Automatic Timing
Results:
First 3 each heat, plus 6 by time, advance to Aug 8 Final

First Heat: 1-Yelena Zadorozhnaya, RUS 9:32.96; 2-Korene Hinds, JAM 9:36.76; 3-Salome Chepchumba, KEN 9:39.27; 4-Minori Hayakari, JPN 9:41.21; 5-Bouchra Chaabi, MAR 9:41.82; 6-Lisa Galaviz, USA 9:47.45; 7-Livia Toth, HUN 9:51.03; 8-Stephanie de Croock, BEL 9:54.78; 9-Roisin McGettigan, IRL 9:56.31; 10-Clarisse Cruz , POR 10:06.96; 11-Andrea Mayr, AUT 10:07.61; 12-Miranda Boonstra, NED 10:09.91.
Two major surprises here: Livia Toth, who had previously run 9:32.52 this year, placed seventh and did not advance to the final after falling over a barrier early in the race. Conversely, Minori Hayakari of Japan lowered her national record and personal best by 17.71 seconds while advancing. Chepchumba led at 1000m in 3:08.81, then Zadorozhnaya took over at 2000m in 6:21.09.

Second Heat: 1-Wioletta Janowska, POL 9:35.66; 2-Mardrea Hyman, JAM 9:38.75; 3-Carrie Messner, USA 9:39.68; 4-Jackline Rionoropo, KEN 9:47.37; 5-Rasa Troup, LTU 9:47.47; 6- lodie Olivares, FRA 9:49.28; 7-Ida Nilsson, SWE 9:56.17; 8-Nataliya Izmodenova, RUS 10:01.97; 9-Rosa Morato, ESP 10:07.09; 10-Fatiha Bahi Azzouhoum, ALG 10:07.39; 11- Dobrinka Shalamanova, BUL 10:07.75; DNF - Anni Tuimala, FIN.
Messner got a personal best in third place, advancing to the final. No one behind her qualified by time, not even Troup who set a National Record. All the other non-finalists fell short of their previous marks, notably Izmodenova who was 26 seconds off her previous best of 9:35.51 which had ranked her second for this heat. Hyman led at 1000m in 3:08.55 and 2000m in 6:25.85. But Janowska led at the finish.

Third Heat: 1-Docus Inzikuru, UGA 9:27.85; 2-Jeruto Kiptum, KEN 9:29.21; 3-Yekaterina Volkova, RUS 9:29.88; 4-Cristina Casandra, ROM 9:37.19; 5-Yamina Bouchaouante, FRA 9:42.18; 6-Elizabeth Jackson, USA 9:45.24; 7-Ines Monteiro, POR 9:47.19; 8-Habiba Ghribi, TUN 9:51.49; 9-Turkan Bozkurt, TUR 9:56.61; 10-Valentyna Horpynych, UKR 9:49.73; 11-Jo Ankier, GBR 10:12.50.
Casandra, Bouchaounte, and Jackson had been steepling for years and from the final heat's vantage point they would know that qualifying by time was possible with times in the low to mid 9:40s. They and Monteiro reached the final without joining a needless pace for a sub 9:30 heat. Meanwhile, Inzikuru led at 1000m in 3:09.77 and Volkova was in front at 2000m in 6:22.99. Kiptum got between both at the finish for a National Record. Bozkurt also got an NR though no advancement to the final.
