After 23.7 in June, Blankers-Koen was favoured to beat Brouwer (23.9) and Jackson (24.3y), but the reigning champion withdrew ill, leaving the way open for Jackson. The Australian was brilliant, equalling the world record in her heat with 23.6 (23.74), some 10m ahead of the opposition. She bettered this in the semis with 23.4 (23.59), with a margin of more than 0.8 over Brouwer. Lane 1 was not used for the final, so Jackson’s inside draw was not as penalising as a curb lane would normally be. Jackson blis- tered the curve and was 5m clear at halfway. The field managed to close slightly in the closing stages but the Australian won in dominant fashion.
