SCULLY, LIERS41E:5TERFIELD CAPUTRE T1TU!S AT I(-' . ll' iaga.ra. Falls, July 17--Accottpinied by the roar of the Falls, Todd Scully and Susan Liers-Weeterfiel.d strode to victory In National Tl£ walk ing races today. Scully won the JO K111 1n 2:28:45, good time ln aid-eummer heat and humJdity, and Liars-Westerfield took the 1.5 Ka in 1:11 :11. Master's titles went to Jack Boitano in 2 :56 ,4<> and G1oria Brown 1n 1,36 137 . An accompany ­ing Junior 1.5 K111 went to Andy Liles 1n 1:14:17 .

Scully was challenged early in the race by Canada•s Francois La.Pointe . The two went through the first 5 Km 1n 22 :08, having a lready dr opped the rest of the field (Pete Timmons 2J•Jl , Steve Pecinovsky and Glenn Swea zey 24,<Xj. At 10 Ka, Scully led by only 4 seconds 1n 45,n, with Tiamons DO'lf 2½ minutes back and Pecinovsky and Sweazey another .50 s econds behind hill.

Scully managed to open some distance over the next 5 lal, as be recorded 1:08:49 at 1.5. Ia.Pointe was now 18 seconds llack and droi:ped f'r o111 the race at this point . Thtls Todd:on his own, as Timlllons was nearly 4 11inute s back, with Pecino vsky and Sweazey closing ground on him. Collling into the picutre at this 'POint was veteran Ray Somers (just 1 year fro11 t he Masters ca tegory). who moved fro1111th to seventh between 10 and 15.

By 20 Km, Timmons bad slowed appreciably and Pecinovsky- had hit the wall hard, so Sweazey was 11oving out on his own in second , but was now more taan 6 minutes lack of Scully's l:JJ•22, Mel McGinnis, moving stead ily throughout, now lay fourth behind Timmons, and although Somers had moved up another spot, he had been Je,ssed by Plartin Xraf't, who had been moving through with him,

Scully was untroubled the rest of the way and had no need to push the piee . Marty Kraft continued his move, and was up to third by 25 Km, having opened nearly a 11inute on SOiiers, with Timmons still between them. However, that seemed to be a dying spurt, as he needed nearly 31 minute s t o cover his f"ina.l 5. Somers , covering the final 10 km faster than eith er of the leaders, finished a solid third, with Timmons calling it a day afte r 25 Ka. Don Winiecki caught ff.cCinnis on the final lap to take fifth.

In the women's race, Sue L-W had things pretty much her own way throughout, with the expected challenge :froDI SUe Brodock never coming , Sue struggled through to ninth place. Detroit• e June i'lacDonald walked well to take second from HoI'IDa Arnesen and Teresa Vaill.

ER.'t\TA: Notwithstanding official results of the race we received from a cou~le of sources, Marco Evoniuk finished in a tie with Jim Heiring in the 3ergen 20 Km race. The results showed the::2 having the same ti.me but with Ji!:! infourth and Marco fifth. Furthenore, I was given informahon that showed them having the same splits throughout. Not true. Those given i.'1 the June issue were co=ect for Ju. !'arco trailed hiJII at 5 K11 with a 20:44, but led at both 10 and 15. His 10 km ti.me of 41:42 is an American record. He ha.d l:OJ:18 at 15 km. Apologies to Mzrco for tbe mistake, although they would share the 20 Km record in either case.

The other big booboo in June was the~ I folded the wrong way so that P38e 7 followed Jage 4 and 8 preceded 5 and 6. Actually, it was ju.st a little puzzle for you. If you removed that oenter sheet, turned it over and replaced it, every thing was okay. H6w many figured it ouH Anywa:y, ' our offiei.a.1 collator, who also serves as editor, publisher, circulation manager, business manager, and printer's devil. is now on probabation and in real je opardy of losing his job.

HEIRING SHOWS WELL IllTERHATlDNALLY

Since his easy win in the National TAC 20 km in Knoxville, Jim Heiring had two excellent n.ces in dual T&F 111Bets with two of the world's l.eacilng

walking powers. In Indiana.polis on July 3, he finished a close second to Yevgeniy Yevsyukov, ranked fifth in the world the last 2 years and the wi.tlnar of that Ber~n race . A week· later in East Germany, he just missed second place, but 1.J11proved his Indianapolis time.

The Indianapolis race was walked in very hwllid conditions that took their toll before the race aas finished. Joining Yevsyukov and Heiring on the starting line were Ray Sharp and Nikolai Matveyev. The four s~ed

sMllt !~~eiJ~ t~m~ ~~JR0ffle8.fti~~ '6~1Y ilJi1thr~~ b_tc,

km in 42 :41. Sharp had 44 t 10. The race started to open up over the next lap and Jill couldn't quite

match the pace of Ievsyukov, who finished 15 klll in 11041~1. At the same ti.me Matveyev was 5 seconds in arears of Jim's 1:04:J5 and appeared to be s~gling, Indeed, that was the case as Heiring moved well clear of hill over the last 5 lcJI and yielded ground only grudgingly to the strong, fluid Yevsyukov. At the finish it was Yesyulcov 1 :26 142, Heiring ls27:05, and Matveyev 1:29:29. Sharp, once he lost contact, found the rest of the race a. real struggle and finished in 1137:02. He knew the early :i;ace was too much for hiJ, on this day, but in a. four-man race, -..hat do you do? Ray will, see much better days, as he demonstrated a 11eek later.

