Date: September 25, 1988
All three US runners and two Jamaicans had qualified for the final on September 25th. The starting field was completed by one runner each from the GDR, the Soviet Union and Bulgaria.
The top favorite was world record holder Florence Griffith-Joyner, whose greatest challenger she had in her compatriot Evelyn Ashford, the 1984 Olympic champion . The 1987 world champion , Silke Möller, who started at the World Championships in Rome under her maiden name Silke Gladisch. did not survive the semifinals.
Florence Griffith-Joyner was unbeatable in the final. She won three meters ahead of Ashford and the GDR athlete Heike Drechsler. Her time of 10.54 s could not be recognized as an Olympic record due to the strong tail wind . The fourth placed Jamaican Grace Jackson and the fifth Gwen Torrence from the USA undercut the 11-second mark. But even these times were not ripe for the best of the best because of a tail wind of more than 2 m / s.
