First time since 1991 (!) that there's no Jesus Angel Garcia in the 50k :cry:

 

Did he retire?

No.

He didn't compete at National Championships because he expected his performance in 2016 to be enough to be added to the team, but 3 men match the qualification criteria and he was left out.

Also, any news in the women's 50km race walk entrys?

 

Inês Henriques and Erin Talcott both confirmed they would compete, but what about the other three girls that matched criteria?

Has Henriques definitely been confirmed as an entrant?

Her qualifying time was set in a race that wasn't approved as a qualifying competition so the IAAF would have to change the rules to get her in.

Well, her time there was ratified as a World record. Makes no sense that it doesn't count for qualification. :dunno:

According to portuguese press, Inès is compiting in 50km:

Well I hope the 2 chinese athletes and the brazilian compete. In my opinion IAAF should open their hand a little bit and invite up to 10 athletes, at least for having an accepting number...

Or, like Evan Dunfee suggested, tell all 20km competitors they can start in the 50 if they want. It's not perfect, but surely there are several who'd like to give it a try.
