@Ras09true Not a big jump eh... her best time in 1979, when she was a 200 meter specialist, was just under 23.00 seconds, she ran to a bronze the next year at the Moscow games, with a 22.20.. that is quite a jump, and she used drugs throughout her career...

@karrtt1234 Who's covering for the jamaicans today?

You just go 'head and bring it then, Ms. Brisco!! Most people forget FloJo was the silver medalist here...4 years prior to her WR's! They both team up again on the '88 Olympic 4x400--an epic race vs USSR where they set the American Record that still stands...

well done kathy! i guess ottey was the true champion! would have loved 2 see the east germans beat the americans in L.A!

@zim83 Well, in her defense, she hadnt run two years before because she had a baby. She also did keep up her form because she was 4th in the 88 olympics and won a silver on the relay. She had a long career actually.

Valerie Brisco-Hooks' wins were SO suspicious. She virtually came out of nowhere to claim those golds, then went back to relative obscurity again. Nowadays she looks like a whale, by the way, according to some news on Kersee I read recently (not that it matters, I just thought I'd write about it).
@bigpaulothe1st Yes it was and considering that the 3 girls in front of her here, are all drug users, maybe Flo and Val were not caught in competition, but they had the benefit of the USTA covering for the cheaters all through the 80's and most of the 90's.
