China’s Liu breaks race walk world record
Print Edition
CHINA’S Liu Hong smashed the women’s 20-kilometer race walk world record by nearly 25 seconds at an event in Spain on Saturday.
The 28-year-old set a time of 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 38 seconds in the Spanish leg of the 2015 IAAF Race Walking Challenge in La Coruna. She beat the time of 1:25:02 set by Russia’s Yelena Lashmanova when winning at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Russians Olimpiada Ivanova and Olga Kaniskina have since set faster times (1:24:50 and 1:24:54) but neither have been recognized because not enough international judges were present. Liu’s time has still to be ratified by the IAAF, however.
