5000 mtrs= 5km? too much for school sport , Education Ministry must review all and must give medical fitness test for all student who particiapate sports.

Schools max distance is 2000m or 3000m. For 5000m you need lot of training. There is no proper physical training teachers ... via DM Android App

This is the third such incident in the country. Still the authorities are in deep slumber without making health checkups mandatory in schools to screen for fatal heart ailments and other dissases via DM Android App

The longest we did at school was the 1500. This was so even at the public school meets. Anyway, it seems like this child had run without proper practise.
