SUNDAY 9 August 8:

Chodecké races continued on Sunday. We listened to the wishes of the competitors and after 13 years we again organized a men's and women's race for 20 meters on the track in the Czech Republic. Especially women were about to set a new record for the Czech Republic at 000 meters of walking. It was very hot again, so we postponed the start an hour earlier. At 20 we started the women's race for 000 meters and 8.00 meters of walking.

And the result is amazing, the winner of the race set a new record for the Czech Republic. And who is the new record holder? 15 meters, it seemed that our best pedestrian of recent times, Anežka Drahotová, was headed for the record, but within two kilometers, five laps, Anežka was a great fit. Tereza Ďurdiaková and in the last three kilometers she reached under forty an hour for a great performance (1: 39: 53,1) and deservedly became the new record holder of the Czech Republic. The second place belongs to Anežka Drahotová, who finished very fast on Saturday. She also did very well in the relays and that was probably the piece of strength that was missing at the end of the twenty. Štěpánka Pohlová Kučerová, who ran under less than fifty hours, also came in third in a beautiful personal record! Great news for women walking. Everything is enhanced by the beautiful performance growth of Eliška Martínková, who finished first on the 10-meter track (000: 50). We have something to look forward to in the International Championship in Poděbrady! All two pedestrians reached the finish line, three went twenty and six athletes went ten.

The men's start took place at 10.00 at a temperature of 32 degrees. Four fighters took the start of the twenty. Six pedestrians made it to the top ten. Machine pace, regular refreshment and a beautiful winning performance were demonstrated by Víťa Hlaváč - 1:32:28, followed by the ageless Martin Nedvídek in 1:39:10 and the third place was won by a junior, record holder from Saturday at 5000 meters walk, representative of SMOLA CHŮZE Prague Jaromír Morávek at 1:40:56. Tomáš Vojtíšek finished fourth in 1:59:12. In Chile, the temperature was around 35 degrees.

Adam Zajíček was in the top ten at 48:02. All fighters who started at the start reached the finish line.

The race was of great quality, the winners and their pursuers deserve great admiration. Everyone went out, fought for every meter and the performances are really great! The incredible performance was performed by young pedestrians from Rumburk, they tirelessly refreshed for four hours, and thanks to you, pedestrians performed such great performances. Again, everything seemed so simple, everything worked out, and I can thank everyone. Competitors, organizers from AC Rumburk, judges and spectators. It was a difficult weekend, but it was worth it. The reward is two Czech records.
