Liu breaks 50km record
Print Edition
Rio Olympics race walk champion Liu Hong broke the 50-kilometer world record and became the first woman to dip under the four-hour mark at an event in Huangshan, east China’s Anhui Province, on Saturday, the International Association of Athletics Federations said. Liu, who won the Olympic 20km gold in Rio, clocked three hours, 59 minutes and 15 seconds for the longer race, clipping more than five minutes off the previous record (4:04:36) set by compatriot Liang Rui in Taicang last year. The 31-year-old now holds the world record for both the 20km and 50km distances, having clocked 1:24:38 in La Coruna, Spain, in 2015 for the shorter distance.
