Overview by IAAF    1996_olympic_stadium.jpg
Syria had never produced a world-class athlete until the emergence of Shouaa, who won the world title in 1995. A healthy Joyner-Kersee would have been tipped to beat Shouaa, but JJK injured herself in running 13.24 in the hurdles and retired after warming up for the high jump. This was held in drizzly conditions, and Shouaa and Włodarczyk did well to clear 1.86. Shouaa then threw the shot a Syrian record 15.95, and after a good 23.85 in the 200m led by 112 points with 3992, from Włodarczyk, with Sazanovich third with 3856. Both Shouaa (6.26) and Lewis (6.32) had poor long jumps, leaving Shouaa six points behind Sazanovich. Lewis (54.82) and Shouaa (55.70) threw magnificently in the javelin, which lifted the Briton to third, and Shouaa to a 182 point lead over Sazanovich. Shouaa beat both her principal opponents in the 800m to win by more than 200 points, with Lewis third by just five points from the Pole.
       
Summary by Sports-reference.com      
The two-time defending champion, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, was back but injuries left her physical condition a question mark. She placed second in the 100 hurdles with a very slow time (for her) of 13.24 and then had to withdraw. In the shot put, Ghada Shouaa threw 15.95 (52-4) for a new Syrian record and took the lead. She led after day one by 112 points, but Nataliya )Natasha) Sazanovich won the long jump with 6.70 (21-11¾) and took over the lead by five points over Shouaa. But Shouaa’s javelin throw of 55.70 (182-9) sealed the win for her, Sazanovich holding on for the silver medal and Denise Lewis winning the first medal for Britain in the multi-event since Mary Peters gold medal in the pentathlon in 1972.
