The results of the Indian Open Race Walking Competition are yet to be updated by the World Athletics (WA) for world championships qualification.

- Avishek Roy

NEW DELHI: The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) said there was a technical glitch in one race (women's 35km) during the April 19 event in Chandigarh, but results of other races will be considered by WA.

Race walkers, however, say that when they reached out to WA, they were told the competition has not met the set "standards and criteria" and therefore the results are not considered for ranking points towards the Tokyo World Championships in September.
