Wird Flo-Jo’s 100m Rekord doch noch fallen?
July 15, 2022 - July 24, 2022 - 18. IAAF Leichtathletik Weltmeisterschaft in Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, United States. Elaine Thompson-Herah wird versuchen, den 34-Jahre alten 100m Weltrekord von Florence Griffith-Joyner zu brechen.
The Jamaican sprinter, Elaine Thompson-Herah, capped a stellar 2021 by breaking Griffith-Joyner’s 100m Olympic Record en route to a historic “double double” at the Tokyo Olympics, to retain both the 100m and 200m sprint titles. Then, at a Diamond League meeting in Eugene, she posted a time of 10.54, to become the second-fastest woman of all time.
In the fastest women’s 100m races in history, Griffith-Joyner and Thompson-Herah appear seven times between them -- an emerging rivalry across the ages.
