Results by event

Athletics

The only Olympic medalist in Mozambican history, Maria de Lurdes Mutola, was the defending champion and three-time World champion in the women's 800 metres, and while she moved through to the final fairly comfortably, in the final itself she missed out on defending her Olympic title, falling short by less than two-tenths of a second. Indeed, the race was so close that she actually finished fourth, as two other runners finished even closer to the gold medal spot. Mutola did run a seasonal best in the final, while Kurt Couto, who did not advance in the 400 metre hurdles, set a new national record in that event.
