Comment

The biannual World/European Race Walking Cup generally sees at least 50
% of the field record a season's or personal best performance. The Team
GB athletes are challenged to target a season's best performance as
their minimum target for race day, providing an appropriate stimulus for
developing athletes. In terms of planning the World Cup is identified as
peak one, with a second peak for the summer championships (World
Juniors/Olympics).



The Team has just enjoyed a training camp based at Brunel University,
training with the Athletics Australia World Cup Team for a mix of dates
between 24th April to 4th May as fitted individual plans. Most sessions
occurred at Eton Rowing Centre, Black Lake Country Park and Brunel
campus. The UK Athletics Performance Department funded the camp.

Next weekend it's the racewalking world cup in Russia. Has the
British team been announced yet, I would presume it's Jo, Ben and the
King boys.

Any idea if there will be any TV coverage of the event in the UK
(Eurosport?)

thanks
