Overview by IAAF

In contrast to the closeness of the Stuttgart final Torrence won by the comfortable margin of 0.09 from Ottey and Privalova. Even so. she was not certain she had won and paused in her celebrations to watch a replay of the race on the stadium scoreboard. The three medallists were. improbably. drawn in the same semifinal which Torrence won in a world-leading 10.84 from Ottey (10.85) and Privalova (10.90). An unlucky fifth in that race was Greece’s Thánou. whose time of 11.09 was the same as the winning time in the other semi. Ottey’s silver gave her a record 11 World Championship medals. Torrence brought her total to seven. “The 100 is every sprinter’s dream; it’s a glamour event.” she said. “Everyone knows who’s the world’s fastest woman. I’ve been after that title and I’m glad I got it.”

These are the official results of the Women's 100 metres event at the 1995 IAAF World Championships in Gothenburg. Sweden. There were a total number of 58 participating athletes. with two semi-finals. four quarter-finals and eight qualifying heats and the final held on Monday 7 August 1995.
