Spain's Martin defends European 20km race walk title

SPORTS 20.08.2022

Spain's Alvaro Martin retained the 20km race walk title at the European Athletics Championships in Munich on Saturday.

Text size:

Martin, who previously won the Euro title in Berlin in 2018 but finished fourth at last year's Tokyo Olympics, timed a personal best of 1hr 19min 11sec around the streets of the Bavarian capital in cool conditions.

Sweden's Perseus Karlstrom, twice a bronze medallist at last month's world championships in Oregon, claimed silver in 1:19.23, with another Spaniard, Diego Garcia Carrera, rounding out the podium, a further 0.22sec adrift.

Olympic champion Massino Stano of Italy, the world 35km race walk gold medallist, came in eighth more than two minutes off Martin's pace.
