Oceania record holder Jessica Hull kept close to Faith Kipyegon until the last 200m, but in the final meters her strength left her and she finished third in 3:55.16 min.

Another Kenyan, Nelly Chepchirchir, remained fourth in a personal best of 3:55.25 min.

The Top 5 was completed by Nikki Hiltz (USA), clocking 3:57.08 min.
