  • 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.

  • David Smith's
    David Smith’s Timeless Clock (1957) Jennifer Field, PhD Executive Director of the David Smith Estate ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ David Smith was born in 1906 in Decatur, Indiana, a small, midwestern town in the United States. At the time of Smith’s upbringing, the region was characterized by innovation and self-sufficiency. Smith later recalled: When I was a kid, everyone from the whole town was an inventor. There must have been fifteen automobiles made in Decatur, Indiana, and they were all put together in parts by all kinds of people. Just two blocks from where I lived there were guys building automobiles in an old barn. Invention was the fertile thing then. Invention was the great thing. … There was never any art involved. … The inventors in Decatur were the heroes.1 David Smith, Timeless Clock, 1957, silver, 20 3/8 x 26 x 6 1/2 in., Anderson Collection at Stanford University, Gift of Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson, and Mary Patricia Anderson Pence, 2014.1.026 ■ ■ ■ The sculpture 3 4 As an adult, Smith would apply his own practical experience 1 in mechanical labor to become the first artist in America to radically redefine notions of sculpture – most famously by welding together found utilitarian objects such as farm tools and machine parts using a combination of advance planning and improvisation, rather than through traditional methods of casting or carving. Smith’s work would help to define the New York School generation of artists and influence the direction of contemporary sculpture. After working a number of jobs in the Midwest such as laying telephone cable and doing assembly line work at a Studebaker 6 automobile factory, Smith moved to New York City in 1926 to study art.2 Like many members of the New York School, he studied at the Art Students League where, until 1931, he took classes in painting with the Czech modernist Jan Matulka.

Over the passing decades the sweeping diversity of his forms developed steadily, like those of a great symphony in space. It is vital, though, to grasp the revolutionary aspects of Smith’s achieve- ment in context and its great import for his successors. Welding – which Smith was the first to develop fully as a sculptural process in the United States – is now such a common technique that it is hard to imagine the process ever having been daringly new. Yet Smith’s decision to establish his workshop in the industrial site of the Brooklyn Navy Pier in New York in 1933 was unprecedented – most sculptors then used a bronze foundry, a marble quarry, or a conventional studio. Smith fundamentally recast the artist’s role and persona. When he chose to move in 1940 to the rural isolation of upstate Bolton Landing in the Adirondacks, Smith left the buzzing New York art world behind to synthesize his own workspace, combining industry and nature.

I am indebted to Peter for this generous appraisal. Tim Erickson, born 23 November 1950, raced at 5ft 8in and 145 lbs. He was a member of Ivanhoe Harriers and was trained by John Boas who was at one time the Australian National Walking Coach. Tim's walking career commenced in 1966 as a junior and was interrupted in 1968 to concentrate on his studies. It was not until April 1973 that he resumed racing as a 22 year old and he showed immediate potential over the long distances. He was 5th in the Australian 50 km title in his first year and by 1974, his times over the shorter distances were starting to come down. In that year he gained a third place in the Victorian 20 km championship and broken 100 mins for the first time. In 1975, he really began to show what he was capable of and won the Australian 50 km in Perth in 4:33:04. He followed this up with a new Australian record for the 50 miles which he covered in 8:14:46. But just when the gates seemed to be opening, he was beaten into second place in the 1976 Victorian 20 km championship by Willi Sawall, a relative newcomer to race walking, who equalled Noel Freeman’s Australian record.
