After twenty kilometers, Ondieki had sole lead. However, an eight-man chasing field was only a few seconds behind. But Ondieki slacked off significantly and had to give up the lead. She got slower and slower and later gave up the race entirely. Egorova took the lead, who now increased the pace. Her Russian teammate Madina Biktagirowa, here a member of the united team, followed her a few seconds behind. Yegorova kept going unabated and at thirty kilometers was almost a minute ahead of Biktagirova. They were followed by Arimori, Lorraine Moller from New Zealand, Yamashita and Dörre.

From kilometer 35, Egorova slowed down, Arimori initially came within ten seconds. Moller passed Biktagirowa, who was almost half a minute behind Moller. Arimori kept closing in on Egorova and came within a second at forty kilometers. Moller followed, one minute behind, Biktagirowa more than a minute behind. Yamashita had meanwhile been able to distance himself a little from Dörre. On the last section, Egorova increased her distance to the Japanese again. With a lead of only eight seconds, Valentina Jegorowa finally won the gold medal from Yūko Arimori. Seventy seconds behind followed Lorraine Moller and won the bronze medal.
