  • WHY ARE AUSTRALIAN RACE WALKERS AMONGST the BEST in the WORLD? by BOB CRUISE
    WHY ARE AUSTRALIAN RACE WALKERS AMONGST THE BEST IN THE WORLD? by BOB CRUISE While our Australian racewalking efforts pale into insignificance when compared with the Russian experience, we have consistently performed above expectations in the sport of racewalking and are currently looked upon as one of power houses. It is indeed timely that Bob Cruise has forwarded the following to me for review. Why are Australian race walkers amongst the best in the world? Last year, just prior to the Olympics, I was asked by Tim O’Shannesy, distance running development officer with Athletics Australia, why I thought Australian race walkers were so good and whether the walking community had a master plan? Tim’s question encouraged me to reflect on why our walkers are where they are today in the international arena. Our recent and past success is due to many factors and influences. Some of these are listed below. 1. The National Family of Race Walking: Race walking in Australia is a small and relatively coherent group of enthusiasts. It is characterised by a number of clubs that have been in existence for nearly 100 years and numerous others that are prepared, in often difficult circumstances and frequently in an environment that in many cases in neither supportive nor encouraging, to provide for administration, coaching and competition. Race walking has groups of followers in all states of Australia, that, despite the above, continue to pursue and support race walking at a local, national and when appropriate at international level. When comparing race walking to any other track and field discipline in Australia it is very apparent that the followers and participants of race walking are members of a dedicated and committed family.

For Jared, it was another fantastic top-eight finish and it was in the lesser of his two Olympic events. With the Olympic 50km event this week, Jared upped the ante even further, taking his second successive Olympic 50km silver medal and recording a 2+ minute PB time of 3:36:53, also breaking the Olympic record into the bargain. What a performance! Walker of the Week! 50KM MEN'S RACEWALK, OLYMPIC GAMES, THE MALL, LONDON, SATURDAY 11 AUGUST 2012 The men's Olympic 50km walk started at 9AM at the Mall in London and I was one of the many spectators who lined the 2km loop to cheer on the contestants. My report on the Men's 50km Race Walk is taken from that of Dave Martin for the IAAF (see http://www.iaaf.org/Mini/OLY12/News/NewsDetail.aspx?id=67421) Sergey Kirdyapkin, the man to be beaten having won the IAAF World Race Walking Cup in Saransk in May, shattered the existing record of 3:37:09 with a decisive victory.

Her sister Jenny represented Australia at the 1972 Olympics in the 1500m run and set an Australian record time of 4:08.6, a wonderful time that stood until 1996. On top of that, her father Theo was a record breaking Veteran runner. With such a pedigree, it was not surprising that Sue, tall and athletic in build, should also enter the athletic arena. She confirmed her early potential in November 1976 when she broke the Victorian Open 3,000m walk record in a sensational 13.54.4, only 4.8 seconds outside Anne Pembroke's Australian record. Within two months, on January 8 1977, she clocked 6:35.1 to break the World 1500m walk record. In February 1977, Sue again lowered the Australian and World records to 6:29.4, beating Kerrie Neville and Sally Pierson.

She stayed with Alan through her underage career but did not start training seriously until the Under 14 age group. Other coaching influences in later years were Ken Walters and Harry Summers. During the 1980’s, she regularly collected minor placings in Federation and All Schools championships. But titles were hard fought as this was a very strong era when many talented junior walkers were coming through. She had collected 11 medals at Australian underage, School and Federation level by 1988. After winning silver at the Australian Under 16 1500m title (6:50), she won the Under 17 Schools 6 km title (30:47) and the Federation under 17 5 km. Her 1988 Australian Under 18 8 km title victory (40:49) was the best on record. In 1989, she won the Australian Junior 10 km road title in 53:24 yet for the next couple of years, she was unable to win further Junior title medals even though her times were improving. In her last Junior title, she finished 4th in 24:20 in the Australian 5000m track title. In 1990, she was part of the Australian team that went to Europe to compete in the Eight Nations Meeting.
