Russia swept the board in the men's 20km walk as they grabbed a 1-2-3 in the event.

Roman Rasskazov, who holds the world's best time for the distance, took gold in a time of 1.20.31, two seconds ahead of Ilya Markov.

Markov saw off team-mate Viktor Burayev who he passed in the stadium over the final few hundred yards in the battle for silver, Burayev missing out by just three seconds.
