Morning session: Priyanka Goswami wins silver

The racewalkers had a productive session in the morning. Priyanka Goswami clinched the silver in the women's 20km race, while Vikas Singh bags a bronze in the men's race.

National record holder Priyanka clocked 1 hour 34 minutes and 24 seconds to finish second in the women's 20km race walk event behind Yang Liujing (1:32:37) of China. The 27-year-old Priyanka's time, though, was well outside her personal best of 1:28:45, which she had clocked in 2021.
