Overview by IAAF

In the absence of the two most recent world record breakers – Moses Kiptanui and Haile Gebrselassie – the pace was slow, just 2:17.66 after 800m. The race speeded up on the third lap thanks to defending champion Kirui. He and Bikila took turns to lead through 2000m (5:28.98), 3000m (8:05.20) and 4000m (10:44.25). As the pace quickened, the non-African challengers fell back. Instead the race was down to three Moroccans (Boulami, Sghir and Lahlafi), two Kenyans (Kirui and Kororia), and Bikila. The Ethiopian edged ahead momentarily with three laps remaining, but thereafter Kirui was in front. The relaxed Kenyan speeded up when Lahlafi challenged with 500m to go. He led all the way around the last lap (56.56), repelling another attack from Sghir and withstanding the finishing kicks of Lahlafi and Kororia.

These are the official results of the Men's 5,000 metres event at the 1995 World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. There were a total number of 48 participating athletes, with three qualifying heats and the final held on Sunday 1995-08-13.
