1983 World Championships in Athletics – Women's 100 metres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These are the official results of the Women's 100 metres event at the 1983 IAAF World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. There were a total number of 49 participating athletes, with seven qualifying heats and the final held on Monday 1983-08-08.

At the start, Koch and Ashford were out fast, and even until 40 metres into the race when Ashford pulled up with a hamstring injury. Göhr gained steadily on her teammate Koch, passing her at 80 meters. Sensing a further challenge from Diane Williams - who had crossed from her lane 6 to her left and front of Merlene Ottey in Lane 5, Koch leaned at the finish to hold on to second.
