Participants72 from 58 countries

There were 72 entries and nine heats in round one, making the opening round tough sledding to qualify for the semi-finals. The semis were won by Wilson Kipketer (DEN), Yury Borzakovsky (RUS), 2003 World silver medalist, and Kenya’s Wilfred Bungei. Algeria’s Djabir Saïd-Guerni, 2003 World Champion, led the finalists thru the first lap in 51.84. Bungei went ahead at 500 metres and led until Kipketer passed him at the top of final straight, with Borzakovsky then in fifth place. But he was known for his kick and it did not fail him, Borzakovsky flying by the field down the stretch to win the gold medal. Kipketer faded near the end and was beaten for the silver medal by South African Mbulaeni Mulaudzi.
