final
Date: August 7, 1992
Twenty athletes had qualified for the final: three from Portugal, two each from Ethiopia, China, Japan, Kenya, the USA and Great Britain, and one each from Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and South Africa
As the reigning world champion and silver medalist in Seoul in 1988 , Brit Liz McColgan was one of the favorites . The Russian European champion from 1990 Jelena Romanowa , here for the united team at the start, had decided on the 3000 meters , which she had also won, and was not there over 10,000 meters . The two Chinese women Zhong Huandi and Wang Xiuting, who finished second and third at the 1991 World Championships, were among the other medal contenders. The German Kathrin Weßel - who competed for the GDR until 1990, who had become Vice European Champion in 1990 under her previous name Kathrin Ullrich, Olympic fourth in 1988 and fourth in 1991 World Cup , was one of the contenders for a top position. This also applied to the American Lynn Jennings as fifth in the World Cup . One could be curious about the performance of the strong African women with the Ethiopian Derartu Tulu as champion of this continent and the South African Elana Meyer. With the exception of Weßel, who had given up in her preliminary round, all of the favorites reached this 10,000 meter final.
In the final race, McColgan tried to pull away from the field early. But she did not succeed. Halfway through the race, a group of eleven runners had formed up front. After the 6,000 meter mark was passed, Meyer took the initiative and pulled away slightly. A short time later, however, Tulu caught up again. Together with Meyer at the front, she continued to run at a good pace, especially given the hot temperatures, and the field kept falling back. At the beginning of the last lap, Tulu made a long sprint, Meyer could no longer keep up. Derartu Tulu won the race with about five and a half seconds ahead of Elana Meyer. Bronze went to Lynn Jennings, who left the Asian champion Zhong Huandi behind. Liz McColgan came in fifth ahead of Wang Xiuting and the German Uta Pippig.
Derartu Tulu became the first woman to win a medal for Ethiopia.
Elana Meyer won the first medal for South Africa after being admitted to the Olympic Games. Since 1961, South Africa had been excluded from the IOC because of its apartheid policy. A South African delegation was only allowed to return to the Barcelona games .
A gesture that received a lot of attention was made during the lap of honor for the first two. Both the black Ethiopian Tulu and the white South African Meyer had got their flags. Meyer and Tulu, who hardly knew each other at the time, hugged and sometimes ran a joint lap of honor, hand in hand.
