Whenever a post about styles involving ladies are made, some shallow, small minded people will be shouting "olosho", whatever their problem with the female gender or they are just finding news ways of being stupid 10 Likes 1 Share |

The more reason why I love Franny. She so much embraced her famine nature and on top of it, she is also a wonderful player. She, Ebi,Okobi and few others are the proud women in that team. Others prefer to appear and act like men. |

So after contending with sex styles posters and fake bet9ja fixed game sellers on every front-page articles here, so the new one we have to contend with now is fake money rituals babalawo. So unfortunate what Nairaland has been turned into. |

lefulefu: OdefaGirl:That is Superwoman, the late great Florence Griffith Joyner (Flo Jo). She was my favourite female athlete from 1987-1989 and she's also the fastest woman ever. My brother and I had an argument because of her. He believed that no woman could run as fast as she did, therefore she must have been on drugs. I did not believe that she was on drugs. Flo Jo set a new world record for the 100m in the semi-final of the US Olympic trials in 1998. She broke that record again in the final. At the time my brother said that nobody will break that record in the next 100 years because it is impossible for a woman to run that fast. He might be correct about the 100 years claim because nobody has broken the record 31 years later. She also broke the 200m record in the semi-final of the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea and broke the record again in the final. I nicknamed her Superwoman because she was very fast. Some people often claimed that she was using performance enhancing drugs, but the head of the IOC drug programme said that they tested her more than other athletes, because of her amazing performance, but she never tested positive for drugs. The rumours surfaced again in 1998 when she died due to an epileptic seizure, but the coroner said that no drugs were found in her system. Some people point to her rapid improvement in 1987 as evidence that she was on drugs, but I disagree. She changed coaches at that time and her husband became her coach. She also had more time to practice. She was a part-time athlete prior to 1987. She worked as a bank clerk because she couldn't sustain herself with the money she made from running, but she got a new manager in 1987 and he got her more money and she quit her bank job. Superwoman also had superstar relatives. Her husband, Al Joyner had been a track star and he became her coach. Her sister-in-law was super heptathlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Jackie's husband was Bob Kersee (Flo Jo's former coach). What always amazed me about Flo Jo was her amazing outfits. I used to watch her races just to see what she would wear. I was further amazed when I discovered that she made her outfits herself. She also had incredibly long nails, but that did not get as much attention until Gail Devers began copying her in the early 1990s. Flo Jo was part of a line of incredibly fast and beautiful American female 100m and 200m athletes in the 1980s and 1990s. It started with Evelyn Ashford in 1980-1984, continued with Flo Jo in 1988 and with Gwen Torrence in 1990-1994 and ended with Marion Jones in 1996-2000. Some children angered me last year. Beyonce imitated Flo Jo and some children that had probably not been born when Flo Jo was breaking records claimed that Beyonce made her famous. Flo Jo was the most famous female athlete on the planet in the late 1980s and only a crazy person will claim that Beyonce made her famous.

No one can run that fast! The air must be doing something to the electronics". Flo Jo breaks the 100m world record in the final of the 1988 US Olympic trials. She had previously broken the world record in the semi-final. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVSmPBLnSXY 8 Likes 3 Shares |

@naptu2 On Flo Jo Flamboyant? Yes. Ticks all the box. Favourite? Why? Juiced up, steroid-induced records, overnight speedstar over hitherto faster contemporaries like Evelyn Ashford, Gail Devers and co, sudden drastic muscular and physique build, quits the game at her prime when questions were being asked of her and the vultures were circling, dies suddenly some years after of undisclosed illness. The story of Florence Griffith Joyner. You wonder why her record will never be broken? Guy, all those records na scam. Abeg choose another favourite |

BENEAMATA:oops , my bad ,actually the incident at the olympics occured between PATIENCE AVRE and MIA HAMM and that was long before ordega burst into limelight . According to the then american captain , while lying prone after a particularly robust tackle from the all action, also U.S based avre , she stood over the then mother of two and asked " how's your baby ? "!. in a striking siilarity , patience avre was also the pretty , fashion concious , hardworking winger in the super falcon's team then . plus they both have identical shape of forehead . |

Abeg the important thing about sports is if u can deliver.Whether u make long hair ooo & wear makeup or u cut ur short hair and carry plain face;I don't freaking care;just be a good player and do what u were sent for.. Personally I even prefer female players that haven't lost their feminity..and Ordega is one of them..So that's a plus on her part; to be able to combine a male-dominated sports and still look and behave like a woman. |

Bro, your brother was probably right. Flo Jo was doping at a time when American athletes could dope and get away with it. I'm pretty certain doping contributed to her untimely death. naptu2: |

Once you look at every thing in life with critic and not love , especially women, You are the child of hate. A child of love accepts anyone irrespective of his/her choice. Only God can Judge. We know a country where women are still controlled and not allowed to drive car |
