China's best result in the 5000m for women

　　In the field of track and field, the women's 5000m event always shines with the light of the hard work of Chinese athletes, who write their own legends with sweat and perseverance, and refresh the best results of the Chinese women's 5000m again and again.

　　The brilliant results of the Chinese women's 5000m start with Wang Junxia. The famous Chinese track and field player set a new national student record in the women's 5000m final of the 1993 World Championships held in Stuttgart with a time of 14 minutes 51.92 seconds.This result was also an Asian record and a world record at the time。 Wang Junxia's strong strength and perseverance on the field have pushed the Chinese women's 5000m to the height of the world, and also established her unshakable position in the history of Chinese women's long-distance running.

　　In the women's 5000m final of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Wang Junxia once again shone and won the first Olympic gold medal in middle-distance running in China and even Asia with a time of 14:59.88, which was also the first women's 5000m gold medal in Olympic history. Since then, there have been many talents in the Chinese women's 5000m field. In the women's 5000m final of the 8th National Games in 1997, Liaoning stars Jiang Bo and Dong Yanmei, and Shandong star Liu Shixiang won the top three with times of 14:28.09, 14:29.82, and 14:38.14 respectively, and worked together to break the women's 5,000m world record, allowing the world to once again witness the strong strength of Chinese women's middle-distance running.

　　At the 2002 Busan Asian Games, Sun Yingjie won the championship with a time of 14:40.41, becoming the first Asian Games gold medal for the Chinese women's 5000m, which also ranked second in the world in the women's 5000m that year.

　　However, after 2013, the Chinese women's 5000m as a whole fell into a trough, and it was difficult for anyone to run into the 15-point mark. But the Chinese athletes have not given up and have been working hard to break through. On April 16, 2022, in the women's 5000m final of the Athletics Charter held at the Shanghai Xinzhuang Training Base, Shanghai's Xu Shuangshuang played well, winning the first place with a time of 15 minutes 23.41 seconds, improving the personal best set in 2019 by 3.03 seconds.This is also the best result of a Chinese female player in this event since 2015。

　　These Chinese women's 5000m runners have created one proud result after another with their blood and perseverance. Their spirit of constantly breaking through themselves has inspired generations of athletes to chase their dreams in the track and field arena, and has also left a strong mark on the world track and field stage of the Chinese women's 5000m event.
