Run a race and throw them far away. 1978 When she graduated from Jordan Middle School in Los Angeles, she left many school records of sprint and long jump. When she was a sophomore at Northridge College in California, she dropped out of school to work in a bank because she couldn't afford the tuition, until Bob Kersey, a young track and field coach at Northridge College, helped her apply for a scholarship. It was Bob Kersey who shaped her into a hero in a scientific way.
From 1987, Cojna decided to practice hard. Every morning, she runs four miles with her husband. During the day, she often exercises her leg strength in the gym. In the evening, she does 65,438+0,000 sit-ups. Earl will give her a 60-minute massage before going to bed. Cojna, who worked hard for a year, finally stood out. Not to mention her speed, there is an amazing improvement in strength alone. This girl, who is 1.69 meters tall and weighs 59 kilograms, can lift a barbell of 1.50 kilograms, tie a weight of 35 kilograms to her ankle and bend backwards many times.
In track and field of Seoul Olympic Games, Kojna won the women's 100 meter gold medal in Seoul Olympic Games with a time of 10.49 seconds. In the previous Olympic trials, she set a world record of women's 100 meter, which was 100 second. After Bi Meng's mythical "Leap of the Century" was miraculously refreshed at the turn of the century, people saw Koina's "Run of the Century" again. It seems that only Koina can bring this achievement to 2 1 century. Only she is the first "fast girl" in the world today. At the Seoul Olympic Games, in less than two hours, Koina broke Koch's nine-year world record in the 200-meter race in the former German Democratic Republic twice and won the gold medal again with an absolute advantage of 2 1.34 seconds. Two days later, the "black beauty" and her teammates set another world record of 4× 100 meters for women, becoming the only track and field star who won three gold medals and set two world records in this Olympic Games.
1987 10 June10 Florence Griffith and Al Kojna got married in Las Vegas. The wedding process included dozens of photos and several photo albums of the Cojna couple in Vanus apartment in California. This is a record of her solemn and sacred moment.
1988 After retiring, Cojna engaged in fashion design, guided children's sports and practiced marathons. 1996 Before the Olympic Games, she even wanted to come back, but her illness and years of Achilles tendon injury made her give up her plan.
The prodigy is dead.
1September 2, 9981day, Koina died suddenly at home at the age of 38. The death of this amazing woman shocked the international stage. Flags were flown at half-mast in front of the headquarters building of the United States Olympic Committee. After hearing the news, President Clinton said, "Her speed makes us dizzy, and her genius makes us ashamed. Although she stands at the top of the world sports world, she has devoted countless energy and resources to helping children. " Sprint superstar Lewis said: "People are still trying to get close to her 10 record, which is a human legend. Her death is a misfortune in track and field, a great misfortune. "
Cojna's husband Earle asked for an autopsy on his wife's body to find out the cause of death. Earl is the triple jump champion of the 1984 Olympic Games. This morning, when he called his sleeping wife, he found that she was "unresponsive and stopped breathing", and Koina died in her sleep. It is reported that Koina suffered from heart disease, and the estimated cause of death was sudden death due to myocardial infarction. She had a heart attack on the plane two years ago.
IAAF President Nebiolo said in Brussels: "I will never forget how this outstanding athlete shocked the world 10 years ago. What makes me sad is that her life passed away as quickly as her game. "
Haebler, president of the US Olympic Committee, said: "The Olympic family deeply mourned her death. She is a role model for young athletes and we will always miss her. " After Koina retired, there were rumors that the muscular girl took stimulants, but the drug test proved her innocence. Although Koina has left, her world record of 10.49 seconds is likely to be difficult to set again.
Griffith Kojna's sudden death immediately reminded many people of steroids, believing that taking banned drugs was the reason for her untimely death at the age of 38. Many people who have come into contact with her say that her voice is horrible, like a man. But her husband Earle revealed that his wife died of a heart attack. On September 22nd, Bob Kersey, Koina's former coach and Jesse Koina's husband, said that Koina didn't die of the above two reasons. "Her death is very mysterious". Da Qiao was Cauchy's coach. After Cauchy and Joe (Jessie Koina) get married, Da Qiao takes her husband Earl as her teacher. This family is all masters of sports, and Cauchy is a generation of handsome men. 1992 Barcelona Olympic women 100 meter champion devers and other famous players are all his students.
Kexi said that Earl told him that the day before Koina died, she was "a little tired" and wanted to go to bed early. In addition, "she has no symptoms of illness or discomfort." Before that, she took part in a gymnastics competition and then went to visit her mother. Greg Cojna is the chairman of the American Sports and Bodybuilding Committee. She is big and energetic. She once advertised for health products. Referring to her heart attack on the plane two years ago, Cauchy said that she was hospitalized that night and the doctor found nothing. "We are also mysterious about this," Cauchy said.
Koina died peacefully in her sleep, which surprised her husband. There was no painful expression on her face, and she was not distorted by lack of blood supply. Earl used to wake his wife up when the morning light lit up the bedroom, but Koina had died. Earl found his wife lying face down on the bed, her head tilted to the right, and a hand under her neck.
