Sunday, October 29, 2023.- Regarding the female race walk event held today in Parque O'Higgins, we inform that, due to a measurement issue, exclusive responsibility of the Association of Pan American Athletics (APA), the results obtained in this race are annulled.

This was due to the fact that the expert commissioned by APA, Mr. Marcelo Ithurralde, was not accurate in the measurements of the routes to be taken by the athletes.

According to the international regulations, APA is the only organization authorized to measure and is therefore responsible for the official distance of the competition.

On its behalf, the Santiago 2023 Corporation is in charge of hiring the expert appointed by APA and facilitating his work in the field of play.

We deeply regret the inconvenience to the athletes, their coaches, the public, and the attending press, but this situation is beyond the scope of the Organizing Committee.
