PARADOX START MARTINA NEDVÍDKA NA 20KM - EA Permit Meeting - YES / European Championship - NO:

Yes, if someone reads the start list above in more detail, this is really the case: Martin Nedvídek, who was not nominated in the European Championship for the Czech team at 20km (as his third member to Gdul and Hlaváč), starts in the same race at 20km for the Czech Republic, but only within the EA Permit Meeting !!!!  What does it mean? Although all three of our representatives (Gdula, Hlaváč, Nedvídek) will successfully complete the 20km walking race, the Czech team will not be evaluated within the European Championships !! There is perhaps no need for further comments ............
