Yulin men's 5000m national record - it carries the blood and dreams of Chinese track and field athletes

Men's 5000m national record: Witness the hard work and breakthrough of Chinese athletics

　　In track and field, the men's 5000m event has always been a fierce contest of speed and endurance, and the men's 5000m national record carries the blood and dreams of Chinese track and field athletes. It is not only a cold number, but also an important milestone in the development of Chinese athletics, witnessing the hard work and breakthroughs of countless athletes.

　　Up to now, the national record for the men's 5000m is 13 minutes 25.1 seconds, and the creator is Xia Fengyuan, which was born in Shanghai at the 8th National Games on October 23, 1997. In that arena full of challenges and opportunities, Xia Fengyuan ran with all his might with tenacious perseverance and excellent competitive form, and finally created this historic moment. Every step of his hand embodies countless sweat and dedication, and has written a strong stroke for Chinese athletics.

　　As time goes by, the follow-up runners of the Chinese men's 5000m event are also catching up with this record. They take Xia Fengyuan as an example, train hard, and constantly challenge themselves. In international arenas such as the Asian Winter Games, you can also see the outstanding performance of Chinese men's long-distance speed skaters. For example, in the men's 5000m competition at the 2025 Asian Winter Games, the Chinese team sent Liu Hanbin, Hanhati Muhamati and Wu Yu to compete. Liu Hanbin was in full swing and finally hit the line in 6:29.93, temporarily ranking first among the players who had already appeared. And Wu Yu, who appeared in the last group, came from behind and won the championship with a time of 6:27.82. Although this result is not a national record, it reflects the trend of continuous breakthroughs in Chinese men's long-distance events.

　　The stories of these outstanding athletes have inspired generations of newcomers to track and field. In training, they continue to improve their technique and physical fitness, just to get one step closer to the national record on the field. The men's 5000m national record is like a lighthouse, guiding the direction of Chinese track and field athletes. I believe that in the future, more Chinese athletes will attack this record, or even break it, create new brilliance, and let Chinese athletics shine more dazzling on the world stage.
