Peru’s Kimberly Garcia Leon broke the 35 kilometers race walk world record on Saturday with a time of two hours 37 minutes and 44 seconds in Dudince, Slovakia.
The world champion in both the 20 kilometers and 35 kilometers walk broke the previous record of 2:38:24 set by Russian Klavdiya Afanasyeva in 2019, in a warning to her rivals ahead of the Paris Olympics next year.
