The Women's 10,000m at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea had an entrylist of 42 competitors ( eight were non-starters ), with two qualifying heats (42) before the final (20) took place on Friday September 30, 1988.

World record holder Ingrid Kristiansen set the Olympic record in the heats. In the final, she let Olga Bondarenko and Nancy Tinari cruise through 79 second laps, marked by Liz McColgan. A turn after 5 laps, wearing her white gloves, Kristiansen exploded to a 74 second lap, followed by a 69 second lap. The field strung out, only Kathrin Ullrich tried to stay with her, even McColgan held off the fast early pace. Suddenly at the end of the seventh lap, Kristiansen made a left turn and stepped off the track. With gone Ullrich led a breakaway of McColgan, Bondarenko and Yelena Zhupiyeva, 20 metres up on the pack. The gap only grew as the leaders pulled away. Ullrich was the first to drop off with McColgan holding the lead marked by the two Soviets. Over the last two kilometers McColgan kept increasing the pace trying to burn off them off, finally with three laps to go, Zhupiyeva began to crack and drop off. Bondarenko showed the strain but would not go away. With 200 metres to go, Bondarenko sprinted by McColgan. McColgan was unable to change gears and the race was over. Bondarenko had 15 metres over McColgan by the finish, another 60 metres back to Zhupiyeva.
