Paris Olympics 2024 Athletics: India’s Suraj Panwar and Priyanka Goswami fail to finish in marathon race walk mixed relay final

The Indian sprinting duo of Suraj Panwar and Priyanka Goswami did not finish (DNF) in the final medal match of the marathon race walk mixed relay event in the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024.

Out of the final distance of 42.195 km, the Indian pair could only complete 33.4 km, as their marathon race walk mixed relay race finished just after the third exchange as they received multiple warnings due to several instances of bent knee and loss of contact.

As a result, they finished in the last position in the final round and received an ‘unclassified’ ranking.

Priyanka Goswami had previously failed to qualify in the women’s 20km race walk after finishing 41st out of 45 competitors in the qualification rounds. With this latest defeat in the marathon race walk mixed relay event, Goswami and Panwar’s journey in the ongoing Paris Olympics 2024 is over.

Meanwhile, Spain’s Alvaro Martin and Maria Perez won the gold medal in the marathon race walk mixed relay event after finishing the event with a timing of 2:50:31. The Ecuadorian pair of Brian Daniel Pintado and Glenda Morejon won the silver medal with 2:51:22, and Australia's Rhydian Cowley and Jemima Montag won the bronze medal after finishing third with 2:51:38.
