Confirmed final
China’s Yang Liujing won the women’s half-marathon race walk final at the 20th Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, on 23 September. The World Athletics final classification records the completed final, and the Asian Athletics competition page lists the event on Wednesday 23 September at 07:30.
Yang finished in 1:33:40. Kazakhstan’s Kristina Morozova placed second in 1:35:25, and China’s Jiang Yunyan placed third in 1:35:26. The Olympic Council of Asia report gives the same three medal winners and times. Xinhua’s report separately confirms Yang’s win and Morozova’s second place, one second ahead of Jiang.
Medal positions
The result means China took gold through Yang and bronze through Jiang, while Kazakhstan took silver through Morozova. World Athletics lists the athletes in that order; the OCA and Xinhua reports identify the same medal allocation. The official classification and the Asian Athletics event page also identify Yang as the Chinese winner in 1:33:40.
The three finishing times distinguish each medal position. Morozova’s 1:35:25 was one second quicker than Jiang’s 1:35:26, as shown in the official classification and reported by Xinhua.
