ANfiUAL ORW WORLD AW U.S. RANKINGS

Each year the Ohio Racewalker pits our collective head t~ether (there ia,after all, only' one of us) and ranks walkers of the world and of the u.s., both men and women. Thia marks the tenth year of our World rankings at 20 and 50 km, the eighth year for u.s. rankings at the same distances, and the second year for ranking both world and u s women at 5 and 10 km. • •

Daniel Pantbta site at the top of the 1'/orld at 20 Km for the fifth yea r in a row and his dot~inance has been pretty much unquestioned during that span. He did lose one raoe this year but still d01ninated the world during a year of revolutionary perfonnanc~a . At th~ start of the year, the_ fastest 20 Km ever was 1:23:12. · 'D,at mark was bettered b.r 25 1nen dnrinr, 1979, maJV doing it several times. Leading the assault was &utieta. He eaw several people better hie world record on the track but regai ned it before the year was out. And he shattered all standards with his 1:18:49 on the road to beat the world' 11 best b,y a wide margin in the Lugano Cup Championships.

Raul Gonzales continued at the top over 50 Jon--his third straight year . Though Iiniohing only fourth at Lugano, hie overall record, including an astonishing track record ot )141:39, was superior, Here too the overall BU!nda rd was amazing with 11 walkera urder 3,50.

Britain• e Ma rian Fawkes daninated the \oi0t11en' 9 events and l/8.B ranked ftiat a-t. both 5 Md 10 as the lritish 4nded Swedish danination of the wanen'a events,

So, on to the rankings . Track times are indioated b.r (t).

Biutista is clearly No. l with his Forceful Lngano Cup win followed by hie world record in Montrea 1 ••• Colin had just one serious race l-efore falline ill in the Pa n Am Oames and misr.in e the rest of the Eeason but ·in thnt one he shattered the es:iating world record and easily beat 9:iut­iata and two of the top Soviets , , • There is very little t.o choose be­tween the three Soviets in third, fa1rth, and fifth. Vinnet.schenko, however, won two of three fran each of the other two and Solomin '-'On three out of four from Ya kovl,yev, so we rank the lntter fou.rth clesnite his great Lueano C11p eecond pl11ce • , • Fotschenchnk io 11 clear oixth off his L,,eano race •• • Gomez, despite finiohine behind Ca nto and Weiser . at the Luca.no meet, had the enperior record topped with his great race :m Montreal. At Vretstorp he finfshed ahead of Oa.11dP.r, tho11eh not actually in the same race •• • Weiser ie the only other Lugano finisher to tank • • ,Lelievre and Salonen both won Lueano semis fron walkers who finished well in the final. The!' did not compete in tho final since their teams didn I t qualify. Lelievre seems to ha ve a olichtly sur-e rior record topped by his early season world record • • Darnilano hit practically all of the importa nt races and perfonned well. His I~ while in eecond at the Luga no ineet with juet ll tew hundred meters t.o go cost hiiil a 1n11ch higher ranking ••• Tvetskov and Seiey-onov topped the reet of the ama~ingly deep Sov:i.et contingent and have BUpperior records to anyone elee.

The race for the U,S, title wn11 a r11.ce-lone; duitl between Knifton and Tom Dooley, with John ed~ing away over the final 10 km. After they pused 25 in 2:05:58 (Dooley) and 2:o6:00-, Knifton accelerated to pnt in his fastest 5 km split or the raoe (24:28), leavin c Dooley 22 seoonda back at 30 Km. Both alowed ap r-reciably over the laot 5, after t)tis effobt, rut John continued ~ pull out.

Bill Ranney walked in a rather isolated fourth place tht·oughout to finish in that spot. Roeer Brandwein, in a sUrring d.ual with

· Crill'lln Reaper, did close to within a minute of B.1.11 a t 30 Km, but the canl"\Y' old . veteran Ranney was able to pick up slightly the final five as Brandwein slowed. Grimm Reaper, 1rteanwh.Ue, waa the one to die on this day as he folded to a 32 :t.l fin11l 5 and watched kl.e Bl p!)Oaed victim disapnear in the distance. fort11n11tely, BriRn Snazelle, who had led both Brand"lein and Reaper early, s11ffered even more over the last 15 Ion to finish a distant seventh , Perhaps he was the one the Grimm Reaper was after on thil!J day, An.other stirring dual was tMt beh1een John Stowers nnd Bob Mimn for first in the 50-59 catep,ory , Stowers w.,s able to p111l a,1ay the last 10 as both hit the wall rather badly,

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * From time to time we have .inquiries regarding shoes for race walking, including en-eral fairly recently . So the following article by .Ma.rtin Rudow ill timezy, and, we hope, helpful to our readers.

