The women's 800 metre of Athletics 2024 during the 2024 Summer Olympics was held on 2–5 August 2024 in the Stade de France. With 50 athletes competing, the event was won by Keely Hodgkinson from Great Britain, with Tsige Duguma from Ethiopia taking the silver medal and Mary Moraa from Kenya taking bronze.

Format

The competition exists out of four rounds, each with races of up to eight athletes. In the opening round, the top two with the fastest time advance to the semifinal. The rest of the athletes have another chance for the remaining spots through the new repechage round. In the semifinal round, the top two with the fastest time advance to the final, together with a number of fastest non-qualifiers. The fastest competitor in the final is the winner of the event.

Preview

Fifty athletes qualified for the event with a few medal contenders in the field after the defending Olympic champion missed the selection at the national trials. Keely Hodgkinson was the only returning medalist from Tokyo 2020 and seemed to become a top favorite for the title, but she was expected to challenge the reigning world champion Mary Moraa.
