Good on you Geogia!  Great to see the race walkers showing their funny side and some excellent publicity as well.

I'm sure Deakesy would be proud too!
 
Keep it up.

If anyone listened to VEGA 915 last week you would have heard Dicko
bagging Nathan for pulling out of China and how racewalking isnt a
sport. A young girl from Croyden by the name of Georgia phoned in and
challenged Dicko to a race over 400m, with a bit of a wager on it.
Georgia kicked butt by over 100m, click on the link below to veiw the
video of the event.

Spaniard Fernandez sets world record in 10km walk


www.chinaview.cn 2008-07-28 08:54:23   Print

    MADRID, July 27 (Xinhua) -- Spanish walker Paquillo Fernandez gave himself the perfect send-off for the Olympic Games on Sunday when he smashed the world 10km race walk record.

    Racing in the Spanish Championships, held on the island of Tenerife, Fernandez, the silver medal winner in Athens four years ago, took five seconds off the previous record, which had been held by the Italian Ivano Brugnetti, as he clocked a time of 37:53:09 for the event.

    Interestingly, Brugnetti is the reigning Olympic champion, having beaten Fernandez in the 20km walk in the 2004 Athens Games.

    After the race Fernandez confessed he was amazed at the achievement, above all because the race took place at 17.00 hrs, almost the hottest hour of the day.

    "I am really surprised because all of the elements were against me setting a good time: the heat and the time of the race," he told the official website of the Spanish Athletics Federation.

    "Nevertheless my will to win was vital and I gave it everything. I went as fast as possible in the last 400 meters, even though I never knew I was in with a chance of setting a world record," he said, looking ahead to the Olympic challenge.

    "After this race, it is obvious that I am in form and going to aim for a medal in Beijing, although I will find some very difficult rivals there. I am going to travel to Matsue (Japan) on August 3 to finish my preparation and from there, I will go to Beijing," said Fernandez, who must be considered favorite for a gold medal at the Games.

The Top Moment/s in Australian Athletics

 

'A sporting moment happens once. A split second in time, captured forever. Such moments live in the minds of the people: who competed, who were there, and who pass their stories from generation to generation.

They shape our collective view of ourselves and our country. They become a blueprint for what we value, an inspiration for all.'

 

In November 2007  the  Athletics International (AI) Committee agreed  to select the top 10 moments in Australian Athletics. The initial plan was that from this list AI members – and persons eligible for membership - would vote to determine the ‘Top Moment in Australian Athletics’

 

A Sub Committee made up of Trevor Vincent (AI Committee – S/C chair), Len Johnson  (The Age  sports journalist), and Paul Jenes (Athletics Australia Statistician) was appointed to develop the top 10 moments.

 

The AI Committee agreed that the moments must be directly related to an athletics event (so no ‘lighting the flame’ type moments)

 

Trevor, Len, and Paul met a number of times and had regular phone/email exchanges. They sought input widely to establish a ‘long list’, with about 60 moments ultimately identified.

 

Input was provided by a range of ‘knowledgeable’ persons on their personal top 10, and at their final meeting the Sub Committee agreed on their top 10, after initially cutting the list down to around 15.

 

‘The Age’ was quick to show interest in our initiative – and as a result this (Victorian) newspaper will now run our top 10 in the sport pages of next Sunday’s edition (Sunday 27th July). Readers will be asked to vote for their top moment – with the winning moment decided and announced pre the athletics program of the Beijing Olympic  Games. The voting will be done electronically – via ‘The Age’ website ( www.theage.com.au )– which we expect  will carry a full description of each moment as well as perhaps footage where available.

 

This note is both to alert you  to the appearance of our Top Ten Moments in the ‘Sunday Age’ and  to encourage you to cast your vote.

 

We are also conducting an ‘in house’ vote amongst  AI members – to see if we agree with the ‘public’, given our closeness to the sport and perhaps better appreciation/different  perspective of the moments, especially those from the fairly distant past.

 

Would you please send your vote to John Murray on email: athinter@... by Friday 15th August. If you wish to send your vote by mail please address it to John at: 18 Lee Ann St, Blackburn South 3130

 

Then watch for the results of both votes in the next AI Newsletter.

