Dude  

 

The only way this relay should be allowed to stay is if the 20k is discontinued and replaced with the 50k. Now that would be awesome, since race walking is a sport for long distances and 20k is too short...

50km didn't have half the entertainment this relay offers AND I WILL DIE ON THAT HILL.

 

 

Also, the level in 50km was mediocre at best...  Marc Tur almost being an olympic medallist in Tokio20 was a joke lmao

No I agree, the entertainment in the first 5km of the 50km was mediocre, it was only entertaining in the last 45km with tons of position changes and comebacks and attacks and everything  

 

Also: nothing personal of course, so I genuinely hope you won't actually die on any hill

I was afraid athletes peaked one month too early this year. Definitely not the same shape as it was in Roma

Stano suffered a bad injury by slipping on a bottle during the race, Palmisano clearly had serious health problems. Unfortunately we were unlucky, the luck of 2021 was given to us with interest

Stano was injured in the race walk world team championships and because of that Italy only had one spot (thanks to Fortunato and the other lady, but sadly they were not allowed to use their spot and the clearly not entirely fit Stano was chosen ).

Not the best run from Skrzyszowska but she finished 3rd and makes SF.

 

Big crash for Jenneke but she finished and will be in repechages.
