Overview by IAAF  1972_olympic_stadium.jpg
Stecher was the only athlete to dip below 23 seconds in the heats with 22.96, and later in the day Szewińska (22.79) and Stropahl (22.93) emulated her. Stropahl (22.90) and Stecher (22.83) won the semi-finals with Boyle and Szewińska running 22.92 behind Stropahl. In the final Stecher quickly took the lead and passed 100m in 11.2, with Boyle just behind her. The two battled down the straight, with Stecher’s strength the telling factor. She got home by half a metre in 22.4 to the world record, though the automatic time was nearly two-tenths faster than Szewińska’s Mexico record, with Boyle also beating the previous best. Behind them was the fastest mass finish ever, with Szewińska completing her set of 200m medals just ahead of Stropahl.
Summary by Sports-reference.com
In 1970 Taiwan’s Cheng Chi set three world records over 200 metres/220 yards, but she was injured early in 1972 and she could not compete at the Olympics. Renate Stecher (GDR) had won the 1971 European Championships and was favored, having won over 40 consecutive races over 100 and 200 metres. Defending champion Irena Szewińska-Kirszenstein was also back, having finished third to Stecher at the 1971 Europeans. Australia’s Raelene Boyle was also a challenger, having won the 1970 Commonwealth Games. In the final, Stecher took the early lead and was never caught, but Boyle stayed close throughout, losing by only 0.05, with Szewińska-Kirszenstein winning the bronze medal.
