Two runners from the GDR and two from France each qualified for the final. The final field was completed by one athlete each from the Federal Republic of Germany, the Soviet Union, Bulgaria and Canada.
A Bulgarian duel between the world champion Ginka Sagortschewa and the world record holder Jordanka Donkowa was expected. Surprisingly, Sagortschewa did not survive the preliminary round. The favorite role was now with Donkowa. The strongest competitor should be Cornelia Oschkenat from the GDR. But she entered the final with a thigh injury and had no chance of a top placement.
After the failure of their main opponents, Jordanka Donkowa won the gold medal by a clear margin in a new Olympic record time . Silver went to GDR runner Gloria Siebert, bronze, rather surprisingly, to Claudia Zaczkiewicz, former Claudia Reidick, from the Federal Republic. Natalija Hryhorjewa from the USSR came fourth, ahead of Florence Colle from France, Julie Rocheleau from Canada and Monique Éwanjé-Épée from France. The injured Oschkenat was the last of the eight starters to cross the finish line.
Jordanka Donkowa became the first Bulgarian Olympic champion in this discipline.
