Incredible results on the first day of the Russian March Championships in Cheboksary.
20km road walk women
This race offered the local audience the most incredible result with the victory of Yelena Lashmanova (RUS) with a time of 1 minute less than the actual world record set by Liu Hong at La Coruña in 2015.
The time of the Russian athlete, winner in London 2012 was 1:23:39.
These are her split times every 5km.

Second place to Sofiya Brodatskaya (RUS) in 1:27:41
Third place to Reykhan Kagramanova (RUS) in 1:29:50
As also indicated by RusAthletics these results can not be recognized by the IAAF. In particular the performance of Lashmanova will not be ratified as a world record given the absence of at least three international judges in judging the race. (click here)
