Perez strikes double world gold with second race walk victory
Spain's Maria Perez struck double gold after winning the 20km race walk at the world championships in Tokyo on Saturday.
Perez, who won the 35km race walk last weekend, clocked a season's best of 1hr 25min 54sec for victory in the shorter event.
It meant the 29-year-old defended both titles after also winning the double in the last worlds in Budapest in 2023.
Mexico's Alegna Gonzalez was second in 1:26:06 while Japan's Nanako Fujii set a national record of 1:26:18 for bronze.
China’s world record-holder and reigning Olympic champion Yang Jiayu came in sixth behind Ecuador's Paula Milena Torres and Peruvian Kimberly Garcia Leon, double world gold winner in Eugene in 2022.
