  • The 10,000 metres at the World Championships in Athletics has been contested by men since the inaugural edition in 1983 and by women since the subsequent edition in 1987. It is the second most prestigious title in the discipline after the 10,000 metres at the Olympics. The competition format is a straight final with typically between twenty and thirty participants. Before 1999, the event had two qualifying heats leading to a final. The championship records for the event are 26:46.31 minutes for men, set by Kenenisa Bekele in 2009, and 30:04.18 minutes for women, set by Berhane Adere in 2003. The world record has never been broken or equalled at the competition by either men or women, reflecting the lack of pacemaking and athletes' more tactical approach to championship races. Haile Gebrselassie is the most successful athlete of the event with four gold medals and also a silver and a bronze, spanning a period from 1993 to 2003. His Ethiopian compatriot Kenenisa Bekele matched his feat of four consecutive titles in 2009. Tirunesh Dibaba is the most successful woman, with three gold medals to her name (2005, 2007, 2013, plus a silver in 2017). is by far the most successful nation in the discipline, with fifteen gold medals and 33 medals in total. Kenya is comfortably the next most successful with seven gold and 25 medals overall. Great Britain is the only other nation to have won multiple gold medals, with three in the men's and one in the women's division. Four winners of the 10,000 m have completed a long-distance double by also winning the 5000 metres at the World Championships in Athletics: Tirunesh Dibaba was the first to do so in 2005, Kenenisa Bekele became the first man to do so in 2009, and Vivian Cheruiyot (2011) and Mo Farah (2013/2015) followed at the subsequent editions. Of these, only Mo Farah has achieved the feat twice, in 2013 and 2015 - either side of which he performed the same feat in consecutive Olympic Games. One athlete, Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands, has completed a rare 10,000 metres - 1500 metres double, in 2019. (en)
  • Le 10 000 mètres masculin fait partie des épreuves inscrites au programme des premiers championnats du monde d'athlétisme, en 1983, à Helsinki. L'épreuve féminine fait son apparition dès l'édition suivante, en 1987 à Rome. Avec quatre médailles d'or remportées, les Éthiopiens Haile Gebrselassie et Kenenisa Bekele sont les athlètes les plus titrés dans cette épreuve. Leur compatriote Tirunesh Dibaba, avec trois titres, détient quant à elle le record de victoires féminines. Les records des championnats du monde appartiennent, chez les hommes à Kenenisa Bekele, auteur de 26 min 46 s 31 lors des championnats du monde de 2009 à Berlin, et à sa compatriote Berhane Adere chez les femmes, qui établit le temps de 30 min 4 s 18 lors des mondiaux 2003.
