Was this faster than Flo-Jo?

OLYMPIC 100m champion Elaine Thompson-Herah said she could have run faster if she hadn’t celebrated by pointing at the clock — but might she already be the

fastest woman of all time? Florence Griffith Joyner’s world record of 10.49secs, run in 1988, has long been debated due to a suspected faulty wind gauge.

Any race with more than 2m/secs wind speed is

deemed ineligible for records. The wind gauge recorded 0.0m/secs for Griffith Joyner’s worldrecord race, despite it being a blustery day and recording times well over 2m/secs for other races. Thompson-Herah, who won in 10.61secs, will have to make do with breaking FloJo’s Olympic record of 10.62secs for now.
