All three athletes from Jamaica and two US women qualified for the final. The final field was completed by one starter each from the Bahamas, Bulgaria and Belarus.
It was not easy to find a favorite among the finalists. The Greek Ekaterini Thanou , silver medalist from Sydney , was excluded from the games along with her teammate Konstantinos Kenteris . Both deliberately missed a doping test on July 12, 2004. The Jamaican Merlene Ottey, who is now starting for Slovenia, is by far the oldest sprinter at the age of 44 and was able to qualify for the semifinals but not the finals when she took part in the Olympic Games for the seventh time. The athletes who, like the US-American Torri Edwards , Chandra Sturrup of the Bahamas, the 2011 subsequently disqualified Ukrainian Zhanna Block or the Frenchwoman Christine Arron at the last world championships had been lying in front were here in Athens either did not or had not the Form to fight for the medals again.
In the final, US athlete Lauryn Williams took the lead after the start. It was extremely tight right up to the finish line. Williams was just ahead of the Jamaican Veronica Campbell-Brown and the Bulgarian Iwet Lalowa. The other sprinters were slightly more behind. But on the second half of the track, Belarusian Julija Neszjarenka got better and better into the race. After about eighty meters, she passed all the athletes in front of her and became Olympic champion. Her lead over Lauryn Williams as the silver medalist was three hundredths of a second. Just another hundredth of a second back, the Veronica Campbell-Brown reached the finish line in third place ahead of Iwet Lalowa. The Bulgarian was three hundredths of a second short of the bronze medal. With Aleen Bailey and Sherone Simpson, two Jamaicans followed in fifth and sixth.
Julija Neszjarenka was Belarus' first Olympic champion in the women's 100-meter run .
