Why did the world fall in love with you, FloJo?
"I don't know," she said, smiling back at the reporter who asked the question.
Al steps in. He wants to answer the question. He knows why.
"When she won the gold medal," Al said, "she shared it with the world. And, also, on the mile relay, when everyone else was getting ready to run, my wife was praying. A lot of people remember that."
For a brief second, there is silence in the room. Memories of FloJo praying on the track, her performance in the Olympics, her grace and her character appear.
No memories of Mike or Robin. No Don King crowding the room with undefinable words. No Trump, person or tower.
Just Al and FloJo. The images of Seoul. The dreams of Barcelona.
And America's classiest sports couple.
