The final brought the closest possible result. The three medal winners were only three hundredths of a second apart. The sequence could not be seen with the naked eye; the target photograph had to be used for this.
The Japanese Ikuko Yoda, who ran with a thick bandage, had the best start. The Polish Teresa Ciepły and the Australian Pamela Kilborn were almost on a par, just a little behind. Irina Press lost more and more ground, while Karin Balzer, who did not get off to a good start, made a powerful advance. Kilborn was now just ahead, but Balzer and Ciepły caught up again towards the goal. In the end Karin Balzer was a wafer-thin front and became Olympic champion ahead of Teresa Ciepły and Pamela Kilborn. All three hurdles were at the same time in 10.5 seconds. Due to the strong tail wind of 0.23 meters per second, the times could not be recognized as a world record .
Karin Balzer ran for the first German Olympic victory in this discipline.
Teresa Ciepły won the first Polish medal.
