Joyner
Continued from Page 9
At the 1988 trials, where she
ran the three fastest 100-meter
times ever by a woman and set
the American record in the
200, she also set standards in
track fashion.
One eye-catching outfit was a
purple bodysuit with a turquoise
bikini brief over it, but with
nothing on her left leg, a design
she referred to as a ‘‘one-legger.”
At the Olympics, she painted
three of her fingernails red,
white and blue, and she painted
a fourth gold to signify her goal.
At the 1987 World Champi
onships in Rome, she caused a
sensation by running the first
two rounds in a skintight suit
similar to a speedskater’s togs.
Her health was a concern.
In 1996, she suffered a
seizure on an airplane flight
from California to St. Louis. She
was hospitalized for one day,
and the family requested that no
other details be released.
At the time, Griffith Joyner,
accompanied by her husband
and daughter, Mary, was en
route to the Jackie Joyner-Kersee
Relays for high school athletes.
“The Olympic family is sad
dened and stunned by her pass
ing,” U.S. Olympic Committee
president Bill Hybl said today.
“She was a role model for girls
and young women in sports and
her legacy will be one that in
cluded kindness and an interest
in children. She will be missed.”
Griffith Joyner was voted The
Associated Press Female Athlete
of the Year for 1988 and also
won the Sullivan Award as the
nation’s top amateur athlete.
After retiring from track in
the wake of the Seoul Games,
she served for a time as co-chair
of the President’s Council on
Physical Fitness.
She began designing and
modeling clothes and working
with children, both through
sports programs and a series of
books.
She was preparing for a
comeback as a 400-meter runner
in 1996 when she said an
Achilles tendon injury halted her
hopes of reaching the Olympics
in Atlanta. She said the injury
developed in March 1996.
Later in 1996, she ended a
five-year legal struggle by set
tling lawsuits against her former
lawyer and ex-manager.
Griffith-Joyner had sued Gor
don Baskin in December 1991,
claiming she hired him as a tal
ent agent but later found out
that he was unlicensed and had
prepared an unfair contract that
overcharged her.
A year later, Griffith-Joyner
sued her former lawyer, Rafael
Chodos, contending he failed
to tell her he also was Baskin’s
lawyer when he looked over
the contract.
Griffith Joyner was born Dec.
21, 1959, in south Los Angeles,
one of 11 children whose father
was an electrical technician and
mother was a teacher.
She graduated from Jordan
High School in Los Angeles in
1978, attended Cal State Los An
geles for two years, then gradu
ated from UCLA in 1983 with a
degree in psychology.
She married Al Joyner on
Oct. 10, 1987.
For many years, she was
coached by Bob Kersee, hus
band of Jackie Joyner-Kersee,
but Al acted as her coach after
the 1988 trials.
Funeral arrangements were
