world Women 10000m History

Venue: Centennial Olympic Stadium, Atlanta. Capp.: 85,000.
35 competitors from 19 nations. Heats.
After a cautious first heat won by Wami in 32:20.92, Tulu took the other race with the fastest heat time ever of 31:35.90. Catherina McKiernan (IRL) led for the first three kilometres of the final, reached in 9:17.21. World Champion Ribeiro had taken over by 5000m, leading a pack of 10 through in 15:35.85, almost precisely the same time as in the 1992 final.
Barsosio and Julia Vaquero (ESP) were the leaders at the next three kilometre points, but Ribeiro was back in front at 9000m with only Wang and the two Ethiopians in tow. With 500m to go Wang, the ’93 World Champion and world record holder, made her move, with only Ribeiro able to stay in touch. As the two entered the homestraight, Ribeiro saw a gap on the inside, through which she darted, and won by 6m. Ribeiro won plaudits for her fighting spirit and beating the seemingly invincible Wang, while the Chinese finished as the most successful distance runner – male or female – in Atlanta.
