The women's 800 metres at the 2022 World Athletics Championships was held at the Hayward Field in Eugene from 21 to 24 July 2022.

[1] With the elimination of defending champion Halimah Nakaayi in the semis, the rest of the podiums of the Olympics and previous World Championships were represented in the final.

Bumping elbows both in lane 1, Hodgkinson gained a slight advantage, then Mu came back to get the edge.

Unlike the runaway in the Olympics, Mu barely opened a gap on Hodgkinson, taking a lean at the line just to be sure.

[3] The event schedule, in local time (UTC−7), was as follows: The first 3 athletes in each heat (Q) and the next 6 fastest (q) qualify to the semi-finals.
