In this event the most interesting result was obtained.
 
Victory to Justin Bournier (FRA), born in 1999 and therefore still in the category U18 who finished the race in the time of 42:31.
The young French athlete last May 21, 2017 in the European Cup at Podebrady had finished 6th with his personal best of 42:14, and on Sunday he established his second ever performance on the distance.
 
In the table below his 5 best performances on the 10km, remembering that Justin Bournier also has registered on the distance of 10.000m track walk an excellent 42:47.29 established in Dreux (FRA) on July 2, 2017 when he finished second at the French Championships U20.
