Dupureur and Willis were the favourites in the absence of Shim Kim Dan (PRK), whose 1:58.0 was over three seconds faster than the rest of the world, but who could not compete due to the suspension of her country by the IAAF. Willis was injured and failed to start in the heats. Dupureur was fastest in both rounds, with an Olympic record 2:04.1 in the semi-finals. She led four others under 2:05.0, as Vera Mukhanova (URS) was the odd one out, clocking 2:04.8 in fifth.
Dupureur went out fast from the gun in the final, and reached the bell in 58.6 with Nagy and Gleichfeld right behind her, and Packer buried in the middle of the field. Dupureur opened up a gap in the third quarter of the race, reaching 600m with a 6-7m lead. Only Packer was able to respond, passing Chamberlain with 150m to go, and closing smoothly on Dupureur, eventually gliding past her with 30m to go, winning by 5m from the Frenchwoman, who suffered agonies in the last 50m after her brave attempt to win.
