Jefferson PEREZ - Ecuador - Olympic Games & World 20k race walk Champion.

Jefferson is pictured above about to cross the line to win gold in the 20km Walk at the 2005

World Championships in Helsinki. His time of 1: 18.35 was a seasons best and comfortably

won him the gold ahead of Spain's Francisco Fernandez. Indeed, the difference of 1min 1sec

was the biggest winning margin since the 20km Walk was introduced to the

World Championships in 1987.
