2018 Women’s 50K Walk World Rankings

LONDON ’17 SAW the debut of the women’s 50 at a very late date, and there were so few competitors that we didn’t feel it quite right to give full World Ranking status to such a poorly-thought-out introduction. But with a year’s notice, the event crept another step closer to real parity. As we did when the women’s pole vault, triple jump and hammer came on the scene, we’ve restricted the Rankings to a Top 5 instead of 10…

THE WORLD TEAM CHAMPS race was key to the ordering, with the first three from that competition taking the top 3 spots, headed by Rui Liang with her World Record time… Reigning world champ Inês Henriques DNFed at that race, but bounced back with a European gold to take the No. 4 spot before a return to the Taicang order… U.S. walkers were not a factor.
