Jur 546 Posted September 6, 2018 #672 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) I'm just reading interviews of spanish race walkers lately talking about women's 50km race walk at the olympics. I know it's not in the programme but I can't believe they don't know about it. And considering who it all went down when the event was added at the World Championships, maybe is happening behind close doors we don't know about? Cause for example Julia Takacs (European bronze medallists) sais she's training to compete in both race walking events in Tokyo.... At 20:45 says they haven't had it sure yet but that things are looking like it's going to be added..... Edited September 6, 2018 by Jur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could remove the mixed 4x400m relay and replace it by the women’s 50km walk I would be pretty happy...

JoshMartini007 2,222 Posted September 6, 2018 #674 Share Posted September 6, 2018 A women's 50km walk in 2020 would at least be more competitive than what happened in 2017. Using the 2017 Worlds qualification standard 21 women (with a max of 3 per NOC) would qualify to the Olympics based on 2018 results, so we are doing a lot better than in 2017 when only six athletes made the standard. I wouldn't oppose a smaller field relative to the men's in 2020 with it expanding in 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy about removing the mixed 4x400m anyway, no matter if they replace it with a 50k walk phelps and NearPup 2 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
