At British Indoor Championships in Sheffield gold for Tom Bosworth and Emma Church, but in women won the Italian Tatyana Gabellone.

3.000 indoor walk men

Tom Bosworth was looking to repeat his victory of 12 months ago and so he did, crossing the line to not only retain the Senior crown but also break his own personal best by 15 seconds and slice eight seconds off Belgrave Harrier Alex Wright’s 2013 British all-time mark with 11:15.81. 

In second place was Callum Wilkinson whose 11:39.87 took the junior mark beneath 12 minutes for the first time and bettered Cameron Corbishley (12:09.78) recently set Junior Record.

The women's event saw the return to competition of UK based Academic and Italian international Tatyana Gabellone. 

She all but lapped the field to finish first with 13:47.75. Alas, with 3 Olympic qualifiers in 2015, she still only ranks 7th on times amongst her country women in Italy. 

Junior Emma Achurch clocked 14:34.67 to take the title for the second year in a row. The fight for third was tight with Ana Garcia (15:07.48) surrendering a lead in the shadow of the post to the older Sophie Lewis Ward (15:07.38).
