[1] The opening round went largely to form, except 2012 world #7 Vania Stambolova took herself out crashing the first hurdle.
In the second semi Lashinda Demus had a clear lead, slowing on the way home to just exert enough effort to finish first.
Antyukh stuttered the tenth hurdle, opening the door for Demus to chase her to the finish line, but Antyukh held on for gold, Demus disappointed with silver and Hejnová clearly in the bronze medal position.
The Athletics Integrity Unit said the cases were based on an investigation into Russian doping for the World Anti-Doping Agency presented in 2016 by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren.
American silver medalist Lashinda Demus could potentially receive the gold medal, which was pending reallocation by the International Olympic Committee as of 24 October 2022.
