The women's 5000 metres at the 2022 World Athletics Championships was held at the Hayward Field in Eugene from 20 to 23 July 2022.

The final took off at a pedestrian pace, Gidey's Ethiopian teammate Dawit Seyaum took the field through a couple of 80 second laps.

She knew that was not going to take the sting out of Hassan and moved things up with a couple of 69 second laps.

Around the turn, Chebet sensed the move and ran around the outside to take Tsegay's shoulder, effectively blocking Hassan.

[3] The event schedule, in local time (UTC−7), was as follows: The first 5 athletes in each heat (Q) and the next 5 fastest (q) qualify for the final.
