100 metres, Women

Date	15 – 16 October 1964
Status	Olympic
Location	Kokuritsu Kyogijo, Shinjuku, Tokyo
Participants	44 from 27 countries

The favorite was American Edith McGuire who had won the 100 and 200 at the US Olympic Trials. Her college teammate Wyomia Tyus was considered a possibility for a medal, but was not expected to defeat McGuire. But Tyus was the class of the field in Tokyo. In round two she ran 11.2 for an Olympic record, and equaled Wilma Rudolph’s world record. She ran 11.3 in the semis and then easily defeated McGuire in the final with 11.4. McGuire would go on to win the 200 and in 1968, Tyus would return to become the first woman to defend the 100 metre gold medal.
