Walking in our VRWC ‘Guess Your Time’ races, he predicted he would walk 18:50 for the 4km roadwalk and he was spot on, walking a time of 18:49. Mark has come back to the club and is racing anlongside son Lachlan and daughter Sophie after a break of nearly 20 years. He had his comeback race with us on 29th April, recording 25:13 for 5km, and he has been improving week by week since then. But more recent members may not know that Mark was one of our top junior walkers in the 1990s. I rummaged through my records and found a number of National and State medals that he won in Open and Underage competition between 1992 and 1998, when he retired. 1992 Australian U16 1500m 1 6.26.04 1992 Victorian U18 8km 3 37.11 1994 Australian U18 3000m 2 12:42.76 1994 Australian U18 8km 1 38:10 1995 Victorian Open 15km 2 1.08.44 1996 Australian U20 20km 2 1:29:51 1996 Victorian Open 15km 1 1.09.39 1997 Victorian Open15km 2 1.06.44 1998 Victorian Open 5000m 2 ?

  • 1968 and 1972 Olympic 50Km Races
    CHRISTOPH HÖHNE, BERND KANNENBERG AND THE STORY OF TWO OLYMPIC 50KM CHAMPS The 1968 Olympics, Mexico City The 1968 Olympic Games arguably remain the most controversial of all time. Commercialism first became an issue in the form of sponsorship and the wearing of branded running shoes (Nike and Adidas). The Black Power movement was beginning to find a voice. The Warsaw Bloc countries had invaded Czechoslovakia. The Mexican government had brutally put down riots over the poor living conditions of the impoverished population. And finally the altitude of Mexico City (7,347 feet above sea level) was the main topic of discussion for months before the Games. Many sports commentators were predicting deaths in the endurance events and much attention was focussed on the marathon and long walks. But if there were concerns about the altitude, it did not deter the athletes and good fields of 33 and 36 walkers contested the two racewalks. Having “blown up” in 1964, East German Christoph Höhne was determined to rectify his Tokyo mistake. He had won the 1965 and 1967 Lugano Cup 50km events, was the holder of the official world track record (4:10:51.8, Potsdam, 16/05/1965) and held the fastest ever official road time of 4:03:14. He looked unbeatable on paper and he was to be unbeatable on the road. The weather was hot - a maximum temperature of 85oF - and the bitumen road surface reflected heat like an oven top. Höhne, Paul Nihill and Gennadiy Agapov led out from the gun, with Nihill holding a two second advantage at 20km.

  • RAÚL GONZÁLEZ – MEXICAN WALKER EXTRAORDINARY One
    RAÚL GONZÁLEZ – MEXICAN WALKER EXTRAORDINARY One of the most significant events in the history of racewalking quietly took place in 1966 when Mexico hired a group of foreign coaches to help their athletes prepare for the 1968 Olympic Games. Amongst the new arrivals was Polish coach Jerzy Hausleber who went on to revolutionize walking and single handedly lead Mexico to the top of world walking. An unknown 29 year old army sergeant by the name of Jose Pedraza claimed the nation's first international title when he won the 10,000m walk at the 1966 Central American and Caribbean Games in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He was soon to become world famous when in the Mexico Olympics he went within a whisker of taking gold in the 20km walk. After 85 minutes of hard walking in the thin high altitude air of Mexico City, Volodymyr Golubnichiy had entered the stadium in first place, followed closely by teammate Nikolai Smaga. Then the 60,000-plus spectators went wild as Pedraza appeared. Two hundred metres from the finish, Pedraza passed Smaga and set his sights on Golubnichiy. Pedraza's style seemed far from legal and he received three cautions. But it would have taken a suicidal judge to disqualify him while the stadium echoed with chants of "May-hee-co" and "Pay-drah-zah." An international incident was avoided when Golubnichiy drew away slightly in the homestretch to win by a mere three yards. With racewalking now a high profile event in Mexico, Hausleber was soon in charge of a large squad of would-be champions, led by two walkers who would go on to become legends in their own right - Daniel Bautista and Raúl González who was one of my heroes as a young walker.

Competing in the Spanish Roadwalk Championships in Seville on Sunday, he finished 6th in the men’s 50km road walk with 4:04:36, 10 minutes under the M50 World Record of 4: 14.37, set by Germany’s Gerhard Weidner in 1983. It is not Garcia’s first world masters record nor is it likely to be his last. He currently holds the M45 50km record with a time of 3:46:43, set in the 2018 IAAF Racewalking World Cup in Beijing. Check out the meet report at https://www.rfea.es/web/noticias/desarrollo.asp?codigo=13172#.YcmqoWgzbIU. Garcia in action on Sunday in Seville (photo https://www.rfea.es/) I suspect more has been written about Garcia’s racewalking exploits than any other walker, male of female, and he epitomises the purity of the 50km discipline. Not only has he competed at seven Olympic Games, the most Olympic appearances ever by a male T&F athlete, but he has already been selected to represent Spain in the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

  • 1976 Olympic 20 Km
    1976 OLYMPIC 20KM WALK Vic Miller, one of my racewalking stamps contacts, recently sent me the following wonderful photo from the 1976 Olympic 20km walk, highlighting the main contenders during the early stage of the race The three (East) Germans and the trio of Mexicans who battled for the medals at the 1976 Summer Olympics are visible here: Domingo Colin (#7), Daniel Bautista (#13), Karl-Heinz Stadtmuller (towering behind Bautista), Peter Frenkel (#23), Hans- Georg Reimann (mostly obscured by Frenkel) and Raul Gonzalez (faded in the background - and the race) (photo http://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/uploads/2018/07/23/d98c1545b71532370541_standard_desktop_medium_retina.jpeg) So time for a bit of a story on this event. In a black segment of Olympic history, the 50km racewalk was dropped after the 1972 Olympics, one of a number of events targeted in a move to reduce the size of what was seen as a bloated monster. Thus West German walker Bernd Kanneberg was deprived of the chance of back to back Olympic 50km golds. There is little doubt that he would have won, having set new world records for 1 Hour, 2 Hours, 20,000m, 30,000m and 50,000m track walks in the final years leading up to the 1976 Games. But the scenario was even worse than that, with the 20km also rumoured to be on the chopping block, and with the prospect of no walks at all in the 1980 Games. The lack of a 50km event had the effect of concentrating all the world’s walking talent into one race. Mexican Daniel Bautista went in as the firm favourite, but the minor places were wide open, with the other Mexicans, the East Germans, the Russians and, of course, Kannenberg himself, all in contention.
