Florence Griffith Joyner celebrates her Olympic victory. Flo-Jo dies at 38.
Florence Griffith Joyner, triple gold medalist at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, has died at the age of 38. The American sprinter apparently suffered a heart seizure at her home in Mission Viejo, California.

Griffith Joyner, known by her fans as Flo-Jo, captivated the world with her phenomenal speed and flamboyant style but her rapid improvement and her tremendous physique .Famous fingernails. Known for her self-designed running uniforms and six-inch painted fingernails, she also won a 1984 Olympic silver medal in the heptathlon and 1992 bronze medal in the long jump.
She was the wife of 1984 Olympic triple-jump gold medalist Al Joyner and the sister-in-law of Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the six-time Olympic medalist and world heptathlon record-holder.
Griffith Joyner set women's 100 and 200-metre world records in 1988.

Florence Griffith Joyner in action
Griffith Joyner first captured the headlines with an amazing series of runs in the US Olympic trials in 1988 and became the first woman to run the 100m in 10.49 seconds.

At Seoul she won the 100m in a wind-assisted 10.54, then set two world records at the 200m, running the semi-final in 21.56 and the final in 21.34.
White acknowledges the crowd when the Packers retired his number in 1999 -- then he unretired and played for Carolina in 2000.

Reggie White, a fearsome defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers who was one of the great players in NFL history, has died. White turned 43 on Dec. 19. White had a respiratory ailment for several years that affected his sleep.
A two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and ordained minister who was known as the "Minister of Defense," White played a total of 15 years with Philadelphia (1985-92), Green Bay (1993-98) and Carolina (2000). He retired after the 2000 season as the NFL's all-time leader in sacks with 198. The mark has since been passed by Bruce Smith.
A member of the NFL's 75th anniversary team, White was elected to the Pro Bowl a record 13 straight times 1986-98. He was the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 1987 and 1998.
"He was just a wonderful player, first of all, as a player," said Seattle coach Mike Holmgren, who coached White at Green Bay. "Then as a person, he was just the best. He was one of the leaders, along with Brett Favre, of our football team in Green Bay. I'm a better person for having been around Reggie White."
White earned Favre's respect on and off the field.
"He may have been best player I've ever seen and certainly was the best I've ever played with or against," the Green Bay quarterback said Sunday. "Off the field, he did so much for so many people. He really reached a lot of people. ... He was a great friend on and off the field. We'll all miss him."
After an All-American senior season at Tennessee, White began his pro career with the Memphis Showboats of the USFL in 1984. He joined the Philadelphia Eagles, who held his NFL rights, after the USFL folded in 1985. For eight years, he was as an integral piece in Philadelphia's "Gang Green Defense."
White played a key role in free agency -- he was one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that led to the current system.
White signed as a free agent with Green Bay in 1993 for $17 million over four years. The Packers made consecutive Super Bowl appearances, including a win over New England in 1997, when White set a Super Bowl record with three sacks.
Fame player and possibly the best defensive lineman ever to play the game."

SO WHY IT'S SO GREAT TO BE IN SHAPE AGAIN....
