Kipyegon made her Olympic history by pulling away from the pack on the final lap.

Kipyegon crossed the finish line almost a full second ahead of Hull in second place.

The win concluded the Olympics on a high for Kipyegon, who found herself in a bit of controversy during the 5,000 meters. She was disqualified for making contact with another runner, but she was then reinstated to her silver-medal position. This is the first time Kipyegon has come away from an Olympics with multiple medals.

The real battle at the end came between Hull and Bell for the silver medal. The Australian barely remained ahead of the Team GB runner to land the first-ever women's 1,500-meter medal for the Aussies.

Hull attempted to catch Kipyegon with a surge over the final 200 meters, but no one had the same kick available to them over the final lap than the three-time Olympic champion.

Bell gave Team GB its second straight medal in the event. Laura Muir, who finished fifth on Saturday, was a silver medalist in Tokyo.

The two American runners in the event fell short of challenging for the medal podium. Nikki Hiltz took seventh and Elle St. Pierre finished in eighth.
