McGuire (11.47), the favourite, Kłobukowska (11.45) and Tyus
(11.35w) were the most impressive heat winners. Tyus was best in the
second round, clocking a startling 11.23, the fastest auto time ever, to
crack Rudolph’s Olympic best. She confirmed her form next day with
a 11.40-11.42 win over Kłobukowska in the semi-finals.
Tyus was away quickly in the final, and her pick-up took her to an
impregnable lead. She won by over a metre from McGuire, with
Kłobukowska finishing quickly to overtake White for the bronze
medal, thereby depriving the USA from achieving a clean sweep.
