Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 93,607.
23 competitors from 13 nations.
In the absence of the top GDR and USSR stars, as well as Jane Frederick, the best American, who was injured at the US Trials, Joyner was favourite. Although eighth after two events, she was in with a chance after a fine 14.39 in the shot which allied with a good 200m (24.05), meant that she was only 20 points behind Simpson at the end of the first day, while Nunn and Everts were within 18 points of the American. Joyner’s best event was the long jump, but two fouls left her with a safe effort of 6.11 to make, and this was the difference between gold and silver. A jump in the 6.70 region would have meant a win by 120 points. Instead, Nunn brilliantly reached her lifetime best of 6.66, and was 109 points ahead of the American, though one point behind Everts. Nunn threw only 35.58 in the javelin, but Everts was even more inept, reaching a mere 32.62. In the 800m Nunn set her fourth pb of the event, to come home just five points ahead of Joyner, with Everts a close third, just 27 points away from gold.
