Canadian Record in Men's 20km Race Walk was improved again today in Nomi, Japan to 1:19:20 by Inaki Gomez. The record has been swapped between Gomez, Evan Dunfee, and Ben Thorne and more than 1 1/2 minutes have been shaved off of it since London 2012 (where Gomez set the then-record 1:20:58)

Pinto and Wester were pretty disappointing in Portland, but they are both pretty young, so its ok. It was the first time that Wester competed for Germany and Pinto didnt compete internationally last year, so she might have been a bit nervous. Heß improved his PB again to 17.14 in Portland and his 5th jump was about 17.60, but sadly it didnt count. Heß could even be a medal contender in Rio, if Tamgho wont get back to his old shape. 17.50 could be enough for a medal in Rio and Heß has the ability to do it. For Wester it will be pretty difficult to qualify for Rio, considering that Malkus, Mihambo and Moguenara all jumped at least 6.90 in one of the last two years. I would say that Wester and Mihambo will definitely qualify and the third place will probably go to Moguenara. Pinto has to lead our very young relay in Rio, i think she will be the oldest member of our relay, with just 24 years of age. We have tons of potential on the womens side (Butzek, Lückenkemper, Mayer, Kwadwo), but Rio might be too early. I think the medals will go to Jamaica, USA and GB. I am happy that we finally got some talent in track events. Last year we won 2 individual medals in track events, for the first time since 1999. Both Roleder and Krause clearly improved their PBs this winter, so they could really fight for a medal in Rio. In addition to that we could also fight for a medal in womens 800 m (Kohlmann, Hering) and mens 1500 m (Tesfaye). I am most impressed by Klosterhalfen, she was running very fast from 800 m to 10000 m this winter and set multiple records. At 800 m she improved the 36 year old german u20 indoor record by running 2:03:37. At 1500 m and 3000 m she set new european u20 indoor records. She also improved the 26 year old german 10 km road race u20 record (33:03) by running 32:24. I think if she wont get injured, she could qualify at 1500 m and/or 5000 m and/or 10000 m for Rio.

Germany is a country full of potential, especially while u have a clean sport u can use todays situation to your favour in next few years

You will have bigger team than Croatia in athletics and yet Slovakia is regularly in the lowest division of European team championships. I guess no walking at team championships hurts you.

yes, but almost half of the team are race walkers, so if we count only the track and field athletes, we will have one of the smallest delegation as usual

 

oh yes, sure very sad, but never mind, the main goal of the year is Rio and our first historic athletics olympic medal! let´s hope..with a bit of luck...
