Tried to help Michal Morvay as pace maker. The national champion earn many points for the olympic rankng so he tried to make the pace for Morvay and then dnf to let Michal win the title and points.

 

It was staged already weeks before the race, when he achieved the direct olympic standard in October himself.

That Valencia half marathon was a bit of an epic show, Kamworor's WR was 58.01 and today the entire top-4 went under 58 minutes :bowdown:

 

Also says something about the strength of Kamworor's WR and about the shoe technology improvements :p

This is probably the only forum where walking fans discuss how good the Olympic champion is as a pacemaker...

They will repeat the same thing in next year national championship in March with Morvay staged to win the max points for national champion. that should be apparently enough to make the Olympics via ranking

Indoor World Championships which had to take place in Nanjing earlier this year, were postponed to March 2021 are now postponed again... This time for 2023

The good news - or at least the delayed bad news - is that the World Indoor Tour goes ahead, with Karslruhe January 29th as the first major Gold Standard event.  :mumble:
