Re: Are some of these Olympians a little too made up?

I was going to say that the author must not have watched the 1988 Seoul games.
If she had, she would surely remember Flo Jo - the American woman that set the women's 100 and 200-metre world records in 1988. She also won a 1984 Olympic silver medal in the heptathlon and 1992 bronze medal in the long jump.

Flo-Jo was known for her self-designed running uniforms and six-inch painted fingernails.

By the way, the author is trashing the four Australian women. Wonder if this is case of sour grapes?
