2007 World Championships in Athletics – Men's 20 kilometres walk
The men's 20 kilometres walk event at the 2007 World Championships in Athletics took place on August 26, 2007 in the streets of Osaka, Japan.
The event saw some controversy as Paquillo Fernández, who finished second after overtaking Hatem Ghoula in the final straight, was disqualified after the race for lifting. However, following an appeal by the Spanish team the same day, video evidence was examined and Fernández was found to have walked in compliance with the rules. He was thus re-awarded the silver medal.
Jefferson Pérez became the first race walker to win three World Championship gold medals. Also, Fernández won his third consecutive silver medal. Hatem Ghoula became the first African race walker to win a World Championship medal.

gollark: Rust also has no garbage collection.
gollark: See the ++ at the end? It means that C++ itself isn't great but stuff coming after it is useful!Seriously, postincrement is evil.
gollark: Given that Rust is basically saner C++.
gollark: Yes, and C++ has fewer than most.
