Kimberly García once again makes the country happy. The Peruvian walker won the Dudinska 35k in Slovakia with the world record of 2:37:44 hours of time.
LOOK: Peru vs. Germany: How did the Bicolor play without Christian Cueva, the great absentee; and why is it important for a new process?
The Peruvian athlete thus begins her 2023 season, with a great victory in Dudinska where she improved her personal best, the 2:39:16 that she had achieved in the Oregon World Cup.
According to the new regulations of the World Athetics, when withdrawing the distance of the 50km walk, the mark in the 35km walk to be considered as a world record was 2:38:00 hours, a figure that Kimberly García improved by 16 seconds.
And she lowered two seconds the best march that existed in the hands of the Russian Margarita Nikiforova since August last year with 2:37:46 in a competition held in her country.
In second place came the Chinese walker Liu, with 2:40:06. The Ecuadorian Magaly Bonilla completed the podium with third place with a time of 2:46:32.
