Who is the Chinese 5000m world champion?

　　In the bright galaxy of sports, the 5000m event has always been a fierce contest of speed and endurance. Many sports enthusiasts have such a question in their minds: who is the Chinese 5000m world champion? Today, let's find out.

　　In track and field, although China has not yet produced a traditional world champion in the 5,000m event, there are shining stars in the unique 5,000m form of race walking. Xu Yongheng is a strong stroke in the history of Chinese track and field. She entered the Liaoning Provincial Women's Race Walking Team in 1981, and was originally an amateur middle-distance runner, but she shined in the field of race walking. In the 3rd World Race Walking Competition, Xu Yongheng won the women's individual championship, becoming the first world champion in the history of Chinese track and field, and writing a glorious chapter in China's 5000-meter race walking.

　　In the men's 5,000-meter relay in the winter short track speed skating, Chinese athletes also performed well. In the men's 5000m relay final of the 2024-2025 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Tour Beijing Station, the Chinese team sent a luxurious lineup of Sun Long, Liu Shaoang, Liu Shaolin and Li Wenlong. The first baton Sun Long started well, slid steadily, and quickly took the lead; Liu Shaoang and Liu Shaolin tacitly changed sticks, had strong explosiveness, and consolidated their advantages; In the last stick, Li Wenlong sprinted steadily, and finally won the gold medal for the Chinese team with a time of 6:42.551. In this game, in the face of many attempts to overtake strong opponents such as the South Korean team, the Chinese team maintained its rhythm, responded calmly, showed strong strength and teamwork spirit, and won wide praise at home and abroad.

　　In the 2025 Turin Winter Games short track speed skating men's 5000m relay Group A final, the Chinese team composed of Liu Guanyi, Song Guixu, Li Kun and Zhang Tianyi won the championship with a time of 6:57.044, and the Japanese team and Kazakhstan team won the second and third places respectively.

　　Whether it is track and field race walking or short track speed skating relay, these Chinese world champions have won honor for the country in the 5,000-meter related events with sweat and hard work. They are the representatives of China's sportsmanship, inspiring generations of athletes to forge ahead, and in the future, I believe that more Chinese athletes will create good results in the 5000m event.
