Tiffany Haddish has teamed with sports content studio game1 to tell the story of Florence Griffith Joyner, the Olympian track and field icon also known as Flo-Jo. Haddish will star and produce the …

Joyner took the sports world by storm in the 1980s thanks to being the fastest woman on the planet and a flashy style, culminating in record-setting sprints in the 100m and 200m races at the 1988 summer Olympics. “Fast as Flo-Jo” became a catchphrase during the Go-Go Decade even as she retired from sports a year after her wins. Joyner died at the age of 38 from an epileptic seizure. The icon was a hero to many kids, including a young Haddish.

Added Joyner: “Working with Tiffany has been a great pleasure – she is incredibly dedicated, focused, and committed to portraying the spirit of Florence accurately, whose legacy of making a difference in the world will live on for generations to come. I hope that this film touches all who see it and inspires people to be the change the world so desperately needs right now!”
