The marathon of women at the 1995 World Championships in Athletics was in the streets of the August 5, 1995 the Swedish city of Gothenburg held.
Because the referees only allowed the runners to run three instead of the four scheduled rounds of the stadium after the start, the distance was 400 meters too short. So 41.795 km were run instead of the prescribed 42.195 km. Thus, the achievements were not ready for record or best list. However, this had no consequences for the world championship record , because the time of the winner Maria Manuela Machado was 22 seconds slower than the existing world championship record.
World champion was the Portuguese World Cup runner-up in 1993 and reigning European champion Maria Manuela Machado . She won in front of the Romanian Anuța Cătună . Bronze went to the Italian Ornella Ferrara .
