Matches in DBpedia 2015-10 for { ?s ?p "The 5000 metres at the World Championships in Athletics has been contested by men since the inaugural edition in 1983 and by women since 1995. Women competed over 3000 metres from 1980 to 1993, in line with championship standards of the time. It is the shortest long-distance running event at the competition, the 10,000 metres and marathon being the other two such events on the programme. It is the second most prestigious title in the discipline after the 5000 metres at the Olympics. The competition format typically has a two-race heats stage that leads directly to a final between fifteen athletes.The championship records for the event are 12:52.79 minutes for men, set by Eliud Kipchoge in 2003, and 14:38.59 minutes for women, set by Tirunesh Dibaba 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. Similarly the women's 3000 metres world record was not improved during its 13-year history. The championship record for that event was set on its last appearance in 1993, by Yunxia Qu with a time of 8:28.71 minutes.The women's 3000 m was among the first ever IAAF World Championship events as it was one of two designated events at the 1980 World Championships in Athletics (alongside women's 400 metres hurdles), which was held after the International Olympic Committee refused to add the women's event to the Olympic programme that year.Meseret Defar is the most successful athlete of the event, having won two world championship titles and reached the medal podium five times consecutively from 2005 to 2013. Vivian Cheruiyot is the next most successful with two golds and one silver. Four other athletes have won the 5000 m championship twice: Ismael Kirui and Mo Farah on the men's side, and Gabriela Szabo and Tirunesh Dibaba on the women's side. Tatyana Dorovskikh was also a double champion in the women's 3000 m, and the only woman to win multiple medals over that distance.Kenya is the most successful nation in the discipline, with seven wins in the men's distance and two in the women's, and has the highest medal total at 21. Ethiopia is the next best performer with four women's titles, one men's title and twenty medal overall. Morocco, Great Britain, Romania and Ireland are the other nations to have won multiple gold medals in the 5000 m. The Soviet Union won the most 3000 m medals during its run, with two titles and four medals. China produced a medal sweep in 1993.Eamonn Coghlan is the only non-African-born man to win the 5000 m."@en }
