final
Date: August 3, 1992
Twenty athletes competed in the final: three Kenyans, three Mexicans, two Ethiopians, two Moroccans, two British and one each from Argentina, France, Italy, Japan, Norway, South Africa, Hungary and the USA.
The favorites included the Kenyan world champion Moses Tanui and his compatriot Richard Chelimo, vice world champion, the Mexican world record holder Arturo Barrios and the Moroccan World Cup third Khalid Skah. The Italian European champion Salvatore Antibo, who won the silver medal in 1988, started here with more of an outsider's chances, he was no longer in the top form of previous years.
After a not quite brisk start with changing leaders, Chelimo took over the lead after the third kilometer and accelerated the pace. From the eighth lap, only seven runners could follow. In lap sixteen, Chelimo and Moroccan Khalid Skah were in the lead, the two clearly standing out from their pursuers. From lap nineteen on, slow runners began to lap. After almost nine kilometers, Skah's compatriot Hammou Boutayeb was also among the lapped runners. Boutayeb clung to the two leaders. Over the next lap and a half, Boutayeb tried to help his teammate Skah by taking the lead several times and then slowing down to disrupt Chelimo's running rhythm. Shortly before the last lap, Boutayeb was warned by the Swedish official Carl-Gustaf Tollemar. However, his attempts to stop and take Boutayeb out of the running were ineffective. On the last lap, Boutayeb got out, while Skah increased the pace. Richard Chelimo could no longer follow and won the silver medal. The Ethiopian Addis Abebe won the bronze medal. Salvatore Antibo crossed the finish line in fourth, Arturo Barrios in fifth, William Tanui in eighth, while Khalid Skah had won the gold medal in the front.
On the lap of honor, Skah was booed by the spectators. During the lap of honor he was disqualified by the IAAF World Athletics Federation. The Moroccan NOK then lodged a protest, which was granted. Hammou Boutayeb has now been disqualified. At the award ceremony, which took place two days later, Skah was booed again, while Chelimo received a standing ovation .
