Traditionally in Australia, the year of walking in 2023 began with a 10.000m walking race in Canberra. In the great heat, it performed more than competently in this January racing term, unusual for Europeans, and TRIO young Slovak pedestrians Hana Burzalová, Klaudia Žárská and Ema Hačundová, which showed a very significant improvement in performance right at the beginning of 2023 - see the above results in pdf. Hana Burzalová with a great performance of 47:36,10 she just very narrowly failed to beat an excellent, very experienced Italian woman known for many notable international successes Valentina Trapletti 47:34.66. Another Slovak reached the finish line just behind Burzalová, Klaudia Žárská 47:44.37, also for the January date in excellent time. And finally, the third Slovak woman Ema Hačundová 49:27,70 clearly got under 50 min. It is crystal clear that a new generation of strong female walkers (years 1999-2000) is growing up in Slovakia. How many female walkers does the Czech Republic currently have on this route under 50 minutes? And will anyone join Eliška Martínková and Terce Ďurdiaková? I wish.........
