These are the official results of the women's 100 metres hurdles at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.[1]
Despite the presence of the world record holder Yordanka Donkova (who had her career peak four years earlier), Gail Devers came into this race as the favorite. Though her Olympic history shows her winning the 100 metres twice, the first time earlier in this Olympics, she primarily made her career as a hurdler. And true to form, Devers had a commanding lead in this race, until the final hurdle. Devers came up short and hit the hurdle, foot first, hard, knocking her off balance. She stumbled toward the finish line, falling on the last step, but still finished fifth, .001 out of fourth place. Voula Patoulidou was the gold medalist, followed by LaVonna Martin and Donkova.
