The “Quentin-ssential” in the headline is a reference to New Zealand 50K specialist Quentin Rew, a veteran of two Olympics (27th at London 2012 in 3:55:03; 12th at Rio 2016 in 3:49:32) and five World Championships (23rd at Daegu 2011 in 4:08:46; 16th at Moscow 2013 in 3:50:27; 10th at Beijing 2015 in 3:48:48; 11th in London 2017 in 3:46:29; and 11th at Doha 2019 in 4:15:54).

She did understandably slow from there on but her finishing time of 47:00 was a 2:22 PB. It is a shame that she is too young for this year's World Junior Champs but she is eligible to contest the World Cup and, like Jesse, is an automatic selection as winner of the trial. • 19 year old Jesse also strode straight to the lead in the Junior Men's race and was on target for a sub-41 at the 6km mark before fading slightly in the warming morning conditions.

  • 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.

I have been following the fortunes of our Australian walkers currently competing in the Taihu 4 Day Rally in China and Dane Bird-Smith is dominating. He finished a close third on Day 1 (11.7km in 46:59), won overall on Day 2 (12km in 47:49) and, although I have not yet seen any results from today's walks, I hear that he won once again on Day 3. That means he leads overall against a big selection of the best walkers in the world. Dane (on the right) collects his third place cheque after Day 1 This has been a stellar year of improvement for Dane and this week continues the upwards trend for this super talented youngster. WHAT'S COMING UP AV Shield continues next Saturday with round 2 of competition (3000m and 1500m walks). I hope you all know where you are because trying to find anything on the AV website is bit beyond me at the moment! Our VRWC summer season commences on Sunday 26 October at Middle Park .

When I was reporting on the International 10,000m walk held at the USATF Junior Racewalk Camp in Chula Vista on Saturday 2 nd January, I completely missed th fact that 16 year old Western Australian walker Declan Tingay had come 6th in a PB time of 43:57.35. His previous best of 44:14 was done at Fawkner Park in December so this was a further 17 secs off that time. Apologies to Declan who is one of a number of talented juniors vieing for World Race Walking Cup and World Junior positions. Walker of the Week For Tuesday 12 January 2016 This week's Walker of the Week is 42 year old Kelly Ruddick. Competing in AV Shield on Saturday in Ballarat and in windy conditions with the temperature around 30oC, she recorded a fantastic 3000m time of 12:58.85 to better the W40 World and Australian Masters records (and of course our own VRWC W40 record).

Address: RUNNERS WORLD, 598 High Street, East Kew, Victoria (Melways 45 G4) Telephone: 03 9817 3503 Hours : Monday to Friday: 9:30am to 5:30pm Saturday: 9:00am to 3:00pm Website: http://www.runnersworld.com.au/ TIM'S WALKER OF THE WEEK Last week's Walker of the Week was Tanya Holliday for her wonderful winning 5000m time of 21:25.25 in Sydney. I have reviewed the performances reported in this week's newsletter and once again it's a hard ask, especially given the tough conditions of Hobart. So I have picked what I regard as the best 3 Hobart performances and put them forward for your review. These are the 3 walkers who dominated the hot conditions, each attacking the race and maintaining a relentless pace throughout, dropping off all who tried to go with them. • 30 year old Claire Tallent who took all before her in winning the Women's 20km championship in an Olympic A qualifying time of 1:32:58. This was the only A qualifier done on the day in the horrendous conditions and it was her third win in a row in this annual championship. This confirmed her Olympic spot and was a dominant display. • 27 year old Jared Tallent for his Men's 20km Championship winning time of 1:23:01. This was his 5 th win in a row in this annual Australian Championship (2008-2012) and he did it easily, kicking away when he wanted to and then coming home in a canter and finishing fresh.

Steven was second in the U20 10km roadwalk in Canberra last June (47:20) and was second once again in the U20 10km roadwalk at the Australian roadwalk championships in Launceston in September (49:40). His latest 10km time indicates that he is now ready to make the tough transition from Junior to Senior ranks in 2014.
