What is the men's 5,000m Chinese record?

　　In the field of middle and long-distance running in athletics, the men's 5,000-meter event has always attracted much attention. Many track and field enthusiasts are curious:What is the men's 5,000m Chinese record? ？ This issue not only reflects everyone's concern about the strength of Chinese track and field athletes, but also carries expectations for the development of Chinese track and field.

　　Up to now, the men's 5,000-meter Chinese record is 13:25.14, which was set by Xia Fengyuan at the National Games track and field competition on October 23, 1997. This result represented the top level of Chinese men in the 5,000-meter event at that time, and also became the goal of latecomers to catch up and surpass.

　　Looking back on history, although the men's 5,000 meters has always been a relatively weak event in Chinese men's middle-distance running, there have also been glorious moments. In the 80s, famous players such as Zhang Guowei, Hong Bo, and Wang Helin ran well within 13 minutes and 35 seconds in international competitions many times, showing the strength of the Chinese men's 5,000-meter event. Although in recent years, Japan's Osako has raised the Japanese men's 5,000m national record to 13:08.40, and our national record is still stuck on the result set by Xia Fengyuan 24 years ago, Chinese track and field athletes have never stopped working hard.

　　In the men's 5,000m final at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, China's Tashi Tsering finished seventh with a time of 13:56.67. Although he missed the podium, his tenacious fighting spirit on the field is the epitome of China's continuous progress. Nowadays, Chinese athletics continues to make progress in training methods and scientific and technological assistance, creating better conditions for athletes. The new generation of athletes is inspired by the records set by their predecessors, training hard and constantly challenging themselves. It is believed that in the future, more Chinese men's 5,000-meter athletes will attack to a higher level, which is expected to break this record that has been held for many years and add new glory to China's athletics industry.
