The excellently organized 9th year of the Prague Clock was decorated by a Ukrainian pedestrian Lyudmila Olyanovská with a fantastic performance of 13.260 mv in a clockwork walk on the track, which is also the record of the Prague pedestrian clockwork meeting. The Ukrainian competitor fulfilled the role of a great favorite and set an almost murderous pace of 4:30 min/km from the start, which she maintained without any problems for the entire 60 min. Soon after the start, it was clear that the Italian woman Colombi's 12.995 meeting record of 2017m would be shaken to its foundations. In the end, Lyudmila surpassed him by 266m! AND split time for 10 km 45:04 min has high world parameters in women's walking. 

In the men's category, it is clearly the favorite of the race Rafael Sikora it wasn't from the beginning, because Jarda Morávek very bravely stepped on his heels. In the end, however, around the 10th km (44:52), the Polish representative managed to reduce the pace to below 4:30 min/km and won quite convincingly with his performance 13.346m.

Czech competitors were the most successful to Jard Moravek,  which has a performance of 13.158m won the silver medal behind the winning Polish representative (see above in the article). He climbed to the bronze step on the podium Rosta Kolar, when he defeated again (as in Satalice). Martin Nedvidek, who was already the leader in Zittau......and thus relegated him to the unpopular fourth place. He finished fifth in the ranking Steffen Borsch from SV Halle and behind him the youth was already pushing forward, in 6th place Roman Hanyk (2004) from Turnov, in 7th place Albert Kukla (2005) from Prague and in 8th place only 15-year-old Matěj Piták (2007), which just very narrowly missed the 11km mark. Struggling with the virus Josef Smola (9th place) so unfortunately he couldn't compete with Matěj Piták and finally in 10th place our friend from Poland Mirek Luniewski - walking dinosaur. In the so-called slower group, the representative of Switzerland won Cédric Bouel (overall 11th place). He finished in 12th place overall Miloš Němec and co-organizer of the race Petr Adam finished 200m behind him in 13th place. Not far behind Petr Adam, another friend of ours had a nice performance on the clock Horst Kiepert from Augsburg, Germany. He finished in 15th place overall Stanislav Marek (Snake), in front of the oldest participant of the meeting Zdenek Gonsiorovský, who barely crossed the 7km mark, but hats off to both of them at this age!

In the women's 1-hour walking race, the Czech representative trained lightly behind the winner Olyanovská Tereza Ďurdiaková and behind her, only the 16-year-old Czech pedestrian hope won the bronze step Adéla Pittnerová from SK Vrchlabí SMOLA KONSTRUKCE with a power of 10450m! She finished in the unpopular 4th place (but in the imaginary 1st place in the MASTERS category!). Lenka Borovičková. In overall 5th place Johan Petříková from Spartak Prague 4, she did not manage to cross the 4km mark by just 10m! They finished the race behind her in the overall order Martina Netolická from Liberec, Ivana Vranková from Vyškov, Ema Kyselicová and Karolína Jeníková - both from Spartkau Prague 4, Lenka Slabáková from Brno and then she finished behind her, the only competitor in the time trial from the organizing team AC Praha Jana Zárubová - pioneer of Czech women's walking and former successful Czech representative and record holder. And finally, she had her pedestrian premiere Libuše Vlachynská, which just got over 7km (by 2 meters!).
