final

Three Ethiopians, three Kenyans, Japanese, two Russians and one participant each from China, Ireland, Yugoslavia, Latvia, Morocco, Portugal, South Africa, the USA and Great Britain qualified for the final.
The favorites were primarily the Ethiopian World Champion Gete Wami, the British Vice World Champion Paula Radcliffe, the Portuguese Olympic Champion of 1996 and Vice European Champion of 1998 Fernanda Ribeiro, the World Cup third Tegla Loroupe from Kenya and the Irish European Champion Sonia O'Sullivan. Wami and O'Sullivan had already successfully ridden over 5000 meters five days earlier . Wami had received bronze and O'Sullivan silver. The Ethiopian Olympic champion from 1992 Derartu Tulu was there again in Sydney and was again one of the medal candidates.
In the final, Radcliffe set the pace for the first 7,000 meters. This stretched the field far apart. Due to the weakness of her sprint, the Brit was forced to run at a high pace in order to leave as many competitors as possible behind or to significantly impair their sprint power. Only five runners in a top group could hope for the medals in the further course. In addition to Radcliffe, Wami and Ribeiro, the Ethiopians Derartu Tulu and Loroupe were also among the front runners. The lead changed over the last five laps, but then Radcliffe took the lead again. The race got faster and faster over the last thousand meters. There were now constant laps and six hundred meters from the finish Loroupe had to tear down. At the beginning of the last round, Tulu took the reins and pushed hard again. Wami followed her heels while Radcliffe and Ribeiro lost touch. So two groups of two were formed. The two Ethiopians Tulu and Wami fought for gold, the two Europeans Ribeiro and Radcliffe for bronze. At the top, Derartu Tulu broke away from her rival on the back straight and finally won the race with a lead of almost five seconds and a new Olympic record . Ribeiro also made everything clear in the bronze fight in the finish curve and then came dangerously close to Wami again. But it stayed that way: silver for Gete Wami and bronze for Fernanda Ribeiro. Four seconds later, Paula Radcliffe followed in fourth place, more than ten seconds behind Loroupe crossed the finish line. Sixth-placed Sonia O'Sullivan also undercut the Olympic record that was valid up to these games.
Derartu Tulu won her second Olympic victory in this discipline after 1992 , making her the most successful athlete in the women's 10,000 meter run .
