Fans of 50km Race Walking with Slovak language commentary are in for a treat this weekend.

 

 

Sadly there no more 50km races, only the name remains as Dudinská fifty. But the races will be 35km for both M & W

 

However the start list are pretty well packed as such prestigious event like the Dudince race deserve https://statistika.atletika.sk/prihlasky/zoznam-prihlasok/65194

 

PS: : the weather forecast for tomorrow predict strong rain and cold, gonna be fun

Oh damn, I was all excited for a 50k today, but even the Dudinska has been killed off thanks to World Athletics' nonsense? :yikes::( 

 

Well, I guess I'll still turn it on for a bit anyway, strong rain and cold is after all perfect weather for (watching) a race like this, and the start list does indeed look excellent :d

2:37.44 world record for Kimberley Garcia Leon. Local commentator seemed a little enthousiastic, announcing the record when she hadn't crossed the line yet, she only had one second left to break it :d 

 

But Leon having the WR in Dudinska sounds a hell of a lot better than Nikiforova setting it in Chelyabinsk, considering the reputation of Russian race walking :p

If pace id maintained I think Mexico might get up to 4 quotas for Paris today :thumbup:

In the end, only Alegna González got the quota :MEX for Paris.

 

Hope next major competition sees more athetes qualified. Just 3 this time, a guy from :COL & :SWE Karlstrom in the men’s side.

Was the 6th Athletics World Record achieved on Slovak territory and first ever since the independence. The last one was Sergei Bubka in Bratislava 1988

Ah yes, that ferocious :SVK grammatical rule which refuses to accept that any non-Slovak woman has the right to her own name. :evil:

In hindsight I think this is a big win for Russia. Lifting that state-sponsored doping ban would always be the more difficult task and could have been extended indefinitely. Now it's gone and people don't notice it since the war is more important. After the war ends you will be Russians reinstated into competition and many people will wonder what happened with the doping ban.

I am certainly not a fan of Russia, but doping-wise the only thing you can really blame them for is that they were too stupid to cover it up properly. Everyone always knew that Russia wouldn’t change, so I guess the plan was to wait with letting them back in until the public had forgotten about their Doping Problem. What I don’t quite understand is why the western countries can’t use their (political) influence to kick Russia out completely. This would make it much easier for western countries to win more medals. I guess either the western countries have other interests or Russia just has more power over the IOC.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
