| Qualifiying A Standard: 6000 pts, Qualifiying B Standard: 5750 pts. |
World Champion Eunice Barber and Denise Lewis were the most highly regarded from their scores of 6842 and 6831 earlier in the season,
but Barber was injured in July, and the third possible winner – reigning champion Ghada Shouaa – also had injury problems. Shouaa failed to finish the hurdles, but Barber ran an event-leading 12.97, backing it up with 1.84 to share the high jump lead.
Things then went downhill for the Frenchwoman as she put 11.27 against Lewis’s 15.55. She was then more than a second down on her 200m best and retired injured after one poor long jump on the second day. Sazanovich had led from the shot on, heading the field with 3903 after day one, with Roshchupkina (3872) and Lewis (3852) the closest.
The leading Russian fell out of contention with disastrous long jump contest, having two fouls and a paltry 5.47. Sazanovich was finally caught in the javelin, where Lewis threw more than 6m further than the Belarusian to gain 120 points. Prokhorova ran 6.09 seconds faster than Sazanovich in the 800m to slip four points past her, while Lewis improved two places from her Atlanta finish to take her first global title.
