BRENDAN BOYCE DELIVERED his season’s best performance in the world championship final to finish 25th in the 35km race walk.
The Donegal native finished in 2:33:31, less than a minute off his personal best, as Italy’s Massimo Stano won gold in Oregon.
Stano edged a tight finish in 2:23:14, just one second clear of Japan’s Masatora Kawano, who took silver.
Sweden’s Perseus Karlstrom — coached by Irish Olympian Rob Heffernan — claimed bronze in 2:23:44, just as he did in the 20km race walk.
