"VAN" (Sports Desk - 19.05.2025) :: Italy's Massimo Stano broke the short-lived world 35km race walk record at the European Race Walking Team Championships - a World Athletics Race Walking Tour Gold meeting - in Podebrady on Sunday (18) by a massive 57 seconds. The 2:20:43 recorded by the 2021 Olympic champion comfortably eclipsed the 2:21:40 set by Canadian Evan Dunfee in March, which in itself was seven seconds quicker than the 2:21:47 recorded by Japan's Masatora Kawano last October. Stano took over the lead at 23km, and went through the gears to record laps under 4:00m in the closing stages.
