Maybe race Walk could get accepted in Sweden finally. Not until this year the Swedish Athletics Association vites to recognize race walk as part of athletics! They have had their own small association before.

Nice bit of comedy when the cameras showed Matsunaga...from the front AND in slow motion  

[Vic Liu 1,687]

Anyone knows the format of mixed team race walking of Paris 2024?  is not the best of either women or men 35km, but when it comes to 2 or 4 persons as a team, I think we have chance to win.

Still not decided it seems.

 

First proposals were to just count the 2 best W + 2 best M times combined, but there were some strong opposition to that according to our athletics guru Alfons Juck

Quite a list of times the guys managed to walk themselves into today, the company of Kanaykin, Bakulin, Nizhegorodov etc   (of course from times when the 35km wasn't taken so seriously yet)

To be fair, there are quite some athletes where you can pause and go frame by frame all you want, you won't see two feet in the air
