| The USA's Inger Miller won clearly with 21.77, a world season's best. Thus Miller obtains her second medal at this Championships after her silver in the 100 metres. The other medals were obtained by two of the three Jamaicans in the final, with an unusual second bronze also being awarded: Beverly McDonald took the silver with 22.22, a new personal best, and Merlene Frazer and Andrea Philipp of Germany were both awarded bronze medals after the jury of appeal had reviewed the photo-finish images and determining that both athletes had crossed the line at exactly the same time of 22.26. Both of the Jamaican athletes had already won world medals in relay events but these are their first in single races. |
