Ace Indian race walker Priyanka Goswami notched her first win of the season, taking the top spot in the women's 10km event at the Austrian Race Walking Championships in Innsbruck.

Goswami clocked 47 minute and 54 second to win the 10km race walk on Monday. Her pet event is, though, 20km race walk in which she holds the national record holder of 1:28:45.

"I finished even after a one minute penalty... it was not easy to finish [to win gold] after the penalty and fever," the 29-year-old Goswami wrote on her social media handles.
