2025 Women’s 5000 World Rankings

After capping her campaign with gold in Tokyo, Beatrice Chebet embraced the superstar she had just outkicked. (CLAUS ANDERSEN)

5000-METER SEASONS don’t come much better than the one that Beatrice Chebet essayed this year. (Just half the reason she ended up as AOY.)…

IN REPEATING AS the event’s No. 1 Chebet went undefeated, won WC gold and claimed the WR (to say nothing of the No. 4 time ever). Her 13:58.06 made her the first under the 14:00 barrier…

CHEBET OUTKICKED 1500 champ Faith Kipyegon for the WC gold, but that was her fellow Kenyan’s only race of the year and it was far too slow to move her into the 2 or 3 slot, so she gets 4…

NADIA BATTOCLETTI, No. 5 in ’24, got the third Tokyo spot but had enough in the way of backup credentials to earn No. 2 ahead of Gudaf Tsegay…

THE U.S. SCORED a pair of Rankers in Shelby Houlihan and Josette Andrews. That marks the first time two Americans have rated since Molly Huddle and Shannon Rowbury in ’14.