 

A listing and description of each of the Top Ten Moments is attached


Top 10 Moments

BETTY CUTHBERT – 100m (+) – MELBOURNE 1956

Australia had not hosted an Olympic Games before Melbourne. Australian had not had a home gold medallist _ until Betty Cuthbert streamed down the brick-red cinder track on the Melbourne Cricket Ground to win the 100 metres. Unknown a few months earlier, the Sydney teen went on to win the 200 and anchor the 4x100 metres relay to take three gold medals and become the face of the 1956 Games.

CATHY FREEMAN – 400m – SYDNEY 2000

The hopes of a nation, and a second, aboriginal, nation within that nation, rested on Cathy Freeman’s shoulders in the 400 metres final in Sydney. The biggest crowd ever to watch an Olympic event -112,000+ spectators – willed her on. Cathy delivered, winning with something to spare in 49.11 seconds. For a wonderful moment, the entire Australian nation rejoiced as one.

CLARKE FALL – OLYMPIC PARK, MELBOURNE, 1956

A sub-4 minute mile was expected every time John Landy ran in 1956, and a world record a distinct possibility. But the spectators crammed into Olympic Park for the mile at the national championships got something they did not expect. John Landy loitered mid-field; there was a fall in front of him and, as he hurdled the fallen Ron Clarke, John’s spikes raked his shoulder and arm. Concerned, he went back to see if Ron was alright, then chased and caught the field to win going away. It was later acclaimed the greatest Australian sporting moment of the 20th century.

HERB ELLIOTT – 1500m – ROME 1960

For a little over 800 metres, the Rome Olympic 1500 metres was a race. For the rest, it was a demonstration of the ruthless talent of Australia’s running machine, Herb Elliott. Unleashing a paralysing burst of speed along the back straight, Herb sped through the third lap in 56 seconds and continued at the same speed all the way home. Gold medal; world record; biggest winning margin in Olympic history; Herb Elliott did it all.





JOHN LANDY/ROGER BANNISTER CLASH – 1 MILE – VANCOUVER 1954

The Vancouver stadium was packed. Forty million people were glued to their television sets across North America. The world’s third-best miler, Wes Santee, provided commentary as the two best, Roger Bannister of England and John Landy of Australia, did battle in the Empire Games mile. Landy made the pace, made the race, but he did not win it; Bannister got by him off the final bend to win by five yards. Thanks to John Landy, the only two men ever to have broken four minutes did so again in a memorable championship race.

MARJORIE JACKSON – 100m (+) – HELSINKI 1952

Australia had had Olympic gold medallists before, but never a dominant Olympic champion until Marjorie Jackson. Marjorie won two gold medals in Helsinki, and a third went begging when the baton went down in the final exchange between teammate Winsome Cripps and herself in the relay. But it was the 100 metres which set the tone: Marjorie won by almost a full four-tenths of a second, equalling the world record and becoming Australia’s first-ever female Olympic track and field gold medallist.

PETER NORMAN – DAIS – MEXICO CITY 1968

Peter Norman’s effort in running 20.06 for second in the 200 metres Olympic final was stunning enough, but it is his support of the human rights’ protest by American gold and bronze medallists – Tommie Smith and John Carlos – on the victory dais that is etched in people’s memory. The two Americans made a silent and compelling Black Power protest on behalf of black Americans. Norman wore a civil rights badge and endorsed their gesture. The image is one of the most powerful of the 20th century.

RALPH DOUBELL – 800m – MEXICO CITY 1968

Many people expected Ralph Doubell would run well in Mexico City. But a gold medal? And an equal world record? Few expected that. The 800 was the crossover distance as far as high altitude went: the sprints would definitely be assisted, the distance events restricted, but the impact on the 800 was a guess. Doubell’s timing was right. He had recovered from an achilles injury and he had Franz Stampfl instilling confidence. He rehearsed his win in the semi-finals, running down Kenya’s Wilson Kiprugut, and he did precisely the same in the final. His national record still stands.





ROB DE CASTELLA – MARATHON – BRISBANE 1982

It was Australia’s most unforgettable breakfast. Early one October morning, the Commonwealth Games marathon field went to the start next to the Brisbane River. ‘Deek’, as he was widely known, was overwhelming favourite, but that belief, not to mention his confidence, was tested as Tanzanian duo Juma Ikangaa and Gidamis Shahanga raced off into a big lead. De Castella set out after them from 25k on and, after a brief, but intense, duel with Ikangaa nearing 40k, ran home to a memorable victory.

