| Overview by IAAF |
|
 |
| Most of the field were still in contention at halfway (42:26), and there were no major breaks until 17Km, when Massana went to the front. A pack of nine got away, but of these four were ultimately to be disqualified. Massana, who himself was disqualified at the previous year’s Olympic Games when heading for a medal, pulled clear with a second half of 40:01. It looked as if Shchennikov would repeat his 1991 silver, but both he and third-placed García were disqualified late in the race. In García’s case he had already entered the stadium. There had been a delay in relaying news of the disqualifications to those whose job it was to remove the walkers from the race. |
| These are the official results of the Men's 20 km Walk event at the 1993 World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. There were a total of 48 participating athletes, with the final held on Sunday August 15, 1993. |