"We don't know the cause of her death, whether she had a heart attack or whether she took steroids," said Halberlin, a professor of cardiology in new york. The doctor said that the whole autopsy process will take several weeks, and even a comprehensive examination may not be able to answer these questions. Halberlin revealed that heart disease is the deadliest disease in the United States. The expert said: "taking steroids is certainly harmful, but that kind of injury does not mean that it will lead to heart disease." Steroids act on the adrenal gland, which can increase weight, while for women, it can change the reproductive organs and grow chest hair. "
Another doctor named Field thinks that Koina's muscle posture may not be caused by taking steroids, which is related to her strength, bodybuilding training and diet. Cojna's femininity has always been obvious. In addition, she became pregnant after retiring from the Olympic Games, and her daughter is now 8 years old. Kojna's sister-in-law, the heptathlon world record holder, called on everyone to wait until the autopsy results were announced, and not to vilify the deceased for no reason. "It is not appropriate to say irresponsible things at this time. I know there are many rumors now, "Jesse Coiner said angrily.
A spokesman for the Orange County Police Department in California said on September 23rd that the initial autopsy of gold medal sprinter Griffith Cojna failed to find out the cause of death of the legendary athlete who won three gold medals in the Olympic Games.
Hundreds of mourners have been standing in front of the Los Angeles church since the early hours of September 25th, waiting to say goodbye to Joinet's body, which died suddenly on Monday.
Cojna, 38, was lying in the coffin of the church, covered with silk and surrounded by flowers. Her waterfall-like black hair sets off her calm cheeks, her lips are painted with lipstick, and her long nails are as gorgeous as colorful Yun Ni. Letters of condolence from all over the world piled up in a mound, and her 7-year-old daughter Mary lay quietly beside her mother's coffin. In the solemn church, sorrows and sorrows linger and candlelight shines. Koina didn't seem to leave, but she still smiled among the flowers.
10 years 10 On October 23rd, American doctors confirmed that Koina died of suffocation due to epileptic seizures while sleeping at night.
After the autopsy, it was confirmed that there was no evidence that Koina died because of taking stimulants, and the sudden seizure of epilepsy would lead to abnormal blood vessels, thus triggering a chain reaction. The doctor confirmed that Koina's left forebrain was partially abnormal. About a quarter of the population in the United States has different degrees of abnormality in the left forebrain. Some people never know that they have this abnormal disease, but some people often have headaches because of this abnormal disease. Before her death, she took Tylenol, a painkiller, and diphenhydramine, an antiallergic drug, both of which can be bought in pharmacies.
Explaining the cause of her death, the doctor said that when she was sleeping, the seizure made her limbs stiff and her head tilted to the right. At this time, the quilt and pillow restricted her breathing and suffocated. Pharmacologists also confirmed after the autopsy that joiner did not take banned drugs and her heart was normal. Among 200 Americans, 1 suffers from epilepsy, which is caused by many reasons, such as brain injury, brain infection, drug influence, chemical imbalance in the body and so on. Some people are born with epilepsy, while others are acquired. Some people lose consciousness when they are sick, others are awake and have different symptoms.
Foukumoto, a forensic doctor in Orange County, California, revealed: "In the words of ordinary people, she didn't breathe and died of suffocation." The forensic doctor said that according to expert analysis, Kojena must have slept with her abdomen down that day. The sudden seizure of epilepsy caused her limbs to twitch, her head was skewed, her mouth and nose were blocked by pillows, and she finally died of suffocation.
What really "killed" Koina was actually a small hemangioma. It lurks in her heart. This is consistent with Koina's complaint about migraine symptoms before her death, which is also the reason why she suffered from asthma before her death.
Autopsy expert Seth said: "The examination showed that Gerhard Joyner had a congenital cavernous hemangioma in his left frontal lobe. People with this tumor are quite common, with an average of 25 out of every 65,438+000 people, but many people will not notice it all their lives, and some people will have headaches and epilepsy. " Saes stressed that joiner's hemangioma has nothing to do with taking any illegal drugs because it is congenital. "After the most complicated tests and examinations, the autopsy showed that joiner's death had nothing to do with taking illegal drugs," he stressed. Virus tests showed that joiner took painkillers and antihistamines before going to bed. "These two drugs have nothing to do with illegal drugs," said Fitz Putik, head of the forensic team. According to expert analysis, Koina probably had a headache that night.
After Koina died on September 2 1 day, the investigation lasted for nearly a month in order to find out the cause of his sudden death. When Cojna's family learned the autopsy results, they drafted a statement, which was read by their lawyer at the press conference. The statement said: "We thank the autopsy team for their careful and meticulous work. The autopsy report ended the doubt and relieved our sadness. The final result shows that no matter now or in the past, Koina's death has nothing to do with steroids. Her achievements are impeccable. As family members, we are very sad and thank you for your sympathy. Let us, and even the whole world, remember the loveliness of this outstanding woman. "
While uncovering the mystery of Koina's sudden death, the rumor that she took stimulants was also broken. According to experts, after the death of people who have taken steroids, traces can be found through autopsy. In this way, there is only one explanation for the mystery of Koina 10.49 second world record: prodigy.
