We might excuse Florence Griffith Joyner for this howler considering it was the 80s.
But seriously this one-legged design could only be for fashion and not for performance, with the improved aerodynamics likely to be minimal.
However, as it was heavily insinuated she didn’t need to cut down on wind resistance.
But Flo Jo marched the beat of her beat of her own drum and given she was the poster girl of athletics at the time, it’s surprising that more did not follow her lead.
