Vladimír Kánský won another medal in M75, but due to a scandalous mistake of the Spanish organizers "only" BRONZE !!! The women's team in M35 won GOLD !!! Naděžda Dušková won the 35th place in M4 only one single second from the bronze medal !!! Martin Nedvídek in M40 in 6th place in excellent time 47: 16min!

The absolute winner of the race ERIC MAUGO SIKUKU (KENYA) 43:18 !!!

ERIC MAUGO SIKUKU - KENYA (photo on the left) with the time of 10:43 !!! Of the top of the field, Eric was also the best technically walking pedestrian. When more natives in Kenya teach sports walking like Eric Mauga Sikuku, the world competition will be richer by another walking power !!! and it will not take long !!!! We will bring a more detailed analysis of the world competition in Malaga after the end of this World Cup in a separate analysis.

What happened in the 10km race on the road in category M75, has no analogues at this level !! It came with a difficult and absolutely fundamental mistake of the Spanish organizers Vladimír Kánský on the SILVER MEDAL and had to be satisfied "only" with BRONZE. What happened? The race was run on a 1km circuit, which was run a total of 9 times and with the final 1km phase with the finish at the main stadium, ie after 9 circuits, each competitor from the circuit was directed to the stadium, to the finish. Unfortunately not so Vl. Kánský, he was sent to the next round by mistake !!! after passing another 100 meters in the 10th circuit !!! Petr Adam noticed this and turned Vladimír back towards the stadium, thus losing approx. 40 precious seconds, and mainly the German Schumm prevented him and thus got in front of him to the silver position, which was safely held by Vl before this tragic mistake. Kánský. What did not happen, the organizers, in order to correct their mistake, gave Kánské time back by 30 seconds, thus getting back in time before Schumm, but the order has not changed. This led to a "world rarity", but rather to the "world disgrace" of the Spanish organizers, because the competitor with better time took third place behind the competitor with worse time, who took second place !!!!! It became an inexcusable mistake, which the organizers had to correct by exchanging a bronze medalist between Kánský and Schumm for a silver medal !!! Unfortunately, this did not happen ........ so CONGRATULATIONS to Vladimir Kánský for the BRONZE MEDAL and the time for the SILVER MEDAL. Fortunately, Vladimir doesn't care, because he already has so many medals that he is absolutely out of the question!

Official results of the World Masters 10km Road Walk M75, see the table below in 2nd and 3rd place and the times achieved !!!

He also went for the Czech Republic in this race Zdeněk Gonsiorovský M75, who reached 11:1:14 in 07th place, even though he lives in Arizona and is therefore used to hot weather and tropical conditions, the Spanish "heat" still affected him more than the Arizona one ......... in the same race but in the category M65 again fought as strong as Petr Adam and with a time of 1:06:32 this time he won 18th place, Petr started the race very fearlessly and in the meantime at the 2nd km he was in 13min, ie exactly according to the plan, then came the "crash into the wall", which was probably recognized by most competitors who compete in walking races in Malaga regardless of age (I knew soon so am I in my race ...... see below)

In the afternoon races of the "junior combat units" first Pepa Smola in M50 12th place and time 54:16 he knew what Petr Adam had done before in the morning race. The first two kilometers after 5:11 min / km were still the best of those that Pepa showed, after the 5 km in the meantime 26:27 min it went very "fast downhill". In these difficult moments, you can say your will, fighting spirit, morale, world championship, etc. - it was all in full permanence, but the organism somehow does not want to understand what it does not want to understand, it even sometimes wants to boycott it and also vomits ... ........

Then came the best performance in terms of time achieved by the Czech competitors, which he showed Martin Nedvídek in 6th place in M40 in excellent time 47:16.  In the same race in Miloš Dušek went to 19th place in time 59:08.

In the women's race in M35 was Naděžda Dušková just 1 second from the bronze medal !!! and with a time of 58:17 she finished in 4th place and at the same time gained (I think for the first time!) a scalp Lenka Borovičková, who finished 45th in the M8 in 58:41, to complement them Martina Netolická in M35 in 6th place with time 1:00:39 and when it all came together and underlined, it was like this in the team competition: Women's team in M35 consisting of Naděžda Dušková 58:17, Lenka Borovičková 58:41, Martina Netolická 1:00:39 won GOLD !!!
