Final

This 10,000-metre final started slowly, with Britain's Anthony Simmons leading at 1,000 metres in 2:52.95. Around 200 metres later, Belgium's Marc Smet accelerated briefly, but with little effect on the other 15 runners. However, before 2,000 metres there was some pushing in the tightly bunched field. As a result, Norway's Knut Boro injured one of his legs, and he was forced to drop out. The pace only improved slightly through 2,000 metres (5:44.08) and 3,000 metres (8:33.37). Around 3,300 metres, Portugal's Carlos Lopes took the lead for the first time, but he was shortly thereafter passed by Simmons. Gradually Australia's David Fitzimons, who had exhausted himself in his qualifying heat, started to lose contact with the lead group. Lopes led the field at 4,000 metres in 11:22.82. During the fifth kilometre, he slowly accelerated the pace by over 3 seconds. At 5,000 metres, Lopes's time was 14:08.94. By 6,000 metres (16:52.29), several runners had already dropped from the lead group: The Netherlands' Jos Hermens, Belgium's Karel Lismont and Emiel Puttemans, France's Jean-Paul Gomez, Australia's Christopher Wardlaw, the United States' Gary Bjorklund, and Britain's Bernard Ford. Shortly after 6,000 metres, also Spain's Mariano Haro and Britain's Simmons lost contact with the top runners. The next runner to drop from the lead group was Romania's Ilie Floroiu. At 6,800 metres, the discouraged Puttemans dropped out of the final. Lopes's exhausting pace continued through 7,000 metres (19:36.34), shortly after which Smet dropped from the top runners' group. Foster was the next runner to lose contact with Lopes, at 8,000 metres (22:20.19). Lopes and Viren lapped Fitzsimons at 8,600 metres, while Foster lapped the worn out Australian runner at 8,900 metres. Lopes led still at 9,000 metres (25:02.88), with Viren remaining close behind him. Around 9,550 metres, Viren at last moved out from the first lane's inner edge, in order to pass Lopes. The tenacious Portuguese runner could not accelerate his pace, and thus Viren easily and quickly broke away from him. The only suspense during the last lap involved the bronze medalist's identity. Despite his fatigue, Foster was able to run the last lap in 63-64 seconds, which was enough to hold off Simmons' strong final kick.