RON CLARKE – WORLD RECORD – 10,000m 1965

The Oslo Bislett Games is one of the world’s most prestigious meetings. Ron Clarke’s world record for 10,000 metres, set in 1965, was voted the best performance in Bislett Games history 25 years later. It was that good. Clarke and his friend, Jim Hogan, had to hunt round for a third competitor to make the race record-eligible. Even had 20 more run, however, none would have stuck with Ron Clarke that night. He wiped almost 40 seconds off his own world record for 10,000. In a year in which he redefined the possible in track distance running, Oslo was the stand-out performance.

Good Morning to all ,

 

The news about Nathan’s withdrawal from the Olympics with hamstring trouble has now rebounded around Australia and I know that I speak on behalf of all walkers for the disappointment that he must be feeling .  Nathan is a fantastic ambassador for racewalking and has lifted the profile of racewalking all over the country  . We can only trust that he recovers fully and gets back to the record breaking form that has been his trademark over the last few years . We have an amazingly strong racewalking team to represent Australia in the Olympics this year and Nathan will be sorely missed.  It’s now up to the rest of the team to raise the flag for Australia and we wish them well.

 

Regards to all

Dave Smith
President

According to SEN reports the tendon's come off the bone at the hamstring meaning an operation and a 6-9 month recuperation period.

Just heard a report on radio SEN that sadly Nathan has been ruled out of the Olympics with that on-going hamstring complaint. Pity given the extraordinary hard work and effort he has put into it. Hopefully there's another chance in 4 years.

It would be helpful if someone from NSW walkers club could send in
their racewalking challenge result to Mark Donahoo at
mdonahoo@...
as the results cannot be compiled until NSW results are received.

Below are the interim results of the racewalking challenge. The
spaces where only the club name appears means the club did not have a
competitor in the event. Unfortunately NSW RWC have not submitted any
results.

