Medalists

Heat 2

Nestsiarenka, national record and fastest time of all heats, was never troubled, leading from the gun along with Khubbieva who faded towards the end and Kruglova, equalled personal best, who managed to stay on but could not hold off the 44 year old veteran Ottey who started slowly but ran down all but Nestsiarenka in the latter stages. Further down the pack were Al Gassra and Nasrallah who also ran national records and Ikelap equalling her PB.

Heat 5

Colander was impressive leading from the gun and easing up through the last five metres. Ojokolo took second away from Mayers who slowed considerably in towards the end and limped off the track clinging her right hamstring. Although not qualifying for the latter stages Al Eshosh ran a new Jordanian record.

Heat 8

Atangana shot into an early lead from the start but was tiring by fifty metres from where Lalova took control of the race. Oyepitan had a strong steady race and just held off Perepelova who finished steadily in lane eight after a poor start.
