Jur 486 Posted December 5, 2018 #711 Share Posted December 5, 2018 So apparently the IAAF accepted and send a request to the IOC to get women's 50km in the 2020 olympics. The girls are positive it would get added to the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,502 Posted December 6, 2018 #714 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I still think it's too early to get all that done less than two years before the Olympics...it can't be good for the event to have a repeat of last year's world championships....where there was almost zero competition between the not even 10 participants. intoronto and Col_Frost 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!

To be fair, the Europeans this year were already much different. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit better, yes, but still not what one would call very competitive...it didn't have the excitement the men's race usually have. As a fan of the event, I'd very much prefer to see it on the Olympic program in 2024, so it has a few more championships to become worthy of an Olympic event.

Dunadan 1,103 Posted December 6, 2018 #717 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The IOC should not accept it, it's way past the deadline for proposing new events. Adding it now would only be a gift for a handful of women who are not among the very best race walkers in the world but have found a way to get a good result at the Olympics. It's good for Paris 2024 (but only if the IAAF accepts to use technology, otherwise race walking should be deleted from the programme). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World race walking cup in China was pretty good, even better than europeans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
