2022 World Athletics Championships – Women's 1500 metres
The women's 1500 metres at the 2022 World Athletics Championships was held at the Hayward Field in Eugene from 15 to 18 July 2022. Summary

Gudaf Tsegay took the lead soon after the start with only her Ethiopian teammate Hirut Meshesha, Olympic Champion Faith Kipyegon and Olympic silver medalist Laura Muir following closely with a gap opening quickly back to the rest. The first lap was completed in an electric 55.12 seconds with the first four maintaining a gap over the rest of the field until the end of the second lap, completed in 68 seconds, when Meshesha dropped off the first three, who now looked like confirmed medallists after only 800 metres. Tsegay still led at the bell with Kipyegon only taking the lead halfway down the back straight on the last lap. Kipyegon extended her lead over Tsegay to almost 10 metres by the finish with another five metres back to Muir in third. Records
