Markov type of Alexandrov spaces of nonnegative curvature

We prove that Alexandrov spaces $X$ of nonnegative curvature have Markov type 2 in the sense of Ball. As a corollary, any Lipschitz continuous map from a subset of $X$ into a 2-uniformly convex Banach space is extended as a Lipschitz continuous map on the entire space $X$.
