| Date | 4 – 5 August 1984 |

| Status | Olympic |
| Location | Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California |
| Participants | 46 from 33 countries |
The event lacked many of the world’s top sprinters because of the Eastern European boycott, especially missing East Germany’s Marlies Göhr. The favorite was American Evelyn Ashford, who was Göhr’s arch-rival. She had been world ranked #1 in 1979 and 1981 and had won the 1979 World Cup title. In July 1983 Ashford broke the world record with 10.79. A great duel was expected at the first World Championships in 1983, but Ashford pulled up injured in the final, and Göhr won comfortably. In Los Angeles, Ashford’s health was better and she won very easily, running a strong 10.97 in the final against a 1.2 m/s wind.
