The first two rounds were undistinguished, with Kelly Holmes (GBR) the fastest with 4:05.88. Holmes went to the front early in the final, and passed 400m in 62.66 with Masterkova on her shoulder. Holmes remained in front, but the pace dropped to 2:10.55 at 800m, and continued at that level to the bell (3:00.83). Masterkova went to the front just after 1200m, as Holmes dropped back. Szabo, on the outside, and Kiesl moved into position to attack Masterkova. Neither was a match for the Russian who accelerated sharply in the finishing straight, and won after a last 200m of 28.7.
