The 5,000 km world record represents the highest level of humanity in this event. So far, the men's 5,000 meters world record has been set by Uganda's Joshua Cheputgai in 12:35.36. In the video of that match that changed history, Cheptegei showed amazing form from the start. In the early stages of the race, led by three "rabbits", he kept his pace steady, with a time of 2:31.87 in the first kilometer and 2:31.90 in the second kilometer. After 2,400 meters, Cheptegei overtook the rabbit with great strength and began to attack the world record on his own. The last six laps were 60.03 seconds, 60.10 seconds, 60.18 seconds, 60.33 seconds, 59.97 seconds and 59.64 seconds, and finally managed to set a new record, averaging 60.43 seconds per lap, 2 minutes 30 seconds per kilometer, and 4 minutes 03.07 seconds per mile.
