Official final

The World Athletics final classification records China’s Shi Shengji as winner of the men’s half-marathon race walk at the 20th Asian Games in 1:23:32. Japan’s Toshikazu Yamanishi finished second in 1:28:01 and South Korea’s Choe Byeongkwang third in 1:28:35. The Asian Athletics results portal also lists Shi’s 1:23:32 in a Wednesday 23 September final, while Olympics.com’s results roundup publishes the same three medal positions and times.

A completed result

The Aichi-Nagoya organising committee schedule set the men’s and women’s half-marathon walks for simultaneous 07:30 starts on 23 September. That schedule matches the Asian Athletics listing. World Athletics labels the men’s event a Day 1 final, and the two official result services now show it as complete.

Penalties in the final classification

Kyodo News and Xinhua report that China’s Li Chenjie was disqualified after receiving four red cards. The official World Athletics classification also marks Li DQ. The published classification remains Shi first, Yamanishi second and Choe third, with no alteration to the listed medal positions.
