A new record in marathon for was set last week in Germany by Iván Zarco with 2:17:46.

 

Nothing groundbreaking or weird to this, except for the fact that it wasnt Iván Zarco running. Photos of the event show that it was spanish athlete Camilo Santiago running with his bib. Idk what happened there, but WA is giving it as a national record for Ivan when it wasnt even him racing. I smell something fishy.

Men's 20k walk was won by Callum Wilkinson outside the Olympic Qualifying time. 2nd place Tom Bosworth already has the Q and books his place in Tokyo.

Wilkinson will automatically be selected if he makes the qualifying time between now and June.

Women's 20k was won by Heather Lewis with Bethan Davies 2nd. Both missed the Q time but will be automatically selected for Tokyo if they record a qualifying time before June.
