Chinese sprinter Zhang Peimeng trimmed his own national record to 10.00 seconds in the semifinal of the men's 100-meter race at the 2013 IAAF World Athletics Championships in Moscow on August 11. He finished fifth in the group and failed to enter the final.

Zhang was born in 1987 to a pole-vaulting father and a high-jump athlete mother. He won the men's 100-meter races at the National Athletics Championships in 2007 and the 18th Asian Athletics Championships in 2009.
