Summary

Carolle Zahi led the opening heats with her personal best of 7.11.{{cite web|url=https://www.iaaf.org/news/report/womens-60m-heats-iaaf-world-indoor-champion|title=Report: women's 60m heats - IAAF World Indoor Championships Birmingham 2018- News|website=Iaaf.org|accessdate=April 22, 2019}} Murielle Ahouré showed her cards in the semi-final round, her 7.01 .06 faster than the top sprinter in the world the last couple of seasons, Elaine Thompson. 7.01 would have been fast enough to win the final.

In the final, Ahouré blasted out of the blocks. With short quick, strides she had opened up a metre lead over Zahi, 20 metres into the race. The rest of the contenders formed a line across the track, only Remona Burchell was beaten at this point. The first to run down Zahi was returning silver medalist Dafne Schippers as Zahi faded. Schippers also faded, the battle in the center of the track was between Mujinga Kambundji and Marie-Josée Ta Lou, with Thompson inches behind. With her pursuers in full flight, Ahouré's lead shrunk slightly, but was insurmountable. Ta Lou and Kambundji crossed the line together, Ta Lou getting the silver by .005 over Kambundji.{{cite web|url=https://www.iaaf.org/news/report/womens-60m-final-iaaf-world-indoor-champion|title=Report: women's 60m final - IAAF World Indoor Championships Birmingham 2018- News |website=Iaaf.org|accessdate=April 22, 2019}}

It was the first gold medal for the Ivory Coast, made more remarkable by the fact that it was a one-two sweep for the nation.{{cite web|url=https://af.reuters.com/article/africaSportsNews/idAFL8N1QK4F4|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180303110945/https://af.reuters.com/article/africaSportsNews/idAFL8N1QK4F4|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 3, 2018|title=UPDATE 3-Athletics-Ahoure, Ta Lou roar to glorious Ivorian one-two|date=March 2, 2018|accessdate=April 22, 2019|website=Af.reuters.com}}
