From indoor competitions to outdoor field races, the spring and autumn marathon seasons, as well as the complete season of the continental and international arenas, athletes in the middle running, long-distance running and marathon events have broken through historical achievements, and the men's marathon has broken the national record twice in one year.
In 2023, the editorial department of 98 Run will continue to select the top ten athletes of the year. The selection is based on comprehensive consideration of the achievements of the competition, project breakthroughs, performance references, and athletes' contributions to the national team and provincial team.
A total of 24 athletes were nominated in the primary selection, and 5 athletes from each gender were selected to form the top 10 athletes of the year through internal voting. The rankings are in no particular order, and are only for the reference of runners.
He Jie, born in 1998, is from Ningxia and studied under Coach Xiao Li. After breaking the national record and winning the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games, He Jie's story is becoming more and more well-known, and I will not repeat it here.
In the 2023 season, He Jie arranged ten marathons, and in March, Wuxi broke the national record that had been in the dust for 15 years with a time of 2:07:30. At the Hangzhou Asian Games in October, he won the first Asian Games gold medal in the Chinese men's marathon in 2:13:02. These are He Jie's two "hardest" achievements this year.
In addition, He Jie represented the national team in the World Championships in Budapest, defeated all foreign runners in the Shenzhen Marathon and Wuhan Marathon to win the championship, and he was also the winner in the same race with his predecessors Dong Guojian and Yang Shaohui. In the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, the Grand Prix Rizhao Station is the only track race this year, and He Jie has also refreshed the PB.
Yang Shaohui, a Yunnan runner, was born in 1992 in the Mesozoic Generation, studied under the famous coach Zhang Guowei, and is now the national record holder of the men's marathon.
Yang Shaohui surpassed the original national record with He Jie in Wuxi, with a time of 2:07:49. He then represented the national team at the World Championships in Budapest and the Asian Games in Hangzhou, where he won the bronze medal in the men's marathon. At the Fukuoka International Marathon at the end of the year, Yang Shaohui once again set a new national record with a time of 2:07:09.
Yang Shaohui occupies two of the top three marathons in the history of China, breaking the record twice in the same season and running within 208 twice, which is the first time in the history of Chinese male marathon runners to do so.
Tashi Tsering, born in 2002, is from ** Autonomous Region and studied under Coach Gesang Tsering. The 20-year-old had an outstanding performance at the National Games two years ago, and this season has ushered in a comprehensive improvement.

Liu Dezhu, born in 2000, is from Guangxi, and studied under the national team coach Shi Peng, specializing in middle-distance events. Through the precipitation and improvement of external training in recent years, Liu Dezhu has shown a more calm performance in both running rankings and running results.
In the 800m event, Liu Dezhu broke the PB twice this season, first running 1:47 in the United States36. In July, he ran 1:46 at the Asian Championships in Bangkok77 ranks fourth all-time, which is only 0.0 years short of Teng Haining's national record45 seconds.
In the indoor race at the beginning of the 1500m event, Liu Dezhu and Xie Dongsheng won 3:43The 40 set a new national record in the indoor 1500m and ran a 3:38 in the United States in the middle of the year88, creating the best result in the men's 1500m in nearly 20 years.

In the domestic arena, he won the double championship of the Shenyang Championship and Trials, and Liu Dezhu also participated in the Asian Games and the Universiade in the intensive season. Although there is still a certain gap between the Olympic standards, we can expect Liu to move closer to the national record next season and perform on the continental stage.
Chen Tianyu, born in 1997, is from Yunnan Province and studied under Coach Zhu Ronghua. From blooming in Nanjing three years ago, to training with the national team, he has now grown into a marathon 208 runner.
Chen Tianyu's track racing ability has made great progress since his training, and he ran 28:25 in the 10,000m in the United States in April03, creating the best Chinese men's 10,000-meter result in the past 14 years, ranking first in the season for two consecutive years. In October's Beijing Marathon and National Marathon Championships, Chen Tianyu ran 2:08:11, one step away from reaching the Olympic standard, and was also the best Chinese athlete in the history of the "national marathon" Beijing Marathon, surpassing his predecessor Ren Longyun.
At the Chengdu Championship, Chen Tianyu won the silver medal in the half marathon team with his teammates, and also represented the national team in the 10,000-meter event at the Asian Championships in Bangkok.
Despite the fruitful 2023 season, based on the level shown in the external training competition, we expect much more from Chen Tianyu. For example, can the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters be more dominant in the domestic arena?Will it be more inclined to a track race or a marathon?It's all about waiting to be revealed next season.
Other men's nominees: Feng Peiyou, Xu Wenhao, Dong Guojian, Wu Xiangdong, Xie Dongsheng, Yin Shunjin, Jia Orenga.

In the Nagoya Marathon in March, Zhang Deshun ran 2:24:05 to create the best result in the women's marathon in the past 11 years, and the Chinese women's marathon hovered around 226 After many years, Zhang Deshun became the game-breaker, and the result also ranked among the top ten in history.

Due to injuries and other reasons, He Wuxia was unable to participate in the World Championships in Budapest and the Asian Games in Hangzhou, and her domestic season form has not reached its peak, and we expect that in 2024, He Wuxia can translate her results into more major rankings.

Other women's nominees: Li Yaxuan, Liang Tiantian, Wu Hongjiao, Li Zhixuan, Bai Li, Zhang Xinyan, Ma Xiuzhen.
Looking back at 2023, the competition is full of tasks, and different athletes and sports teams have different priorities for preparation. In the context of the return of the city marathon, many runners have refreshed the PB and jointly promoted the improvement of the project level.
There are no non-system athletes selected in the top 10 athletes selected by 98 Run this year, and it is really difficult to balance the best of the best, but we still remember the outstanding performance and personal growth of these athletes on the field.
For example, Jia Orenga, the first Volkswagen player to break through the 210 mark, broke the PB this year and ran into the international athlete standard Li Bo, Cen Wanjiang, Miller Ati, and Guan Yousheng. as well as Ding Changqin, Huang Xuemei, Jiao Jingjing and other players.
Based on different perspectives and considerations, track and field enthusiasts will have different candidates in their minds. The exciting 2023 season is over, and they are all indispensable and important chapters in the storyline. There are no eternal champions, and there are no eternal records, which is the source of the charm of competitive sports.
