¶ '22 WC m35W—Massimo Stano (Italy) 2:23:14 (WL)

[aaronk]

Will T&FN start putting out a deep list of 35K times, world & US??
When doing my blog on the 35's, I just assumed this was the A-T world list, as well as the list of finishers1
And sooooo many National Records!!

[AS]

Italy's first WC gold in any event since 2003!

[GHM]

Congratulations to Massimo Stano.
Who was the genius came up with 35k walk? Most probably same minds who changed winter Olympics 50k CC to 28k but at least the reason was bitter cold.

I like 10k and 30k walks or 20 & 50km walks.

How about compromise? 20k and 40k in 2023 championship?

Great race! Olympic 20km champ Massimo Stano just edging Masatora Kawano to the Gold.

A third World bronze medal for Karlstrom, though he did win the World Team Championships 35km this year.

Area Records, National Records & PBs all over the place.

Stano's winning time of 2:23:14 should be considered the World Best given who set the supposed best time and where.

[LuckySpikes]

Okay, going out for a walk.

At 4:05 per kilometre pace? 😁

[LuckySpikes]

4km to go and we're down to four battling for 3 medals - Karlstrom (SWE), Stano (ITA), Pintado (ECU) & Kawano (JPN).

On course for a winning time of 2:23-low.

[LuckySpikes]

At 16km ... They're now catching Matsunaga by around 5s per km, mainly due to Matsunaga's pace dropping a bit over the last 3km. At that rate they would catch him around the 26km mark.

Ooh, 11s made up on the 17th kilometre! Now just a 37s lead.

Peacock not showing the race. World Athletics "live" coverage seems less than advertised.

I suspect some kind of glitch. A large photo of a race walker is featured on the Peacock sports home page and the time block says coverage started an hour ago.

But clicking on the block only yields the "Coverage will begin shortly."

Edit: just kicked in, Hutchings mid-sentence.

Fixed the issue.

[LopenUupunut]

Early move from Matsunaga, 37 seconds ahead at 3km.

Matsunaga 20:14 through 5km; which is essentially WR pace. (There is no official world record for the 35 yet; but the unofficial world best is Vladimir Kanaykin's 2:21:31, and for such an obscure event that's a really strong mark.)

[MJR]

Recovery from the 20 will determine how well Christie does. Top 25 would be a good result.
