Summary

In the final

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. Hassan began to struggle as Muir tried to chase Kipyegon on the outside. Simpson was sprinting down the inside rail while Semenya was behind her but free from traffic on the far outside. Simpson had nowhere to go until Hassan drifted to the outside of the first lane, opening a small gap which Simpson squeezed through. Now with clear running room, Simpson ran past Muir just a few meters before the line to get silver, just behind Kipyegon. On the outside, a step behind Simpson's rush, Semenya dived at the line to nip Muir for the bronze.