>
> RACEWALKING AUSTRALIA CARNIVAL, SUNDAY 24 AUGUST 2008
>
> UPDATE – FRIDAY 4 JULY 2008
>
> Hello everyone,
>
> Four weeks ago (Saturday 7 June) at the Racewalking Australia AGM in
> Canberra, I outlined to all club delegates details of how the Second
> Racewalking Australia Carnival would be held in conjunction with the
> Australian Roadwalking Championships in Melbourne on Sunday 24 August 2008.
>
> I indicated at that meeting that, amongst other things, entries would be
> via an online panel on the Athletics Australia website and that I
> expected this panel to come on line within the following week. This
> announcement was made as a result of discussions with AA and
> confirmation from them on a number of key organizational points.
>
> After regularly checking the AA website over the following weeks and
> seeing no indication of any such panel, I eventually contacted the AA
> Competition Department on Wednesday 25 June for clarification. I was
> told that AA had decided to push the entry task out to its State based
> Member Associations and had done so via a bulletin the previous week, on
> Thursday 19 June. This was certainly news to me and, on reading their
> bulletin, I identified a number of inconsistencies and errors. Not a
> good start!
>
> In the 2 weeks since June 19th, only two of the MAs have actually put
> anything out in the way of entry procedures and both are incorrect in a
> number of key details and differ from our original agreement with AA and
> from the information sent out by AA to them. To quickly summarize the
> main ways in which these two MA website online entry panels differ to
> what RWA had agreed with AA
>
> ANSW:
>
> ANSW has chosen to fund a Team Manager by charging a $15 levy per
> athlete. Now I don't blame ANSW for this as it is a normal procedure for
> them. But the circumstances are very different this year and all NSW
> walkers will be walking not only as NSW representatives but as RWA
> members, especially from a Teams perspective.
> ANSW has opted to close its entries on Monday 28th August, some 4 days
> before the date we agreed with AA.
> The notes incorrectly advise that women can enter both the Open 20 km
> and the Open 10 km events
> The notes advise that all NSW walkers are to wear NSW club uniform
> rather than their RWA club uniform.
> The form does not ask walkers to confirm a RWA club for our teams
> competition calculations and it assumes that all entrants will be
> current members of clubs under the Athletics NSW banner.
>
> QA:
>
> The QA entry form seems purely a nomination form. There is nowhere a
> walker can nominate to pay money nor is there any mention of how much is
> to be paid or to whom.
> The form does not include U12 or Masters - it only includes the AA
> individual championships.
> It does not ask walkers to confirm a RWA club for our teams competition
> calculations.
> The timetable is the old draft timetable dated April 2008.
> Closure date is 21 July, even earlier than NSW – in fact, less than 3
> weeks time.
>
> I have spent considerable time and energy over the last week trying to
> get the process back on track and I can say it has not been an easy
> process. I got very close to pulling the plug on the whole process and
> it was only the fact that some of our RWA members have already made
> travel arrangements that has kept me in the process.
>
> So the SECOND FEDERATION CARNIVAL WILL PROCEED ON SUNDAY 24 AUGUST but
> there is a lot of work to do before then to fix up the current anomalies
> and get a system working that will allow walkers to confidently enter
> the event of their choice as per the original agreement with AA.
>
> My recommendations at the moment are
>
> a) Continue to plan for these championships. They will definitely go
> ahead as both an AA and RWA joint event.
>
> b) Contact your MA (eg Athletics Victoria) on Monday if an entry form is
> not clearly online. By Monday, it will be 19 days since AA sent out
> their bulletin. That is more than enough time for any organization to
> sort out its entry criteria.
>
> c) NSW based walkers should not yet enter via the Athletics NSW online
> panel. We are standing firm on the agreement with Athletics Australia
> that entry fees should be $20 for the first event with a ceiling of $30
> for walkers who enter a second event. We have requested AA to hold talks
> with ANSW to try to reach a compromise position that honours the
> original agreement with us.
>
> I have fed my concerns back to Athletics Australia and David Gynther,
> the AA Competition Manager, has committed to contacting the MAs and
> working with them to fix issues as the remaining State based entry
> panels come online.
>
> This situation highlights to me the need for a single point of entry for
> what is a complex carnival involving a number of key players. I believe
> that the original agreement for an AA entry panel was the correct way to
> go and, if this shared carnival concept continues into 2009, I will
> again push for that approach. There is a precedent for this – it is the
> way that the Australian 20 km and 50 km championships are handled each year.
>
> This weekend I shall endeavour to upload full details about the conduct
> of the carnival to the VRWC website so that everyone can familiarise
> themselves with how we envisage the carnival will run. This will cover
> such things as
>
> what uniforms are allowed or expected
> how the teams events will work
> how the State based entry system is supposed to look.
>
> In the meanwhile, please feel free to contact me via email if you have
> particular concerns or questions.

A reminder to all clubs that the masters event for the challenge is
based on the age grading for the athlete, so I need to age of the
masters athletes to work out the grading. Please send results to
mdonahoo@...


Thanks

Three Olympic reps all up. Kevin Eastler, 30, who has an A Quali from
last year and now getting over injuries, Joanne Dow ,44, and Phillip
Dunn, 35, earlier in the  year in the 50km, the latter 2 having B
qualis. While there were a few PB's the sport's certainly struggling
badly there at the minute at both senior and junior level.

The effects of the weather were visible in the final 10 kilometres,Klimov and Thompson, who collapsed completely at 42 kilometres when infifth place, being among those who did not finish. Ljunggren finishedstrongly,making up three minutes on Maskinskov in the last five kilometres, butthere was a big gap after Parmich had finished in fourth place, onlysixcompetitors completing the course inside five hours, a reflection oftheexhausting conditions in which the race was held.

information about the 2008 Australian Roadwalking championships and the
second 2008 Racewalking Australia carnival which are being jointly held
at Albert Park on Sunday 24 August.

Point browsers to http://www.vrwc.org.au and choose the item labelled
'Australian Roadwalking Championships, Sunday 24 August 2008' on the
front page.

Please review the information contained therein and contact me if there
are any items that you think need clarifying.

Kind regards and good luck to all our walkers who are preparing for
these important championships.

Tim

Hi Ian

Our expectation is that you should eventually be refunded $15.
