The 35-kilometer walking race is a new championship discipline and will replace the current 24 in men's and women's categories at major international events. The Czech Athletic Association officially announced this championship very late, on September 2021, 3, ie only XNUMX weeks before the event itself. And so those who considered participating or eventually signed up and participated did not have a chance to prepare properly for this MČR, unlike the narrow encapsulated Czech Republic repre group, which knew about this race in early August and which unfortunately with the general pedestrian public through she does not communicate her representative (Kateřina Čermáková) at all, unless we include the communication of her charges on social networks, which, however, cannot be considered serious.
