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 hearts: Who is the world champion of China's 5000m? Today, let's explore the answer together.

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

　　In the men's 5000m relay in the winter event 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, the Chinese team sent a luxurious lineup of Sun Long, Liu Shaoang, Liu Shaolin and Li Wenlong. The first stick 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; 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 the rhythm, responded calmly, showed strong strength and teamwork spirit, and won wide praise at home and abroad.

　　In the final of the men's 5000m relay in short track speed skating at the 2025 Turin Winter Games, 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 the Kazakhstan team won the second and third place respectively.

　　Whether it is track and field walking or short track speed skating relay, these Chinese world champions have won honors for the country in 5,000-meter related events with sweat and hard work. They are representatives of Chinese 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.
