Perspective
Tokyo champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo returned to defend her title, despite having given birth in 2023 and withdrawing from the Bahamian Championships due to injury.[2] Marileidy Paulino, the silver medalist from Tokyo, was viewed as one of the favourites before the Games after her 48.76 s clocking to win the 2023 World Championships. NCAA champion Nickisha Pryce had run 48.57 s to win the London Diamond League, to be the world leader going into the Games. Other athletes seen as contenders for medals included 2019 World Champion Salwa Eid Naser, reigning European Champion Natalia Kaczmarek, 2023 NCAA Champion Rhasidat Adeleke and U.S Champion Kendall Ellis.[2]
In the final, Naser started fastest, reaching the 100 m mark first in 11.73 s.[3] Paulino followed in second with Amber Anning third. At the 200 m point, Paulino led, having overtaken Naser to reach 200 m in 22.81 s. Kaczmarek made up ground to be third at the 200 m mark. Over the next 100 m, Adeleke passed Kaczmarek to be in bronze medal position. In the final straight, Paulino extended her lead over Naser and Kaczmarek was able to accelerate and pass Adeleke for the bronze medal.
Paulino's time of 48.17 broke Marie-José Pérec's 28 year old Olympic record and her own National Record. Anning also set a new British National Record in fourth. All eight finalists finished under 50 seconds for the first time ever.[4]
