The Women's 5,000M is an Olympic event. The event is conducted by running 12 and a half laps around a 400M track. Prior to 1984, women were not allowed to run long distance on the track for fear that it would result in "dropped uteruses." From 1984 through 1992, women competed at 3,000M. In 1996, the Olympic distance was increased to 5,000M to match that of the men.
