Who won three gold medals at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and also won the Sullivan Award in March, 1990?
Janet Beth Evans (born August 28, 1971) is an American former competition swimmer who specialized in distance freestyle events. Evans was a world champion and world record-holder, and won a total of four gold medals at the 1988 and the 1992 Olympics.
At the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, she won three individual gold medals, and she also earned the nickname "Miss Perpetual Motion." In these Olympics, Evans set a new world record in the 400-meter freestyle event. This record stood for 18 years until France's Laure Manaudou broke it in May 2006.
Janet Evans was the 1989 recipient of the James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States.

I’m confused , you ask the question, 3 gold medal winner in Soeul Olympics and Sullivan award winner in 1990 and then you confirm that Janet Evans picks up the Sullivan award in 1989, which is wright, but you’re question is wrong and it’s compounded by the fact that Flo Jo also won 3 golds and the subsequent Sullivan award in ‘88

Very badly worded question and extremely poor research and quality checking.

Michael Baker, Joyner did not win the Sullivan award and John Smith was not among the choices.
Matthew Jochim
She won the Sullivan Award in 1989

Michael Baker, Correct but Flo-Jo did not win the Sullivan award. Also correct with John Smith winning the 1990 Sullivan award which was awarded to him in 1991.

Mike Reidy, The question does not say she won the Sullivan award in 1990. It says she was awarded the Sullivan award in March 1990. If you have any idea about awards they are always given the following year.
Michael Baker
Bad question. Flo-jo also won 3 and John Smith won the Sullivan Award in 1990.
