2001 World Championships in Athletics – Women's 5000 metres

These are the official results of the Women's 5000 metres event at the 2001 IAAF World Championships in Edmonton, Canada.

Olga Yegorova had tested positive for EPO earlier in 2001 which drew protests from her fellow competitors after she was allowed to compete in the World Athletics Championships.[1] Although her urine sample tested positive for EPO, the French authorities failed to take an accompanying blood test and she avoided a suspension on a technicality.[2]
