fans. She is sweet-looking, plump, even in the game also has long hair, lipstick, long nails, such an image in the game is like a beautiful landscape, and she is not a vase, she is the world record holder, her strength is strong.
Joyna, full name Florence Griffith Joyna, is a very famous sprinter in the history of American sports, winning 4 gold medals in her career, including 3 at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, her 100 meters reached a staggering 10.49 seconds, and the 200 meters reached 21.34 seconds, these world records are still unbroken. Due to Her beautiful appearance, she is also known as the "Flower Butterfly" by the sports world.
Joyna's sprint career does not rely on talent, but entirely on her own acquired efforts. Born into a poor black family in 1959, Joyna began her exposure to athletics at the age of 7. For many poor families in the United States, learning sports is their chance to change their destiny, so Joyna, although not very talented, still embarked on the path of athletics.
In high school, Joyna left the school with many unbreakable records. However, in her sophomore year, she had to drop out of the bank because her family could not pay the tuition, which actually announced the end of her sprint career. Who knows the peak of the road, Northwich College's young track and field coach Bob Kexi helped Qiaoina apply for a scholarship, and it was Bob Kexi who used the scientific method to shape Qiaoina into a world champion.
In 1987, Joyna began devil training, running 4 miles a day, practicing leg strength in the gym during the day and doing 1,000 sit-ups in one go at night. Finally, this beautiful girl who is 1 meter 69 meters tall and weighs 59 kilograms can fully squat to hold up a 150-kilogram barbell, and can tie the 35-kilogram burden to the ankle and bend it backwards many times.
Kung Fu pays off. At the 4th Seoul Olympic Games in 1988, Joyna won three gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100 meters relay, while the records of the 100 meters and 200 meters have not been broken. This beautiful woman will quickly become the world's track and field star, and names such as "the world's first female flying woman" and "Beard Butterfly" will follow.
After shining at the Seoul Olympics, Joyna chose to retire and work in costume design, during which she also thought about making a comeback, but the old injury no longer allowed her to engage in high-intensity sports. Before the 1996 Olympics, Joyna wanted to make a comeback again, but her age and body were no longer spared.
In 1998, bad news came that Joyna died in her sleep at the age of 38. A later autopsy report announced that she had died of suffocation caused by a seizure. This "flower butterfly" brought the audience a gorgeous dance before his death, and with a breeze, the flower butterfly went away. At that time, the American flag and the IOC flag in front of the U.S. Olympic Committee headquarters building were lowered to half-mast in mourning.
