At the time of Seoul, Joyner-Kersee possessed the top five marks of all-
time, with four over 7100, almost 200 points ahead of the next best.
JJK lost no time in impressing the crowd with her 12.69 hurdles, with
John running a fine 12.85. Joyner-Kersee then topped the high jump
with 1.86, and only lost ground to the previous world record holder
with her shot of 15.80, as compared to the GDR star’s 16.23. At this
point Joyner-Kersee led by 73 points. She then ran a superb 22.56 to
gain more than 100 points over John’s good 23.05. She was 103 points
behind her world record score at the US Trials, but made up 92 of that
margin with an Olympic record of 7.27 in the long jump. Her 45.66
javelin lost ground only to Shubenkova (47.46) and her world record as
she now trailed her record score by 97 points. Following the three GDR
stars and Shubenkova she ran her lifetime best of 2:08.51 and broke her
world record by 76 points with 7291, winning by almost 400 points
from John, with Behmer a close third with 6858.
Twelve years later, Joyner Kersee’s score remained the best and will
continue to do so well into the millennium with the advent of the new
specification of javelin.
