The women's 5000 metres speed skating competition of the 2014 Sochi Olympics was held at Adler Arena Skating Center on 19 February 2014.[1]
Qualification
A total of sixteen speed skaters could qualify for this distance, with a maximum of three skaters per country. The top 10 of the 2013–14 ISU Speed Skating World Cup – Women's 3000 and 5000 metres standings after the fourth World Cup race in Berlin secured a spot for their country. Then the additional six spots were awarded based on a time ranking of the World Cup 5000 metres race in Astana. A reserve list was also made.[2]
By virtue of Ivanie Blondin's top eight classification at the 2013 World Single Distance Speed Skating Championships – Women's 5000 metres in the pre-olympic season, Canada was given a wildcard at the expense of number 16 Mari Hemmer (who would have secured Norway a second spot).
