Olympic Gold Medalist Al Joyner's Encouragement For Runners

from Now I've Heard Everything · host Bill Thompson

Forty years ago9 in Los Angeles one such hero was track and field star Al Joyner. He won the gold medal in the triple jump, with a leap of an incredible 56 feet 7 and a half inches. And in 1987, he got another gold, a wedding ring when he married track star and fellow Olympic gold medalist Florence Griffith, who became known as FloJo. She wrote a book, Running For Dummies, in 1998 but died before it was published. In this 1999 interview Al Joyner shares the coaching expertise FloJo put in her book.
