Competing in the Little Athletics Victoria U15 1500m walk championship at the Casey Fields athletics track in Berwick (Melbourne) last weekend, she won in a huge time of 6:29.19, setting a new championship record and doing a 26 sec PB! Jemma showed her potential with a win in the 2015 LBG Carnival U14 2km walk last June (9:23) but it is this summer that she has really kicked down. She won the Victorian U16 3000m championship in 14:35 in February and then improved to 14:13 in taking third in the Australian U16 3000m in Perth in March (she also took bronze in the U18 5000m walk with 15:29 at these same Australian Championships). Cousins of international walkers Jared and Rachel Tallent, Jemma and her younger sister Alanna are the latest in a long line of talented walkers to come from the Victorian country city of Ballarat.

    IAAF DIAMOND LEAGUE London (GBR) 21st - 22nd July 2018 Flash Quotes TIMING, RESULTS SERVICE & DISTANCE MEASUREMENT BY Dwayne COWAN (GBR) 400m Men National - 1st (45.65 SB) Hopefully there is an individual spot left. I am happy with the race today. Martyn and I are quite similar at the moment. I've been injured all season, so hopefully I can finish the year off strongly. I love this stadium - I always run fast here. 21/07/2018 12:43 Martyn ROONEY (GBR) 400m Men National - 2nd (46.11) I have a bye as the defending champion so hopefully I'll be selected for Europeans. I thought the run was disappointing. I thought coming here I'd run a 45 second low time but it's just not happening. We'll wait and see what the championships bring, it's just about hard training between now and then. 21/07/2018 12:44 Tom BOSWORTH (GBR) 3000m Race Walk Men - 1st (10:43.9) PB, WR, WL It was a shock to do that. I've just come back from altitude training but I still wanted to see what I could do and this is all heading in the right direction for the Europeans. Coming to the London Stadium changes everything for me. Usually I'm on the road and race walking isn't included in the Diamond League very often. I thought there was going to be trouble if I got beaten but I knew the crowd would push me home in that world class field. He was fourth in London last year and I knew it was going to take a PB to win.

    Issue No: 371 August/September 2016 Editor: Dave Ainsworth AFTER 52 YEARS Not since Britain's greatest ever race walker, Ken Matthews MBE, struck gold at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics 20K has a British athlete won a World title. In July Enfield's Callum Wilkinson won the World Under-20 Championship 10,000 Metres in Poland clocking an excellent 40.41.62. He's rightly been showered with heaps of deserved praise and bombarded by congratulatory messages - and had a surprise celebration in his honour in Moulton Village Hall. Among admirers was Paula Radcliffe MBE, who tweeted "What a morning for the World Junior Champion, leading from 4K and smashing the last 2K". A STAR QUARTET We congratulate 4 race walking notables who'll be at the Rio Olympics. Tom Bosworth makes his Olympic debut at 20K, while Dominic King makes a 2nd Olympic 50K appearance. Many readers have seen them develop talents from their early days in our sport, and will be delighted they're on world's main sporting stage. Ilford AC life member, Neringa Aidietyte, is to make her second Olympic 20K appearance for Lithuania. Also in Rio is Peter Marlow, a former Olympic 20K walker himself (1972 Munich). Peter's again selected for the Judges' panel, proof of his high standing in International Athletics. In addition to those 4 mentioned, let's also note Chris Maddocks (5 times' Olympian) is again selected for commentary box duties. We wish them the best, and also all who'll be in Rio as supporters. ANNUAL 8-COUNTIES' REPRESENTATIVE MATCH We thank those who travelled to Basingstoke as Essex competitors in the annual 8-Counties' Representative Match (Essex/Hampshire/Hertfordshire/Kent/Middlesex/Oxfordshire/Surrey/Sussex).

It’s not yet been released to the general public but a draft timetable for the 2021 World Athletics Championships, to be held in Eugene, Oregon, on 6-15 August 2021 shows that the 50km is to be replaced by a 35km walk. Here is the program cut and paste which shows the women’s 20km on Day 3, the men’s 20km on Day 4, the women’s 35km on Day 7 and the men’s 35km on Day 8. No consultation has been held with the wider walking community and, in my opinion, no proper analysis of the implications of this change have been done. My comments are as follows • This move is contrary to the press release issued by the IAAF at the Council meeting at Doha. That press release read Specifically it promised no changes until 2022 (see https://www.worldathletics.org/news/press-release/council-march- 2019-doha-race-walk-diamond-lea). As an aside, it also promised testing and validation of the electronic chip insole technology during competition in 2020.
