The season leader Sally Kipyego finished second in 30:50.04 and defending champion Linet Chepkwemoi Masai came third in 30:53.59. Priscah Jepleting Cherono overcame Ethiopia's Meselech Melkamu to finish fourth with a personal best of 30:56.43.
Melkamu, always a contender but never a senior winner in the big races, finished less than a step behind Cherono in 30:56.55. Masai had exchanged words with her during the race when the Ethiopian got too close.
The world's fastest man and global sport's most marketable star Usain Bolt made his first heat run in the men's 100m amid cheers and clapping. The reigning world and Olympic champion and world record holder easily topped the first round, clocking 10.10 seconds, two hundredths of a second ahead of his Jamaica teammate Yohan Blake.
The 100m final is to take place on Sunday night as almost people around the world expect Bolt to retain his title, since arch-rivals Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay had both pulled out of the Championships due to injuries.
However, the opening day saw two early exits of Olympic champions.
Australia's Steve Hooker saw his hopes of a second successive pole vault gold medal quickly disappear when failing to make a height in his qualifying round.
Hooker, who made a late start to his summer season after undergoing extensive treatment for an injury to his left knee which affected his take-off leg, failed to clear his opening height of 5.50m.
