Ehrhardt had run 12.5 twice during 1972, and confirmed her status as favourite with 12.70 in the first heat, more than 2m ahead of Ryan (12.93), with Bufanu the only other athlete under 13.00 in the first round. Ehrhardt (12.73) and Bufanu (12.84), were the semi winners. In the final Ryan and Ehrhardt were away fastest, and the German flowed away from the field, gaining ground with every stride, to win by the largest margin of victory in the women’s Olympic sprint hurdles. Behind her Balzer went past Ryan halfway through the race, but could not withstand the finish of Bufanu, who passed the German after the ninth hurdle. Ehrhardt’s 12.59 would remain the electrically-timed world record for nearly six years.
