1978 European Athletics Championships – Women's 100 metres hurdles

The women's 100 metres hurdles at the 1978 European Athletics Championships was held in Prague, then Czechoslovakia, at Stadion Evžena Rošického on 31 August and 2 September 1978.

Final
2 September Wind: 0.6 m/s Note: The final originally took place on 1 September but during its course Grażyna Rabsztyn veered off onto the neighbouring lane and caused Nina Margulina to fall down. Because of this the race was re-run a day later without Grażyna Rabsztyn, with the same athletes taking the medals in exactly the same order.
