AFTER A YEAR on the sidelines (it’s not an Olympic event) the longer of the two standard walks made its return to the Rankings…
IT WAS OBVIOUS from the get-go that the level of performance would be relatively high. In March, Evan Dunfee lowered the World Record by 7 seconds with his 2:21:40 in Dudince…
BUT 2 MONTHS LATER it looked as if ’22 winner Massimo Stano might be on his way to another leadership, crushing the Canadian’s mark with his 2:20:43 at the Euro Teams. A link between the two? How about Christopher? Germany’s Christopher Linke, that is, 2nd in both races…
A LOOKED-FOR DUEL between the two WR setters failed to eventuate in Tokyo, however, as hamstring problems kept the Italian out of the race. That left the door open for a comfortable win by Dunfee.
