These are the official results of the women's 100 metres hurdles at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

Despite the presence of the world record holderYordanka Donkova (who had her career peak four years earlier), Gail Devers came into this race as the favorite. Though her Olympic history shows her winning the 100 metres twice, the first time earlier in this Olympics, she primarily made her career as a hurdler. And true to form, Devers had a commanding lead in this race, until the final hurdle. Devers came up short and hit the hurdle, foot first, hard, knocking her off balance. She stumbled toward the finish line, falling on the last step. Such was her lead, she still finished fifth, .001 out of fourth place. In seemingly an instant, Voula Patoulidou became the gold medalist.

While Devers would win five world championship medals, three of them gold, in the 100 metres hurdles, this (actually her second attempt) was the marker of what proved to be the curse of the Olympics in her primary event.
