The surprises of the preliminary rounds were the disqualification of
European Champion Jutta Heine for two false starts, and the elimina-
tion of Margaret Burvill (AUS) who had set an early season world
record of 22.9 over 220y. In the final, Black was off quickest in the out-
side lane, and used the more gently sloping curve to lead into the
straight from McGuire. The American quickly made up the small
deficit, and she moved away from the Australian to win clearly from
the 18 year-old Kirszenstein, who used her long stride to close to within
a metre of the American, overtaking Black in the last 20m.
