Kimberly García thought she set the world record in the women's 20-kilometer walk race at the Pan American Games but later found out she didn't because of 'a measuring problem' with the course.
SANTIAGO, Chile -- Peru's Kimberly García thought she set the world record in the women's 20-kilometer walk race at the Pan American Games. She later found out she didn't.
Kimberly García finished the 20 kilometers walk race in 1 hour, 12 minutes and 26 seconds -- a world record that wasn't after"a measuring problem" on the course meant the distance was 3 kilometers shorter than required. García finished her race in a cold and damp morning in 1 hour, 12 minutes and 26 seconds. The record belongs to China's Jiayu Yang in 1:23:49.
"He did not take accurate measurements of the route the athletes took during the race," organizers said."We deeply regret the inconvenience for the athletes, their coaches, the public and the attending press, but this situation cannot be attributed to the Organizing Committee."The mistake delayed the men's competition by one hour. The walk race requires competitors to always have at least one foot on the ground.
