Overview by IAAF

Schaller and Anisimova were the semi-final winners, though Anisimova had to win her semi twice after her teammate Lyubov Kononova was disqualified for impeding Ştefănescu. Having run 12.91, Anisimova then ran 13.08 as reigning champion Ehrhardt, who had been third in the first run, was eliminated. In the final Rabsztyn was the early leader, but by the eighth hurdle she had been caught by the Soviet and GDR runners. Rabsztyn hit the ninth hurdle, and Anisimova and Schaller were even off the last hurdle, with the German just edging the Russian on the run-in. With only 0.05 separating first from fourth, this was even closer than the 1964 final.

Summary by Sports-reference.com

By now the East Germans and Eastern Europeans dominated this event. Six of them would make the final in Montréal, accompanied by Italian Ileana Ongar, and Israeli Esther Shakhamarov-Rot. Esther Shakhamarov was probably stronger in 1972 but withdrew from the event following the murder of the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches, among whom was her coach, Amitzur Shapira. The final was very close with the first four runners finishing within 0.05 seconds, led by the GDR’s Johanna Schaller.
