The women's 100-meter run at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich was held on September 1 and 2, 1972 in the Munich Olympic Stadium. 47 athletes took part.
Renate Stecher from the GDR became Olympic champion . She won in a new world record time ahead of Australian Raelene Boyle and Cuban Silvia Chivás .
Annegret Richter , Ingrid Mickler-Becker and Elfgard Schittenhelm started for the Federal Republic of Germany (officially Germany). Mickler-Becker and Schittenhelm made it to the semi-finals and were eliminated there. Richter made it to the final and was fifth there.
In addition to Olympic champion Stecher, Evelin Kaufer and Ellen Strophal competed for the GDR . Both failed in the quarterfinals.
Runners from Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein did not take part.
Existing records
In these years, electronic timekeeping was already used at many events. However, the records were usually still held in tenths of a second. They were a mixture of hand-timed and rounded electronically determined times. Since the times measured by hand timing turned out to be one to two tenths of a second better due to the reaction times of the referees, they also began to keep separate, purely electronically determined record overviews.
The first electronically guided world record in the 100-meter run was Wyomia Tyus ' time of 11.08 s in her Olympic victory in 1968 . According to the rules in force in 1968, this performance was shown hand-stopped with 11.0 s. However, since there was also electronic timekeeping in this race, the performance was later only performed on this basis. When applying the rounding rules, this resulted in a value of 11.1 seconds. Since in the meantime some runners had achieved an official 11.0 seconds, Tyus was no longer listed as a world record holder in the lists shown after tenths of a second.
The following two overviews show the world and Olympic records separately, on the one hand on the basis of manual timekeeping, and on the other hand from the purely electronically determined values.

The favorites were v. a. the European champion from 1971 and world record holder Renate Stecher from the GDR and the Australian Olympic champion from 1968 , Raelene Boyle.
Renate Stecher had the best start in the final and was in the lead from the start. She lived up to her role as a favorite and won the gold medal by a clear margin. Raelene Boyle came in second and was a hundredth of a second ahead of Cuban bronze medalist Silvia Chivás. The American Iris Davis came fourth, ahead of the German runner Annegret Richter.
The winning time was a new world record for electronically measured values - Wyomia Tyus was a hundredth of a second slower when she won the Olympic Games in Mexico City . However, the world record rounded to the nearest tenth of a second remained unaffected. A distinction must also be made with regard to the classification of the winning time as an Olympic record . In terms of electronic measurement, Renate Stecher set a new Olympic record. According to the regulation of rounding to tenths of a second, which is still valid for records, the Olympic record was set with 11.1 s.
Renate Stecher achieved the first Olympic victory for a GDR athlete over 100 meters .
Silvia Chivás won the first Cuban medal in this discipline. Chivás was also the first Cuban woman to win a medal in an individual sport.
