As with the men, the 400-meter run was the first competition for women in which none of the 2002 finalists reached the final. However, there were experienced relay runners at the start. The winner Vanya Stambolowa had consolidated her role as one of the favorites in the previous rounds. The biggest surprise is that the other favorite, Olga Saizewa, “only” won bronze. The Belarusian Ilona Ussowitsch had already set a new national record with 50.74 seconds in the qualification and was fifth again in the final.
