Olympic sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner was just as well known for her nails as her lightning-fast speed on the track. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, she set world records and drew new fans to the sport who showed up to see what she was wearing and what her manicure would look like.

Long after her untimely death in 1998, her iconic style still serves as inspiration for a whole new generation of athletes, artists and fashion designers who are carrying the torch.
