This record is not only a number, but also the crystallization of the sweat and dreams of countless athletes, carrying the glory and pursuit of Chinese track and field people.

The birth of the Chinese men's 5000m record , It was at the 8th National Games that athlete Xia Fengyuan created this historic moment with a time of 13:25.1 at the Shanghai Arena on October 23, 1997. This achievement is like a ray of light, illuminating the way forward for the Chinese men's 5000m event.

　　The competition environment and competitive pressure at that time can be imagined, and Xia Fengyuan relied on tenacity and excellent tactical arrangement on the field, all the way, and finally stood out, freezing the record at this great moment. His success has inspired generations of Chinese men's 5000m athletes and become a source of motivation for them to constantly challenge themselves.

　　Over the years, although many outstanding athletes have challenged this record, the record set by Xia Fengyuan has still stood firm. Every new challenge is another exploration of the limit. These athletes have made unimaginable efforts in training, constantly improving their training methods and technical movements, just to get one step closer to the record on the field.

　　With the development of the times, Chinese athletics has made great progress in training concepts and scientific and technological assistance. Advanced training equipment, a professional coaching team and scientific nutrition have created better conditions for athletes. Today's young players stand on the shoulders of their predecessors and have more resources and opportunities.

　　In the international arena, Chinese men's 5000m athletes are also gradually emerging. They compete with the world's top players, accumulate experience and constantly improve their strength. Although there is still a certain gap from the world's leading level, the fighting spirit and speed of progress of Chinese athletes are exciting.

We have reason to believe that with the efforts of a new generation of athletes, this record is expected to be rewritten, and the Chinese men's 5000m event will surely shine more dazzling on the world stage.
