Since the favorites for the medals came from Poland, the Soviet Union and the GDR, the Olympic boycott did not have too much of an impact on the competition. Candidates for the Olympic victory and top placings were above all the Polish world record holder Grażyna Rabsztyn, the 1976 Olympic champion Johanna Klier - then under her name Johanna Schaller, 1978 also European champion, vice European champion Tatjana Anissimowa and Wera Komissowa, both from the USSR, Kerstin Claus, GDR , as well as the Polish Lucyna Langer.
Rabsztyn got off to a poor start in the final and didn't really get into this race until the finish. She eventually finished fifth. Klier worked out an easy tour, but it was very tight. Komissowa passed her at the fifth hurdle. The Soviet runner had a very good day. Wera Komissowa erlief the gold medal and improved the possibility Annelie Ehrhardt's Olympic record from 1972 . In the ranks two to four, the gaps were extremely tight. Johanna Klier saved silver with a lead of two hundredths of a second, Lucyna Langer, who was later still very successful under the name Lucyna Kałek, won the bronze medal only one hundredth of a second ahead of Kerstin Claus - later Kerstin Knabe.
Lucyna Langer won the first Polish medal in the women's 100 meter hurdles .
