Ecuadorean makes late pass to win 50-kilometer walk at Pan Ams

Ecuador's Xavier Moreno
overcame Horacio Nava of Mexico late in the race to win the
50-kilometer walk Saturday in the last full day of
competitions at the Pan American Games, according to AP.
Nava led most of the race under constant rain at the
Flamengo Park, but Moreno pushed hard at the end and passed
him in the final kilometer to win in 3 hours, 52 minutes, 7
seconds. Nava finished 28 seconds behind, ahead of
countryman Omar Zepeda de Leon.
Argentina's Carlos Mercenario holds the Pan Ams record of
3:47:55, achieved in the Mar del Plata games in 1995.
