Heat 2
Nestsiarenka, national record and fastest time of all heats, was never troubled, leading from the gun along with Khubbieva who faded towards the end and Kruglova, equalled personal best, who managed to stay on but could not hold off the 44 year old veteran Ottey who started slowly but ran down all but Nestsiarenka in the latter stages. Further down the pack were Al Gassra and Nasrallah who also ran national records and Ikelap equalling her PB.

Heat 3
Williams held up the start for a minute or so as she asked a track side judge to remove some litter that appeared in her lane and this may have distracted her as she was slow away but ran down the fast away Khabarova in the last twenty metres. A hard running Ashby just held off Allou for the last automatic qualifying place. Florencio managed a PB in finishing sixth but even she was a different class to the Mauritanian who was clearly out of her depth.

Heat 4
Manninen held up her hand on the blocks after the starter had held them for an excessively long time. When they eventually got away Sturrup, returning from injury, burst out from the blocks but lack of fitness told as she fell apart at seventy metres and only just held off Mueller. Tabakova and Simpson both went past Sturrup with the Russian powering away to take first. There was a PB for Mwemeata in lane 4.

Heat 5
Colander was impressive leading from the gun and easing up through the last five metres. Ojokolo took second away from Mayers who slowed considerably in towards the end and limped off the track clinging her right hamstring. Although not qualifying for the latter stages Al Eshosh ran a new Jordanian record.

Heat 6
Former world champion Block, and double Olympic champion, both looked past their best trailing in behin Campbell who was never behind. Yaar set an Afghan national record. The Somalian, Omar, who brought up the rear had some problems. After leaving the blocks she followed the lane markings that merge with the home straight and wandered into lane 6, fortunately Devers had left her behind so was not interfered with.

Heat 7
A false start by the inexperienced Koime didn't put her off as ran a national record in coming sixth. Jaasim, Iraq's only female competitor at the games, was also not disgraced in coming last. These two were a fair distance behind the business end of the race where world indoor 60 m. champion Gevaert, who had burst out the blocks, was run down by Anim (NR) and Arron who both recorded the same time.
