00:1621.34 is the world and Olympic record held by Flojo Silt from 1988. Remarkable, isn't it?
00:23A lot of the women's records are so far out of reach.
00:30But I think everything would have to go perfect for those records to be broken.
00:39She was called Flojo and the fastest woman in the world after setting records for the 100 and 200 meter races in 1988.
