#1984Olympics

Happy Heavenly Birthday To Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner!! 🥳🎉 Flo-Jo would have turned 62 today! Please show some L💜ve for the fastest woman of all-time, track and field athlete, #FlorenceGriffithJoyner ✨ Florence Griffith Joyner ran like no woman had ever run before. She became a household name after setting world records in the 100m & 200m at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea She did it with notable flair, too. In an age where runners were told, strictly, not to wear their hair long, wear jewelry or grow long nails, Flo Jo did just those things. It didn’t make her any slower, as coaches of the era would've claimed. She was the fastest runner in the world and she was going to act like it. Four-inch, decorative nails. One-legged leotards. Long, flowing hair. It didn't matter. She became such a fashion icon that, after Griffith retired from track in 1989, she was commissioned by the #IndianaPacers to design their uniforms. The “Flo-Jo’s,” as they were lovingly named, are still an icon of 90s basketball. Griffith was part of a family that became track royalty. She married Al Joyner, gold medal winner in the triple jump during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Her sister-in-law was Jackie Joyner-Kersee, an all-time great in the heptathlon and long jump who won six Olympic medals. Griffith passed away of an epileptic seizure in 1998. She had been treated for three seizures throughout the 1990s. She was 38. To date, her 200m world and Olympic record (21.34) as well as her 100m world record (10.49) still stand. Her 100m Olympic record (10.62) was improved in 2021 at the 2020 Summer Olympics in #Tokyo by #ElaineThompsonHerah (10.61). #LosAngelos #California #1980Olympics #1984Olympics #1988Olympics #CaliforniaStateUniversity #UCLA #100Meters #200Meters #AlJoyner #TrackAndField #GoldMedal 🥇 #SilverMedal 🥈 #Olympic #FastestWomanOfAllTime #USATrackAndField #HallOfFame #FlorenceGriffithJoynerElementarySchool #MissionViejo #ArtOfTheOlympians #MostInfluentialWomenOfThePastCentury Sources: SportsIllustrated, GettyImages ✨👉🏾 Kindly FOLLOW Our New Page @wonderwombman2 (DM FOR PROMO RATES) 📬📥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXvt0gzueVf/?utm_medium=tumblr

𝕃.𝔸. ℂ𝕃𝕀ℙℙ𝔼ℝ𝕊 ℍ𝕀𝕊𝕋𝕆ℝ𝕐: ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ᴜɴɪғᴏʀᴍ 🚩 35th Season in L.A. Nike City Edition (2017 - '18) Sadly, these were only worn for a year as well. The uniforms paid tribute to the #1984Olympics that were held in Los Angeles. The @LAClippers actually celebrated the team’s 35th season in Los Angeles with jerseys that featured the “L.A.” wordmark for the first time ever! The navy blue, red and white color scheme and color blocking are inspired by the uniforms of the 1984 #TeamUSA, which won in Los Angeles and was the last amateur U.S. team to win in men's basketball. The #LA logo featured on the new City Edition jersey’s chest is created in the style of the 1984 team, with the text arranged horizontally in patriotic colors and struck through with alternating streaks. Those #CityEdition unis were worn at 6 Heart of L.A. weekend games that season as well as at select road games. ________________________________________ #BenchOnaQUEST 🏀 #LAourWay #ClipperNation (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFK9hMoF1u2/?igshid=151zzsw6ord5d

Wow! Today I meet the savior of the modern Olympic Games. Peter Victor Ueberroth is an American sports and business executive known for his involvement in the Olympics and in Major League Baseball. A Los Angeles-based businessman, he was the chairman of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee which brought the games to Los Angeles in 1984. After the conclusion of the games, he was named as the sixth Commissioner of Baseball, a role he held from 1984 to 1989. He later served as the chairman of the United States Olympic Committee from 2004 to 2008. #olympics #la2028 #olympic #mlb #baseball #roworx #timemagazine #olympichistory #1984olympics #laolympics (at Yorba Linda, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDAeWC4gHP7/?igshid=1frk01gq5viic

“EL NUEVO FUEGO”

by East Los Streetscapers

As many times as I’ve driven down Broadway in Los Angeles, and as big a fan as I am of Wayne Healy and David Botello of East Los Streetscapers, I’m not sure how I missed this 80’ tall wall until yesterday [usually driving the other direction], but happy to have found it. Painted in 1985 this was the first Los Angeles memorial of the 1984 Olympic Games hosted by the city. With 52 years between LA Olympics “The New Fire” is a reference to the Aztec tradition of extinguishing all lights every 52 years and lighting a new torch, restoring fire to the nation. While the demographics of Downtown Los Angeles have seen dramatic changes in recent years the mural highlights some of the minority athletes of the 1984 games, reflecting the makeup of the neighborhood at that time. Among the athletes represented are East LA boxer Paul Gonzales, and LA track star Valerie Brisco-Hooks.

One of my favorite murals in LA happens to be three blocks from my shop. Made of 2,300 individuals hand glazed tiles, the work measures 93’ x 24’ and is reportedly the largest tile mural ever created by a single artist working alone. ✨💪🏻⚒✨It was commissioned for the ‘84 Olympics. Well done Guillermo “Bill” Granizo. You are my hero. #ceramictiles #ceramictileart #muralsofla #1984olympics (at California State University, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpOD6lli3R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=udh2hmu3zcjl

𝕃.𝔸. ℂ𝕃𝕀ℙℙ𝔼ℝ𝕊 ℍ𝕀𝕊𝕋𝕆ℝ𝕐: ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ᴜɴɪғᴏʀᴍ 🚩 35th Season in L.A. Nike City Edition (2017 - '18) Sadly, these were only worn for a year as well. The uniforms paid tribute to the #1984Olympics that were held in Los Angeles. Overall they were nearly perfect. The “LA” font was similar to the font used back in ‘84, and it just worked. The outline on the jersey of blue and white looked so clean, and the stars down the side of the jersey was an added bonus. They look like they belong in the 60’s and 70’s, and I absolutely love it. The @LAClippers celebrated the team’s 35th season in Los Angeles with jerseys that featured the “L.A.” wordmark for the first time ever! The navy blue, red and white color scheme and color blocking are inspired by the uniforms of the 1984 #TeamUSA, which won in Los Angeles and was the last amateur U.S. team to win in men's basketball.
