Joyner-Kersee showed no reaction to her ankle twist in the previous night’s long jump final when she won her 100m hurdles heat. She performed well in the high jump and shot, and was just 11 points below her world record schedule at the start of the 200m before disaster struck. At the crown of the bend the American dramatically pulled up with a hamstring injury. Her husband and coach Bobby later concluded that this had been triggered by the sore ankle.
The overnight leader was Zhu, but she was soon overtaken when Braun long jumped a windy 6.67 on the second day. The German went further ahead of her immediate rivals with a fair javelin throw and had a comfortable 245-point margin before the final event. The 800m was won in spectacular fashion by Belova (née Nikitina), who improved four places and snatched the bronze medal.
