5000m Women 28/07 Winner Paula
Radcliffe England Time 14:31.42
Kenya’s Isabella Ochichi won the women’s 5000m final in 14:57.84 after a close tussle with England’s Jo Pavey who was rewarded for her sensible front running with a silver in 14:59.08.
Pavey sat just off the pace for the first half of the race before gradually moving up through a leading group of six, containing three Kenyans and two Australians. With four to go she was in fourth, a lap later she was second, and she took up the running with two to go.
The group was down to five at the bell and Pavey fought with Ochichi all the way into the home straight. Ochichi was stronger, finishing in 14: 57.84 with the 10,000m champion Lucy Wangui third in 15:00.20.
