The competition was held as a final race without preliminary heats.
The Ethiopians with the 2000 Olympic champion Derartu Tulu were considered favorites . The Ethiopian team was so dominant that the reigning world champion Berhane Adere was waived. In addition to Tulu, Ejegayehu Dibaba and Vice World Champion Werknesh Kidane started. As competitors, the Chinese World Cup third Sun Yingjie and Kenyan-born Lornah Kiplagat, who competed for the Netherlands, came into question. The British European Champion Paula Radcliffe, who dared a double start over 10,000 meters and in the marathon , was there again. However, her shape in the Olympic year did not make her appear as a medal candidate.
A moderate pace was run for the first 6000 meters. Radcliffe also repeatedly took on the leadership position. However, after fifteen laps, she fell behind and gave up the race on the nineteenth lap. The 1000 meter section between the sixth and seventh kilometers was the first under three minutes in this race. The pace was not kept as high afterwards, but it remained significantly faster than on the first half of the route. So the field fell apart more and more and a top group of five formed with the three Ethiopians, the Chinese Xing Huina and Kiplagat. Kidane set the pace and the group stayed together until the last lap. At the beginning of the back straight, Dibaba took the final spurt and took the lead, Xing followed her effortlessly. Tulu took third position and was still in close contact with the two leaders, while Kidane struggled to keep up. Kiplagat fell behind and had no prospect of winning a medal. At the beginning of the home stretch, the Chinese pulled past Dibaba. Xing Huina won by 62 hundredths of a second over Ejegayehu Dibaba. Derartu Tulu lost the connection in the last hundred meters and won the bronze medal just under two seconds behind Xing. Werknesh Kidane finished fourth ahead of Lornah Kiplagat. Sun Yingjie finished sixth, more than 22 seconds behind Kiplagat. Another six seconds behind, the Latvian Jeļena Prokopčuka was seventh ahead of the Russian Lidija Grigorjewa.
It wasn't a world record race , but three national records were set: for Latvia, Slovenia and Romania.
Xing Huina was the first Chinese Olympic champion in this discipline.
