Same medalists for women’s 35km race walk?

[Monzanator 4,525]

Yeah, looks like it. 3 kms left.

[Monzanator 4,525]

Gold for Garcia Leon. Silver for Zdzieblo and bronze for Qieyang

 

Poland improves to 1-3-0 in the medals but nobody expected half of them would come in race walking

 

Ntrismpioti in fourth place ahead of two Spaniards.

Things a lot better organised -wise this time. Embassy has been on the case! Fans at course-side, Kimberly given a flag…

 

Should bring back the 50km though, just not cruel & gruelling enough.

What an epic flop this is for the brand-new, youthful and urban distance of arbitrary 35 km.

@hckošiceNational Record for - under three hours and 23rd place for Burzalova

The depth in women's race walk is quite shallow so I'm not quite surprised.

 

Maybe it's from my high school days, but I would love to see a race walk "sprint" of 2km be held one day

so the youngest member of our mini-mini-mini-mini-mini-mini-mini-mini-mini-mini-mini-mini team at the end achieved the best result and made at least some decent final point on our participation in Eugene.

 

Well done Hana.

Magic shoes WR, really.

 

Johnson getting beaten and Flo-Jo almost too in one day should raise all kinds of red flags.

Unlike the longer distances I didn't think the "magic" shoes used in the sprints were particularly helpful. Maybe sometime soon we'll find out that there is instead a new undetectable performance enhancer.
