Ďurdiaková did not expect the title

Twenty-nine-year-old Ďurdiaková, who is a two-time medalist from the Czech marathon championship, defeated Drahotová on August 9 in Rumburk during the 20-meter track race. Today, the two held most of the track together and the decision was made in the final kilometer circuit. There was a faster Ďurdiaková, who won the title in 000:1:33. "It was unexpected for me. I got to walk by accident that I was injured, I wanted to try it. The more I got into the technique, the more I enjoyed it and now it's much more pleasant for me than running, "she said live on federal Facebook. Drahotová, whose coronavirus thwarted practically all of this year's plans and complicated her preparation with the new Australian coach Brent Vallance, admitted that she is not in top form. "I definitely know where my limits are. Time is not disappointing for me, that's how I planned it. But I won't lie, of course I'm sorry I didn't defend the Czech title," said the five-time Czech champion with a personal record of 54:1:26.

The bronze medalist from the 2017 World Championship, Palmisanová, came to the Olympic limit in rainy Poděbrady, and her victory followed on from the local triumph in the European Cup in 2017. With a performance of 1:28:40, she met the request of the international federation by more than two minutes. The second Brazilian Erica de Senová (1:31:00) and the third Glenda Morejónová from Ecuador (1:29:14) fell below the limit of 1:29:32.

Hlaváč was slowed down by punishment

Twenty-three-year-old Vít Hlaváč was also close to the first Czech title, and after fifteen kilometers he competed in the more experienced Gdul. But then he had to serve a two-minute sentence for warnings. "I got almost all the targets right at the beginning. I had a bit of a problem settling in the style and speed for the judges to like it. I felt strong on that sixteen, I wanted to go to a person. 40 seconds person, "he lamented shortly after passing the finish line at 1:28:21. During his stay in the criminal territory, Gdula got in front of him, who has lost to the Czech Championships only once since 2014 at the age of twenty. Today he won by a minute and fourteen seconds. "Vítek was stronger today than me, but unfortunately he ended up in the penalty zone for two minutes. I prevented him there and didn't catch up with me. The time is relatively solid, because this year the training was influenced by the corona and health problems. "said the XNUMX-year-old pedestrian, for whom fifty is the main track.

PODEBRADY WALKING WEBSITE

Poděbrady tradition: from the beginnings of athletics to the present worldliness

The history of the Chodec races connected with Poděbrady dates back to the last century, but the long tradition is definitely not fading at present, on the contrary. Its freshness is evidenced by at least two exceptional events: in 1997, Czech athletics celebrated a hundred years with a successful World Cup, and next year an elite from all over Europe will gather here at a similar event and on the 120th anniversary of the domestic "queen of sports".

It should be noted that the beginning was rather symbolic, the race did not take place until the end of the 1932s. It was only with the introduction of the 1929th Walking Festival at the Los Angeles Olympics in XNUMX that a renewed premiere took place three years earlier - in XNUMX. With the exception of four war years, "Poděbrady" is already held regularly.

As a reminder of famous history, let us mention a few names. Jaroslav Štork-Žofka from AC Sparta won five times in the 4s, whose best time of 40:1946 lasted until 4. At that time, the legendary Josef Doležal triumphed for the first time and the performance of 23:40:4 was the first of his three world records. Exclusively "Poděbrady", with time squeezing until 16:06:1954 (1949). Between 1955 and 1978, he added unsurpassed seven victories in a row. he set his own world record here to 3:41:20, only the Czechoslovak Pavol Szikora was able to get closer to him on the classic track, ten years later he escaped in 3:46:52.

It all started at the end of the nineteenth century, when the first sports clubs or competitions were established. The Chodecký race from Karlín to Prague in Poděbrady for 50 kilometers had its premiere in 1894 - two years before the first modern Olympics. The pedestrians (then a term for pedestrians) from AC Královské Vinohrady, who competed for the club championship title on the track, were responsible for that.

The general partner of the event is the company SMOLA KONSTRUKCE Ltd  

Podebrady tradition: from the cradle of the current athletics to Czech worldliness

On 8 April 2017 the 85th Edition Race Walking Competition will be held on a recently reconstructed surface in the Spa Park in Poděbrady. And once again it will not be just a national championship on a 20 km track. Czech race walkers will measure their strength with international rivals within an international race or a meeting under the auspices of the European Athletic Association. It is an ideal opportunity to meet the nomination criteria for top events.

The history of race walking associated with Poděbrady dates back to the nineteenth century. However, a long tradition does not linger at present, to the contrary. Its freshness is demonstrated by at least two outstanding events: in 1997 the Czech Athletics celebrated one hundred years with a successful World Cup, and next year the elite from all over Europe will meet here at a similar event during the 120th anniversary of the local " queen of sports ".

Everything started… at the end of the nineteenth century, when the first sports clubs and competitions came to existence. The first 50 km race walking competition from Karlín (in Prague) to Poděbrady was held in 1894 - ie two years before the first modern Olympic Games. The merit goes to pedestrians (the then term for race walkers) from AC Královské Vinohrady who competed on the track for a club title.

It should be noted that the beginning was rather symbolic: no race took place until the end of the 1920s. Only with the introduction of 50 km race walking at the Olympics in Los Angeles in 1932, three years earlier - ie in 1929 - a new premiere took place. With the exception of four years during the WWII the "Poděbrady" race is held regularly. With regard to the change of rules (eg due to the recognition of World Records) since the 1990s the race has been organized at the 1 km long town circuit in the Spa Park.

As a tribute to the glorious history ... let's mention a few names. In the 1930s, a five-time winner was Jaroslav Stork-Žofka of AC Sparta, whose best result 4:40 lasted until 1946. It was the first triumph of the legendary Josef Doležal and his performance of 4:23:40 was the first of his three world records, which he exclusively achieved in "Poděbrady", reducing time to 4:16:06 (1954). From 1949 to 1955 he added unequalled seven wins in a row. The four-hour limit was then withstanding for nearly a quarter of a century, until the Mexican Raúl González beat the record in 1978 with 3:41:20. Only Pavol Szikora (from Czechoslovakia) managed to get close to the record on a classic track ten years later when his result was 3:46:52.

In April 1997 the small town on the Elbe River enjoyed a big sports event - a thousand participants and their escorts, personal presence of the former IAAF president Nebiolo Prima ... All this thanks to the organization of the 18th edition of the World Cup. The race walkers performed their excellent results, the best in that year: Jefferson Perez (Ecuador) race walked the 20 km track in 1:18:24 and Jesús Ángel García (Spain) made 50 km in 3:39:54.

The duel of the two Leneks was quite interesting at all. The two Lenka went together for a long time, until Pepa Smola lost one full 400m lap.

PITCH WALK will open a new modern regeneration center on Saturday, November 9, 2019

The coming Saturday, November 9, 2019, will be carried in a festive garb.

PITCH WALK ceremoniously opens a new regeneration center at its headquarters in Prague - Velká Chuchle. It was a year of ant work and fighting, almost like a 50km walk, but it worked.

The modern regeneration center includes one of the most modern sauna facilities (for up to 5 people), which, in addition to the classic dry Finnish sauna, has been expanded with a steam generator with a Sanarium, developing moist air in the sauna area. Of course, there is a stainless steel cooling pool with filtration technology and water cooling, while the water is cooled down to + 4 ° C !!!, which is absolutely essential for proper and rapid regeneration of the athlete's body after heavy endurance training. Another integral part of the center is a whirlpool for up to 3 people, which can be controlled remotely and basically switched on using a smart phone on the way from the training unit.
