Florence Griffith-Joyner's 100 and 200 meters world records, set in 1988, are being challenged by top sprinters.
What happened?
The records, 10.49 seconds in the 100 meters and 21.34 seconds in the 200 meters, have stood for over 35 years.
Florence Griffith-Joyner's husband, Al Joyner, recalls her saying records are meant to be broken.
Why it matters for Florence Griffith-Joyner
Her records have been a benchmark for generations of sprinters, with many trying to break them.
Gabby Thomas, an American sprinter, believes the records can be broken with the current technology and competition.
What comes next?
The Paris Games this summer may see new records, with sprinters like Shericka Jackson and Elaine Thompson-Herah nearing Florence Griffith-Joyner's marks.
Jackson finished with a time of 21.41 seconds in the 200 meters at the world championships in Budapest, Hungary, last summer.
Thompson-Herah got within shouting distance of Florence Griffith-Joyner's 100 meters record with a run of 10.54 seconds in 2021.
And Al Joyner is supportive of the sprinters trying to break his wife's records.
But health may play a factor for Thompson-Herah, who appeared to be hurt at the finish line of the USATF New York City Grand Prix meet.
So the question remains, can anyone break Florence Griffith-Joyner's records?
The 37-year-old Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and American Sha'Carri Richardson are also potential contenders.
Richardson ran 10.57 seconds, showing promise for the future.
As the Paris Games approach, the world will be watching to see if anyone can finally break Florence Griffith-Joyner's records.
