2023 Women’s 5000 World Rankings

Seven years away from 5000 racing dulled Faith Kipyegon’s skills not a whit. She returned WR & gold medal sharp. (KEVIN MORRIS)

LONG A MILE FIXTURE, Faith Kipyegon emerged as a 5000 force to be reckoned with this year, running her first 3-milers since ’15. She proved to be rather adept at it, her seasonal debut in Paris yielding a World Record. Also claiming the WC gold, the AOY was a clear No. 1…

KIPYEGON’S WR LASTED only a few months before it was beaten by Gudaf Tsegay, but the Ethiopian’s 13th in Budapest condemns her to a narrow No. 3 behind silver medalist Sifan Hassan. Tsegay beat bronze medalist Beatrice Chebet 2-1 to stay ahead of her…

LETESENBET GIDEY concentrated on the 10K in Hungary, but was the only one with a pair of sub-14:10s on the year, running 14:07.94 and 14:08.79.
