Cairá finalmente o recorde dos 100m de Flo-Jo?
July 15, 2022 - July 24, 2022 - Os 18º campeonatos do Mundo de Atletismo têm lugar no Hayward Field em Eugene, Oregon, Estados Unidos. A velocista jamaicana Elaine Thompson-Herah vai tentar bater o recorde mundial dos 100m com 34 anos de Florence Griffith-Joyner nos Campeonatos do Mundo de Atletismo 2022.
The Jamaican sprinter, Elaine Thompson-Herah, capped a stellar 2021 by breaking Griffith-Joyner’s 100m Olympic Record en route a historic “double double” at the Tokyo Olympics to retain both 100m and 200m sprint titles. Then, at a Diamond League meeting in Eugene, she posted a time of 10.54, to become second-fastest woman of all time.
In the fastest women’s 100m in history, Griffith-Joyner and Thompson-Herah appear seven times between them -- an emerging rivalry across the ages.
