Summary

The 1988 Olympic champion and world record holder Jackie Joyner-Kersee from the USA was the clear favorite for this heptathlon . The only woman who had also surpassed the 7000 point mark by then, the Russian Larissa Nikitina , was absent due to an injury. Other medal candidates were the European champion from 1990 Sabine Braun from Germany, in the absence of Joyner-Kersee 1991 also world champion , and the Russian Irina Belowa, who competed here for the united team.

Joyner-Kersee took the lead with her 12.85 seconds in the first discipline, the 100 meter hurdles . The Romanian Liliana Năstase surprisingly ran the second best time and was only a hundredth of a second slower than Joyner-Kersee. The Bulgarian Swetla Dimotrowa, Braun and Belowa followed behind.

In the second exercise, the high jump , Braun achieved a new Olympic best with 1.94 m in an all-around competition. But Joyner-Kersee was not far behind with 1.91 m. Braun had reduced her gap to the US athlete by 37 points to 21 points. Belowa followed 78 points behind Braun in third place.

Birgit Clarius from Germany was the best shot putter . With her performance of 15.33 m, she was able to improve to sixth place in the overall classification. Braun reduced their gap to Joyner-Kersee by six to fifteen points. Năstase pushed past Belowa into third place.

Joyner-Kersee ran the fastest time over 200 meters with 23.12 seconds . She increased her lead on Braun, who scored 24.27 s, to 127 points. Belowa was now eighteen points behind Braun in third place, who made up ninety points with her 23.34 s time. Fifteen points behind Belowa was Năstase in fourth place. Clarius fell back to tenth, while her teammate Peggy Beer improved to eighth.

Joyner-Kersee, Olympic champion in this discipline from 1988, was also the best in the long jump with 7.10 m. It was the competition's only 7-meter jump. She skipped the third attempt. Belowa achieved the second best distance with 6.82 m. Braun got stuck at 6.02 m, which was rather weak for her, and fell back to fourth place behind Belowa and Năstase. Braun was 125 points behind in third place, while Joyner-Kersee extended their lead to 239 points.

The French Nathalie Teppe achieved a new Olympic record with a javelin throw of 52.58 m in an all-around competition. With 51.12 m, Braun threw the third-best distance behind the British Clova Court. No other participant exceeded the 50-meter mark. Joyner-Kersee had to be modest with 44.98 m, but remained ahead of Belowa, who came to only 41.90 m. The lead of the American on Belowa grew to 298 points. Braun passed the Romanian Năstase. The Romanian had reached 41.30 m. Braun came within sixty points of Belowa and was 65 points ahead of Năstase.

In the final 800 meter run Belowa was the fastest female heptathlete with 2: 05.08 min. She was able to make up 99 m points on Joyner-Kersee, which was by far not enough to become an Olympic champion. Jackie Joyner-Kersee was able to run reasonably relaxed with 2: 11.78 minutes to her second gold medal in the heptathlon and her third Olympic victory overall. She was the only heptathlete to surpass the 7000 point mark. Irina Belowa came second and won the silver medal. Liliana Năstase finished with the eighth best time of 2: 11.22 minutes. Sabine Braun achieved 2: 14.35 minutes, which was enough to defend her bronze medal. She was thirty points ahead of fourth. Peggy Beer - 2: 09.49 min - and Birgit Clarius - 2: 08.83 min - showed strong mileage in this final discipline. In the heptathlon final, Swetla Dimitrova was fifth, Peggy Beer sixth and Birgit Clarius was seventh ahead of Polish Urszula Włodarczyk.