RACE WALKING SHUES Martin Rudow

Ha ny people aek about the proper shoes for race wnllcing, The folJ.mdne 1111m:~11ry ill an attempt to ans v er some of their questions 11nd as sist walkers in choosing the beet shoes for thP.ir Din needs.

RunnJ.ng T1mee magazine recently rated running shoes in a manner that lends itself well to race walking interpretation, Accordingly, I've taken their finriinge and applied them to race wnlking criteria. There i,s no neP.d to seek 011t "special walking ehoee 11-you won't find acy anyway-since standard runnine shoes fit our needs so well. It•e simply l\ matter of finding ont the running shoe beet suited f<r race -walking.

Running 'I'J.mee rated shoes on four criteria. Shock absorption at the heel, shock absorption at the forefoot, motion control at the heel, and motion control at the forefoot. or these four criteria, the two dealing ldth the heel are the most important to walkers, the motion control at the forefoot ie next, with shock abeorption at the forefoot least important.

DEClli•J;.ER 1979 f'i1GE 17

A qui.ck rev iew of the race walkinP, strirle gives the re;ison for this ra nking of the R11nninc: Tir~es' criteria. \;'e land hart! on the hf'el, 110

adequate shock absorption is a m1tot. Just as vital is control of this heel plant, since motion in either direction is injurious, at least pot ­entially, to the knee. IinportMt a lso is a cood forward roll anrl thri1st off the toe, for motion control here is irnrortant as well, Little shock is trnnsm:l.tted frorn the forefoot on race walkinrr., so this criterion is less vital tha n others.

Among rnen1s trainin;:i shoes, three rated "very high" in all three vital areas: ·n1e Nike Daybreak and Tailwind, and the llew &lance 620, but the TailwinP, is not well GUited for wnlldne, 'I',e AdirlM SI.,130 rat,ed 11very high" in t~,o areao: motion control at the heel and forefoot, And "high" in shock absorption at the heel. Also enjoying a "very hieh'' rating in one of OtU' two rnost critical areas was the Etonic Sta hilizer, which wao thus ra ted in the motion control at the heel cate~ory; aa well as "high" in shock absorption at the heel and in motion control at the forefoot.

Moving to women~o training shoes, we find that two shoes rated "very high" in the three vital areas: the Nike Liberator .e.nd the New &lance 620W. The Nike Tempest wao "very hieh" in !!hook absorption 11ncl motion control at the heel and "high" in motion control at the forefoot. other shoes enjoying a "vel"y hieh" rating in one of our oateeories include the Adidas Lady Super Flt Mer (motion control at the heel), which was "high"

in the ot.her arena, and the Bl:'ooks Lildy Vantaee Supreme (motion control Jt the forefoot), also "high" in the other two ar ea s.

"Racing shoes" should certa inly not be purchaoecl for training; this is e rule even more important to walkers than to :r,1nners, since our need for BUpport and cuehionine is vita .l, However, for those of as serious enough to invest in shoes just for racing, here are Th1Ming Ti.l~es' r;;ci11f$ shoe ranking, oosed on the earne fcur criteria (three of importance to us>,

The Adlrlas TRX Cl+,retition and the New &lance Comp 100 are olearzy the class of the fi e ld here, with both enjoying "very high" ran kings in all three areas. T!,e Nike ChallenP,er is a"very high" in shock absorption at the heel Md "high" in motion r.ontrol at the heel and forefoot.

To Bt1Jn•1arize, here are the shoes th11t fared the best under Rt nning Times• and our criteria. We have not included the la ilwi~. Refer to the leeend below for ehoee far erecial neP.de

F.ditor• s Comre nts: One shoe I fenl mieht be addnd ie the Brooke Super Villanova, One renson ia thi,t I ain timing the,~ (Juite satisfattory. However, I can also t11rn tb the R11nner1 s World shoo rRnkinga in a re cent issue, They rate the eame criteria 1·:.iirtin has selected, albeit with different tenninol<>eY and also include two other categories I feel are irnport11nt to the ra oe walker--weir,ht and flexibility. Flexibility is the first thine; I check when looking at a new shoe,

