The official results of the Women's 10,000 metres at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, with the final held on Friday August 7, 1992.

Derartu Tulu became the first black African woman to win an Olympic Gold medal.

[1] Liz McColgan came into the race as the returning silver medalist, the reigning world champion and a reputation behind it.

Zhong Huandi was the silver medalist behind McColgan in the world championships but not much was known about the Chinese program.

And so it stayed until the bell, Tulu made her break, Meyer didn't have the speed and the gold medal was settled.
