Yes, but when less and less countries are willing to host events, this is what we get. No offense, but Greece currently can’t host any event of this standard...

Same goes for a lot of Europe and the West because it’s become unpopular to host such things

If IAAF allowed other countries to co-host the race walking events/marathons in a separate tournament everything would be fine, there were some countres wanting to do it

Doha is sleeping and the athletes are walking 50 km

All in all, this was a big fail from IAAF

3 AM local time. this is insane

Maria Katerinka Czaková DNF right now with huge stomach problems

so race over for

Todays winning time will be the worst ever, even worse than the one from Tokyo 1990 WCH. Estimated now slightly above 4 hours

TOP10 in marathon was qualifiyed, but I don't know if today also in race walking qualifies too.....

I know about the marathon, but there were no info about this for the RW, if 10 nations would qualify I guarantee you Matej would never DNF and tried to make the top 10

Just now, Jur said:

A TOP10 here is Olympic Qualification?

No. why ?

There no even chance to achieve one olympic standard tonight, even Suzuki is going for a 3:56-58

well, it looks like the conditions suit much more the Asians athletes

Sad, he was upfront for a long time.

well this was expected, since his goal was to win gold

Apparently the teams including our is pissed, becazse and this is really shocking, there were huge issues with lack of cold water in the refreshing stations ! Also there no the traditional showers in the track, athletes having enormous problems to refresh their bodies. even if the OC promised to prepare everything

Anyway, that was a good move from Matej to retire, the Olympic standard is impossible to be achieved here, and really there no reason to sacrifice his health and body, next year will be much more important. Trying the Tokyo standard in Dudince in March and then the official 50k farewell in Tokyo

Haukenes 3 red cards he´ll must pit stopping

For the love of race walking, stay awake man.

Tóth does not look good at all, he is facing huge crisis, very likely DNF very soon

Tóth had to go to the toilets

Italian commentator say that after 3 DSQ proposal you have 5 minuts of stop, but the site say that you are DSQ. Any info?

New rules from this year, first time they used it at the Panamerican games, 3 red cards means pit stop for 5 minutes, another red card is DSQ

no, they're just men of a certain age...and so they have to go to sleep early...

man! the race is going to end at about 3.30 a.m. local time...

or much earlier if all athletes will be already taken into the hospital

IAAF Athletics channel is not going to cover the 50 km walk races: "Thanks for being with us. We'll come back tomorrow". Are the commentators from Svalbard or Jan Mayen that they can't stand 30C night temperature? 

VPN Czech ČT Sport, they will cover the whole races from 22:35, or Slovak TV but they will start the transmission at 22:55
