After her 100m win, and the mid-season 22.9 world record which brought her to prominence, Rudolph was hot favourite to win. Her heat win in an Olympic record of 23.2 (23.30) did nothing to dispel that notion. The weather changed on the day of the semis and final, with the result that times were hindered by approximately a second by strong crosswinds. Rudolph won her semi-final in 23.7 (23.79) from the tall blonde German Heine’s 24.0 (24.15), with European Champion Janiszewską third.
