  • Marche De Mexico
    VIC MILLER REMINISCENCES ON THE MEXICAN REVOLUTIONARIES Readers of this newsletter will know Vic Miller's name in the context of racewalking stamps. Vic is one of the experts on whom I call when I am reviewing walking related philatelic matters. But Vic is a sports enthusiast in his own right, and has put together his own reminiscences on the Mexican racewalking revolution. For my friend Down Under, Tim Erickson, who once took a walk and never stopped... Marche de Mexico In 1958 an Englishman named John Velzian was hired as a physical education officer for Kenya, overseeing athletics in the emerging African country's school system. With an emphasis on track, Velzian began to tap a reservoir of natural runners. Before the end of the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in August of 1966, Kenya, the young independent country, had come of age in track. Given the fanaticism for futbol and a seemingly inexhaustive supply of inexhaustive participants, it was only a matter of time that a similar breakthrough in track would occur in the land of the Aztlan. Just a little over two months prior to the opening of the aforementioned '66 British Empire and Commonweath Games, seven foreigners had been inserted into Mexico with a vision of giving the host nation of the next Summer Olympics some athletes to cheer about. One of these coaches, Jerzy Hausleber, assembled a half dozen hopefuls. Of Hausleber's six students, his proverbial prize pupil was soon identified. Jose Pedraza Zuniga, a soldier in the enlisted ranks of the Mexican army who was pushing thirty years old, was as unlikely a person to pin a medal hope on as was his discipline: race walking! Jose Pedraza, though, quickly established himself as someone worthy of Jerzy Hausleber's focus.

  • VENIAMIN SOLDATENKO – SOVIET MASTER WALKER Veniamin Vasilievich Soldatenko Was Born on 4Th January 1939 in the Village of Shku
    VENIAMIN SOLDATENKO – SOVIET MASTER WALKER Veniamin Vasilievich Soldatenko was born on 4th January 1939 in the village of Shkurovka in the steppes of Northern Kazakhstan. There was no school in Shkurovka at that time and he studied in the neighbouring village four kilometres away from his home. In any weather, he walked to school and back home six days a week. One wonders if this may have somehow influenced his rather unique method of training for racewalking where he regularly did 3 days of training in succession followed by a day of rest. Before taking up walking, Soldatenko had tried many sports including boxing, short distance running, wrestling, weightlifting, gymnastics and acrobatics. With a light yet strongly built frame (175cm and 63 kg), he had a build that could be adapted to many sports. He opted for walking in 1962 while studying at the Physical Education College in Moscow after being targetted by Anatoly Fruktov, one of the top coaches of the time. Within two years, he had won his first title – the USSR 20 km championship. Right after that, his coach suggested that he master the 50 km event. It proved the correct move and, in 1969, he took the Russian record with 4:12:20.4. That same year, in his first international appearance over the distance, on the famous Marathon Highway in Greece, he was third in the European Championship with 4:23:04. The 1970 Lugano Cup 50 km – Soldatenko (USSR), Lyungin (USSR), Selzer (GDR) and Bartsch (USSR) In 1970, he enrolled in the University of Alma Ata (which was at that time the capital of Kazakhstan) as an undergraduate in sports studies and his career really took off.
