FRONT COVER: Johanna Jackson becomes the first British woman to win Gold at a major international championship. 1) Crossing the line to take the title, 2) With her medal, 3) At the presentation ceremony in the stadium. Editorial The optimism that British race walkers have had for the past year has finally been justified. The medal winning performance by Johanna at the has brought widespread attention and public respect back to our great sport.

It is eight years since we last won a major medal, with gaining CG Silver back in 2002 - but Steven Barry from Wales last won CG Gold for the home countries back in 1982, making this a long wait. We now have the momentum to keep developing our top athletes and continue performing well internationally, with the dedication of people who refused to write off our sport, and a successful development structure in place that is quickly growing to be the envy of other countries.

It is easy to be pessimistic as we still have a long way to go, but our team of young talented individuals is growing, and each one has made major personal leaps this year. We look forward to seeing what they can achieve next! ------Thank you to all RWR readers, you have been very patient with me and this magazine. I had to take a major break to sort out personal issues but am now back and ready to progress this magazine further forwards. Publication has been out of synch with actual dates for over a year and I have been wondering how to fix the problem that the cover month doesn’t relate to the contents. One option is to simply change to the current date, which would take the pressure off trying to catch up all the time. Another option which could never be considered is to produce the magazine every two months - but RWR will never be anything less than a monthly magazine. After asking around for opinions, I will be attempting to bring out two magazines each month for a few months until the dates finally catch up. Your opinions on this are welcome. The magazines printing contract has also overrun by 21,000 pages in the past few months - a problem caused by success and increasing popularity! Magazine info Race Walking Record (founded 1941) is the international magazine for the sport of walking and walking events, published each and every month.
