Jamaica's Elaine Thompson says the women's 100 metres world record set 28 years ago is one of her major targets after winning the sprint double at the Rio Olympics. She became the first female since world record holder Florence Griffith-Joyner to win Olympic gold in the 100 metres and 200 metres at the same Games and she's now targeting the American's 1988 record.
