Sports Illustrated for Women voted her the greatest female athlete of all time.  She won three gold, one silver, and two bronze Olympic medals in Track and Field in four different Olympic Games, even though she spent much of her time playing basketball and scored 1,167 points for the woman\u2019s basketball team at UCLA.  She set the world record for the heptathlon in 1988 which may never be broken.  She chose her parents and her coach well: her brother, Al Joyner, is an Olympic triple-jump champion and her coach, Bob Kersee, helped her to set world records and became her husband. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jackie Joyner-Kersee - 1988 Olympic Heptathlon\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Z-QfDiV2XA?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer;
