The championship races will show a true picture of the current state of the Czech pedestrian national team

The first walking peak of this year will take place on 9.2. , when traditionally young people will compete for the titles in the Prague hall of Otakar Jander in Stromovka. Technical delegate of ČAS dr. Kňákal selected from 66 registered 53 those who either met the limits from 1.4. To 31.12.2019 or exceeded them from 1. 1. to 2.2.2020 in five held races on 3 000 and 5000 m walk (11. and 29.1. Jablonec nad Nisou, 12.1 January Prague-Strahov, 19.1 January Ostrava-Vítkovice and 25.1 January Olomouc).

In the category of 3 pupils, the highest number of 000 pedestrians will be at the start. As last year, Ema Klimentová, 16, AK Šternberk (this year 2005: 15 min) and Adéla Veselková, 15.64, TJ Rumburk (this year 2006: 15 min) will compete for the first place on the track in Kolín. Lucie Krinwaldová, 25.41, AC Mladá Boleslav (last year 2005: 16 min-this year did not start) and Adéla Pittnerová, 27.17, Spartak Vrchlabí are candidates for the bronze medal by a long way. SMOLA KONSTRUKCE (this year 16: 40.68 min). It is quite unlikely that another student will be involved in the fight for medals. Fifth Alžběta Franková, 2005, AC Sparta Prague, has a time of 18: 06.86 min this year and Anna Výmolová, 2005 (last year 18: 04.18 min) and Hana Maštalířová, 2005 (last year 18: 16.13 min ), or Anna Horáková, 2005, AC Rumburk (last year 18: 06.36 min-this year did not start). However, other pedestrians can also affect the fifth place if they improve significantly.

There will be nine pupils at the 3 m at the start and the main candidate for the title last year in Kolín is Matěj Piták, 000, Spartak Vrchlabí SMOLA KONSTRUKCE (last year 16: 23.74 and this year 16: 36.1 min). The second time is Vojtěch Novák, 2006, TJ Slezan Frýdek Místek (this year 17: 19.59 min) and it is a question whether he will be threatened by others in the order, Tomáš Endršt, 2005, USK Prague (this year 17: 44.37 min) and Filip Klazaroví, 2006, Spartak Vrchlabí SMOLA KONSTRUKCE (this year 17: 45.46 min). Other students behind them are already 40 to 74 seconds apart.

Nine were also nominated for the 3 m youth team. The clear favorite is Klára Hlaváčová, 000, AC TEPO Kladno (last year 2003: 15 min-this year did not start); second is last year's indoor student champion Katka Nedvídková, 28.96, AC Rumburk (last year 2004: 15 and this year 59.73: 16 min). The most experienced student medalist is Amálie Mynářová, 57.39, TJ Slezan Frýdek-Místek (last year 2003: 16 and this year 55.47: 17 min) and Tereza Pittnerová, 53.39, Spartak Vrchlabí SMOLA KONSTRUKCE (this year 17: 48.99 min), Vivien Uvírová, 2006, Athletics Poruba (last year 17: 27.81 and this year 18: 51.40 min) and Rozálie Drobníková, 2004, TJ LIAZ Jablonec nad Nisou (last year 17: 53.84 and this year 18: 35.95 min) .

There will be five juniors at the 5 m at the start. Adam Zajíček secured the role of the first candidate for the championship title this year, 000, Atletika Poruba (2003: 22 min); second Jaromír Morávek, 30.56, AC Moravská Slavia Brno, (last year 20036: 22 and this year 48.4: 23 min) has a long distance behind him. Of last year's three pupils, only the autumn champion Roman Hanyk, 53.71, AC Turnov (2004: 26 min) walked this track; Patrik Solnička, 24.04 and Matěj Šturma, 2004, both AC Mladá Boleslav, have experience only from last year's circuit "five" in Poděbrady.

A record ten juniors were nominated for 3000 m. Eliška Martínková, 2002, AC Turnov (13: 38.23 min this year) should win unrivaled, as well as Jana Zikmundová, 2002, AC Turnov (15: 35.93 min this year). Michaela Baklíková, 2001, AK ŠKODA Plzeň has the greatest hope for the bronze medal (this year 16: 01.85 min); the candidates for the top six are also Denisa Pánková, 2002, TJ Slezan Frýdek-Místek (last year 16: 28.65 and this year 16: 46.42 min), Veronika Fürstová, 2001 (last 17: 01.30 with OR 15: 40.42 min from 2017) and Karolína Holičová, 2002 (last year 16: 31.3 and this year 17: 17.69 min). Pavla Cinkánová, 01 AC Slovan Liberec (17: 22.39 min) could surprise with a big improvement.

There will again be at least four juniors at 5 m, and compared to previous years there is no "star" among them, such as Libnar or Rožnovský. The best of them, Petr Dušek, 000, TJ Rumburk, goes for a run (2001 m 1500:4 min) and pays less walking (he didn't go this year, last year 33: 24 and OR 15.6: 23 min from 37.7). Whether he will succeed in defeating his "eternal" rival Filip Kašťovský in this situation, 2018, Athletics Poruba (this year 2001: 25 min, OR 20.16: 24 from 21.30), will only be shown by the race. The third place will be decided by a duel between the youth medalist Daniel Balicz, 2018, AC Mladá Boleslav (this year 2002: 27 min, OR 24.80: 27 last year) and the runner who always starts once a year at the championship, Adam Matulka, TJ Baník Stříbro (last year 02.1 : 26 min).

The championship races will certainly have an interesting course and give a true picture of the current state of the Czech pedestrian national team.
