Representative Pitch WALK PRAGUE Jaromír Morávek at the league race in Nové Město nad Metují successfully crossed the 22min limit on a 5.000m walk on the track, thus pushing Rudolf Cogan's record from 1988 by 15 seconds !!! Congratulations !!!

Note:

The record is so far unofficial, because according to the uncertain interpretation of the rules for walking, even though the power was measured by chips, a target camera is required (which is total bullshit when walking), which the race organizer in Nové Město nad Metují unfortunately did not have. Below is an explanation by experts: 

Dear Mr. Smolo,

I am sorry for the situation - as the main judge quoted, the record has not been recognized yet. However, I am not the official body that approves the records, this is the TIME Jury.

Questions about the timekeeping used are currently being handled by the competition committee with the competition department and the technical delegate. 

I will be happy if I am wrong and the record is recognized. In any case, I will inform you about new facts.

S pozdravem
