| Overview by IAAF |
|
 |
| A new walking star emerged in the shape of 21 year-old Didoni, who became the youngest ever male walking world champion. The Italian was among the leading pack at halfway (40:31). He fell back temporarily, but returned on the last 2Km loop to battle with García and Massana for the medals. Defending champion Massana was the first to fall back. Then with 250m remaining García was disqualified. Didoni went on to win with a personal best. Italy were thought to have taken the bronze medal though De Benedictis, but he received his third and fourth red cards in the finishing straight and was disqualified after the finish. |
| These are the official results of the Men's 20 km Walk event at the 1995 World Championships held on Sunday 6 August 1995 in Gothenburg, Sweden. There were a total number of 46 participating athletes and two non-starters. |