The ehoes }4>.rtin has disc11soed above all ccrao out very well in R.1nner 1 s lforld ran ki~s, too--certainly supportine his r ec01nrrendations, All t:ut the Temnest are given"5 Star" rankings--topa--ancl the Temneot ie 1'4 Star" , However, my Super ViUanovas are also 5 Star and stnck· up very •1ell with the ehoes above in the important categories, In addition, only the New &lance 620 is lighter and none are a o flex ib le, And to top it all, the Super Vill.Anova lists at JlO to ~5 cheaper th11n the others, ( No, I don't e;et a corruoission fron Brooks elthr,,r.) It all comes do·,,n to a matt.e r of personal choice and personal needs-any new shoe is a hit of a gamble; you really don't know until it has been urder you for a few mUes. Bit it ' a good to hnve eome euidelines to start with and those Hartin hae provided are very good, And check the running magazines for subet.antitive articles and ratin1;s, ke eping in mind those criteria that nre important to walkers. (I forgot to mention, the Supe r Villanova aJ.110 011tranks the others in sole wear--a key criterion to we mizers.)

LC(JKII\G &CK 10 Years Ago (From the Dec. 1969 omi)-According to the om,, the IAAF had paeeed a rule to the effect that all shoes worn in trac k and field con petitio n, including walking, were to be solid white.

lIBl'OllT ON 'l'HK Pll)HCJTION OF RACE,wALKlNG IN THE WJAA by lhb Kitchen

College racewaJ.king has 1110.cle tre 1•1enrlous progresa this year, yet in another way, it has rea .chcd a et: ndstill. The munher of excellent co U.cge ,-•alkers is increasing ra pidly as more conferences 9-n~ colleees are con­dnctin" walking rn ces . llowever, the syif1418th.etic at.b.t.ude expr~ssed by the NCAA Rules Comi•tiltee does lit.t.le to override their conviot 7on that the la.ck of money and popUl11rity inhibits acceptance for the tJJ11e beine.

Tue New York State hie;h schools continue to be the source of a P,row­ine niunber of college wAlkern. As more are goi~ to col~eees where the coaches and conferences are sympathetic, more op rort1mit1.es are l:eing created. Most are in Division 2 and J 11choole or I.he predominantly small Ni\IA c0..,0e8es i•here money anrl scholarships are not the erune problem .

A number of conf erences have added a scc,rinr, or exhibition walk . Tt,e NAIA cont:! .nnes its indoor anti outcloor evento . The ICl1A arlcled an e,thibition 20 Ion outdoors this year and hes ,Jus t voted to lengthen its indoor ra~e from 1 to 2 mil.es. The College Track Conference in the metropolitan t,ew York arefl and the Ci ty College · of New York City Conference have scoring evento while the Maine State and Ea.stern Int.Elrcollegiated Conferences have c~mhtcted exhibitions. Tue New .«igland Smell Vollege Athletic ) Conf.erence ( Amherst, Entee, l))wdoin , 'l\lfts , Colby, Williams, Wesleyan is scheduling an indoor and out.door race.

I have continued my lobbying efforts with the !\'CAA Track and Field Rules Commit.tee which ,net at the Di vision I meet in CJ,runpaign, Illinois, Our cause ,nade leas pr ogr ess this year becanse the "s1trprise ele:nent" has van :! sred and the Couunittee has taken a firm stand on the financial un-;­willirvmese of the major shcools to nccept n new event. I do not believe fonnalunreserrtations at the national level will . do any good for the next

year or two ,

Our beet opnortunity lnl\Y be to work with the TFA/USA "rean12.ation. I epolle with the Execnt.ive Dtrect.or Eeriv Wagner and quick,zy had set:. up a 'fFA/UAS eponeored national collegiate walk to be held at 1'-orthc Central c ll Naperville IUinois in m njunction with the NCAA Division nr m~~t:gt; y 29-Jl . The race will be a. track walk, 18 or 20 km! !Jrobably Frida~ mornin,:, J.!ny 30. Final details are stil.l pending ccnf~r1~atio.n. The race ~,cold be open to any 1·111llcer nt l\ four-yP.ar college, I\C,.A, l\AIA, or other conference . 'l),is race needo our full support .

In the next year we sho-ilc' have two priorites. First, putt.ine exhib­ition or scoring walks in more and rnore conference ineets, Di,al lneets and other non-conference r 11ces are excellent, too , Second, we need to ade ­qu1ttely train more walking j11df;88, The NAIA is et.ill not out of the woods in this matter, nor a.re the t:ew York State hir,h schools, Cl.inics sho11ld be arriU'lged for the regular t.rack officials, not just specialized walki l'l& jude,es We still haws a .lone way to bo, but we are making great progress at the· "grass roots". Our guidins principle eho1,1ld he to eive colleee walkers ample conapetition and retra rd and to give the high echool walker something to look forward to.
