Japanese racewalker clocks 1:16:36 to better Yohann Diniz’s week-old mark

Yusuke Suzuki broke the 20km race walk world record at the Asian Race Walking Championships on Sunday.

Clocking 1:16:36, the Japanese racewalker bettered the world record mark that Yohann Diniz had set just a week before at the French Championships in Arles.

Competing in his home town of Nomi, Suzuki went through 10km in a national record time of 38:05.

He maintained that pace, passing 12km in 45:45 and 14km in 53:23 before slowing slightly to go through 16km in 1:01:07 but it was easily still fast enough to break Diniz’s world record at 20km, taking 26 seconds off the mark as he claimed his third Asian title.

Split times via iaaf.org. Suzuki’s world record is subject to IAAF ratification. Diniz’s mark had also not yet been ratified
