Question

Who was faster Jackie Joyner Kersee or Florence Griffith Joyner?

Answer 1

To tall guy - It was never proved that they did steroids, you fish-eyed fool.



You can not compare the two ladies. Flo-Jo was a sprinter. Jackie did the heptathlon.

Answer 2

Flo Jo was faster 10:49 in the 100m. Jackie was a Hep athlete who when doing individual events did the 100m hurdles and long jump. Flo only did the 100m and 200m

Answer 3

FloJo was a sprinter whereas Jackie did the heptathlon and was not as fast but was versatile and strong.

Answer 4

FGJ was definetly faster- I don't beleive they ever competed head to head but in terms of overall times during races I think Joyner consistently had the better times

Answer 5

Depends who and when they are using steroids (!)

Answer 6

Flo Jo's 100m & 200m PRs are the current WRs of 10.49 (this mark is suspected to be highly wind-assisted, but the wind-gauge malfunctioned and showd up as 0.0 - her next best 'legal' wind time was 10.61] & 21.34



I cannot recall JJK's 100m PR, but her 200m PR was 22.30 which would leave her far behind Flo-Jo's best 200m efforts



In a nutshell: Flo-Jo was much faster than JJK. JJK was a greater all-rounder than Flo-Jo
