Marie-Josée Perec did that slightly earlier,
and Valerie Brisco-Hooks 12 years earlier. Johnson

time.

She was aiming for five gold medals at Sydney. In the sprints she was further
ahead of the field than anyone dared believe, but her technique let her down
in the long jump. On the final day, it was technique yet again that left
her with only bronze, when her teammates proved far worse at the relays than
the Jamaicans and Bahamians. Jones made up for it in the 4x400 metres though,
when it was her third leg that laid the foundation for an emphatic win. After
confessing to taking illegal substances, the IOC stripped her of all titles
and performances in December 2007

Her mother had named her after the Mrs. Kennedy because she knew her daughter
would later become 'first lady' at something. At college, after she had already
set the Illinois long jump record, she concentrated on basketball, until
she met Bob Kersee, who pushed her back to track and field and whom she married
on 11/1/1986. In 1986, she set two world heptathlon records and in 1987 became
world champion with a third and still only total over 7000 points. Also in
1988 she took a share of the world long jump record.
Injury prevented her from competing in the Atlanta heptathlon.
She had an unsuccessful stint in Professional Basketball after Atlanta but
returned to the track early in 1997.
World Champion at Long Jump in 1987 and 1991, at heptathlon in 1987 and
1993.
