Sifan Hassan and Letesenbet Gidey lead a very strong women’s 10,000m field for the final on Day One at the 2023 World Athletics Championships on Saturday. This field is blessed with talents and below you will find the full start list.
Hassan ran the 1500m earlier this morning so she has already tested the track and know what to expect this evening. The Dutch star is aiming to win a treble –1500m, 5000m, and 10,000m — and victory here tonight would lift her confidence for the rest of the championships.
However, Letesenbet Gidey, the defending champion, isn’t prepared to surrender her title easily and you can expect her to perform under the lights.
