FRONT COVER: Johanna Jackson in action at the World Cup in Chihuahua, . PHOTO: by Jeff Salvage Editorial When travelling overseas, you appreciate being a race walker. Whilst having to walk many miles through airport terminals and connecting corridoors along flat straight surfaces seems to be a tedious burden for most people, I just love whizzing along past everyone and enjoy the journey. Never mind the slow travel belt everyone stands on to save themselves having to shuffling along a few hundred meters, it's a chance for another minute of high speed walking for me. No sitting around for an hour waiting for an announcement when you could be stretching your legs and enjoying another walk.

Immigration control once asked me why I had come to the USA. When I told them I was there to compete in a race walk the officer replied; "Are you crapping me?" I was happy to give them a little demonstration, and race walked my way down the corridoor into the country.

Meeting and chatting with race walkers from all over the world, you notice huge cultural differences, but enthusiasm for our sport is the same no matter who you ask. Competitive rivalries aside, we have a sport that really fosters a worldwide community spirit that we should be proud of. This edition of RWR re-introduces the international spirit into the magazine in a way I hope you’ll enjoy. Magazine info Race Walking Record (founded 1941) is the international magazine for the sport of walking and walking events, published each and every month.
