Farewell To A Champ With Style

She was the fastest woman in the world. With her long, graceful stride and long, colorful fingernails, Florence Griffith-Joyner brought style and flash to the 1988 Olympic track and field events in Seoul, South Korea. She took home three gold medals. Last week, "Flo-Jo" died at age 38. Doctors were not sure what caused her death.

Griffith-Joyner still holds world records in the 100- and 200-meter dashes.
