Three runners each from the Soviet Union, Canada and the USA and two from Great Britain qualified for the final. The starting field was completed with one athlete each from France, the Netherlands, Romania and Switzerland.
The favorites were the Soviet world champion Tetjana Samolenko and the American Mary Slaney. The Romanian Olympic champion from 1984 and vice world champion Maricica Puică had given up her race in the preliminary round due to an injury. Contenders for medals and front places were beyond especially the British Championship -Third and WM -Siebte Yvonne Murray, as WM -Vierte the Swiss Cornelia Bürki and as a WM -Sechste the Dutch Elly van Hulst.
In the final, Slaney took the lead early in the closed field. Her pace was so fast that there was a small gap to her pursuers over a longer distance, which sometimes grew a little and was then closed again. The Romanian Paula Ivan and Murray ran in second and third place. Due to the high speed, there was hardly any battles for position in the field. The 1000 meter split was 2: 47.46 minutes. A group of ten runners had broken off, five athletes had to be torn down. Three and a half laps before the end it slowed down and immediately the field moved closer together, sometimes running side by side. Little knew Victoria Huber from the USA took the lead at 1900 meters. Behind them were Murray, Ivan and Slaney, who, however, soon couldn't keep up the pace and lost space after space. The passage time at 2000 meters was 5: 44.08 minutes, so the second kilometer was about ten seconds slower than the first. At 2500 meters, the British Yvonne Murray then went forward and pulled on a long spurt. There were still nine runners in the lead group, which was now falling apart. Only Samolenko and Ivan could follow. Before the finish curve, Ivan took the lead and Samolenko also passed the Briton. Before the home stretch, Murray also had to let go. Tetjana Samolenko prevailed in the last sixty meters and was Olympic champion in a new Olympic record time ahead of Paula Ivan. Yvonne Murray won the bronze medal in front of the two Soviet runners Jelena Romanowa and Natalia Artjomowa. Victoria Huber was rewarded sixth for her courageous race. Overall, the runners up to fifth place were able to undercut the previous Olympic record of 1984.
