Players Club Hall of Fame: Florence Griffith-Joyner

Florence Griffith-Joyner is not just the most iconic track and field athlete of the '80s, she's still the fastest woman in the world at the 100 and 200 meters. And that's posthumously, twenty four years later. She had clean drug tests all the way until the very end, so the haters are just gonna have to hate or train harder.

Even as she was running faster than was believed physically possible, Flo-Jo was styling on the whole planet every time she stepped into the blocks. The hair, the nails and the custom one-legged outfits are forever emblazoned on sports culture.

Flo-Jo, it is an honor to include you in the Axel F Players Club. May you rest in peace, may your world records push athletes to higher level of achievement, and may your lasting influence continue to allow women athletes to be fly girls as well as elite competitors.
