| "I was always in the leading pack throughout the race but was not aware who was walking close to me and so I didn't realise that Yan (WANG) was walking so well. After 15km I knew that I would win today. The longer race is more suited to me, much better than the old 10k walk". |
| Silver Medallist - WANG, Yan (CHN) |
| "I'm very proud that we have two chinese medallists today. When the Belarussian (Kardopoltseva) was disqualified I thought that I would be in the medals. This was the decisive point of the race. For me I prefer the shorter distance of 10k but with my performance today I can hardly complain about 20km." |
| Medalla de plata - WANG, Yan (CHN) |
| "Estoy realmente orgullosa de que hayamos conseguido dos medallas para China hoy. Cuando la bielorusa (Kardopoltseva) fue descalificada pense que conseguiria una medalla. Este fue el punto decisivo de la carrera. Prefiero la distancia mas corta de 10km pero con mi actuacion de hoy no puedo quejarme de los 20km". |
| Bronze Medallist - SAXBY-JUNNA Kerry (AUS) |
| "I have had a lot of injuries since having my child. However, I woke up this morning and didn't feel sick and thought to myself, this could just be a good day. Experience is what counts in championships. It's often the deciding factor because you have seen everything before. You can't knock that sort of advantage. The confidence it gives you is beyond price and is one of the main reasons for my medal today." |
| Medalla de oro - LIU, Hongyu (CHN) |
| "Durante toda la carrera estuve en el grupo de cabeza pero no era consciente de quien iba marchando conmigo asi que no me di cuenta de que Yan (WANG) estaba haciendolo tan bien. Despues del kilometro 15 sabia que ganaria hoy. La carrera larga me va mucho mejor que los antiguos 10km". |
| Medalla de bronce - SAXBY-JUNNA, Kerry (AUS) |
"He tenido muchas lesiones desde que tuve a mi bebe.
Sin embargo, esta manana me desperte y no me sentia mal y pense para mi misma 'este puede
ser un buen dia'. La experiencia es lo que cuenta en los Campeonatos. A menudo es el
factor decisivo porque ya lo has visto todo antes. No puedes competir con esa clase de
ventaja. La confianza que te da no tiene precio y es una de las principales razones de la
medalla".  |
