[1] In the final Laura Muir (Great Britain) made her way to the front to set the early pace, marked closely by the Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon (Kenya).

After running at the back of the pack, marking world record holder Genzebe Dibaba (Ethiopia), Sifan Hassan (Netherlands) ran around the field into the lead.

Jennifer Simpson and 800 metre star Caster Semenya rushed to keep up, while Dibaba disappeared from contention.

Sprinting the entire last lap, Hassan held the lead until the final straightaway when Kipyegon was able to edge ahead.

Now with clear running room, Simpson ran past Muir just a few meters before the line to get silver, just behind Kipyegon.
