Sprint legend's records still stand after 36 years, but for how much longer?

For generations of sprinters in the women's 100 meters, 10.49 seconds is the world record they've been chasing since 1988.

For Al Joyner, it's a time he sees everywhere he looks. Like the other day, when he was contemplating putting a pair of his late wife Florence Griffith Joyner's spikes up for auction and happened to glance at the clock. It read 10:49.

"I think, at those times, she's saying, 'hello, how are you doing? I'm still here,'" Joyner said in a phone interview.