All we have on that race, held in Karl-1".arx Stadt, S.G. are the results: 1. Werner Reyer, E.G. 1:24:25 2 . Michael Boenke, E.G. 1:26 11) J. Jim Heiring, USA 1 :26:1) 4. Ray Sharp, tJSA 1:29:49

One other International dua.l meet was held in Durham, ttC. with West Germany, this one including a 10 Km walk. Todd Scully and l'larco Evnniuk represented the U.S .

West Germany's Franz Joseph Weber took the early lead mider a blazing sun, and was not to be beaded. ScuD.y slipped a'><ay from Evoniuk about hal:t way through the race and inade some inroads on the Ge="s lead froll there to the fin ish. But the margin was too great for Todd to pose any real threat and Weber finished an easy first. The results: 1. Franz Josein Weber, W.G. 4J :51,l 2, Todd Scully, USA 44:20.5 J.

RACE W.WCING PUNDAMENTAIS

by Dr. John Blackburn

(This is one of a series of articles by our fried and mentor that were published in the ORW in the late •6os, but still have relevance today.)

Race walkers are a quee:r lot. The only skill they need to acquire i s the ability- to keep one foot on the ground at all speeds and to straighten the weight-bearing leg at sometime during the stride. But are they content to stop there? No, they mu.st weave and bob, They must gri.aace, wave their heads about, flail their arms, be:IA:h, groan and wheeze. The expectorate

copiously and cry loudly ~or sustenance. They wear all manner of outlandish gear• such as veils over thelr heads and riboons ti~ t? th!ir sh~..s They leave a smell of f'1atulence and strong, sta le perspuation lll their wake, so that on a warm, still day on a lap course, the atmospher is quite foul, Is it any wonder that spectators lose interest and melt away? is it any l4onde.r the casual observer feels he is witnessing an outing by the inmates 0£ the nearest mental institution? Is it any wonder that race ir~lking will never; as popular as baselall?

lfy plea is for all race walkers to try to shed any or all of these <i.ra1>­atic side effects and concenUEate on proper race walk~ :'or111. Seriously 11peaki.Jlr,, a good race walker is apleasure to behold an~ doe s more for the sport than anything else. I know we can't all be Hei:nngs, Evoniuks , and O'C<tDDO:t'li _ _(Ed. I chose to update the lairds, Haluzas, and Mortland he used orier,ina.1..i.yJ, but we can try . So let's go 'bra.ck to fundamental of how to keep one foot on the ground at all times and to straighten the weight-bearing leg at sometime during the stride.

To accornpllsh this, the athlete must learn to walk with a rota.-7 motion of the hip joints. :In ordinary walking, the hi'.j:G are fixed in one :;,lane and nearly all motion is dependent on the knees. The head and body bob along in a vertical plane, and if walking speed is increased, there is a great strain thrown on the th~ musculature. \then speed is a«a,in inc=ased, the double supporting phase (when both feet are on the ground) disappears and nmni.ng J_s the result. That is-both feet are off the ground.

It is at this point that the skill of the true race .alker beco~es evid• , ent. The forward and downward rotation of the hip joints increases. his length

of st ride and enables him to mintain contact up to 200 ste'.j:G per 12inuu.. 'I.he vertical rnotion of the head and body disapears, which means thz.t the cen­ter of gravity of the body remains at the same point above the ground. This is a very illportant item, because the bocy weight must bo longer be xaised several inches at every step. All muscular energy can therefore be used to creat forward motion. The a.rlllS are flexed at 90 degrees at the elbow and swing freely. 'Ihe hands rise to nearly shoulder height b front a.nd drop to a position just to the rear of the hip.

Race 'I/al.king was once called "heel and toe walking", since it is obvious that the hell of one foot is landing as the toes of the other foot are driv­ing off, both being in contact with the ground for an instant. I think ;:e have all seen the race walker who sprints to the finish line with perfect form, but is showing an inch or more of daylight under each foot at this point.

Walking judge~ should use some of the follo~ing faults to help deterlaine the validity of race walking form and style:

o Motion of the head and body in a vertical plane. This implies inade­wua.te hip 12otion, and eventual loss of contact ,

o Goose stepping or high knee lif't. This may pu.11 the rear foor off t.b4 ground too soon with resulting los s of contact.

o Forward lead of the body. Again, there is danger of pulling the rear foot off the ground before the heel of the leading foot is down.

o Hands carried too high . Tbis is turn lifts the shoulders am tends tc pull the walker off the ground during the double supporting ~e, <!VWI

thougb his hip motion may be perfect.

o Knees bent. 'lbis is nearly always associated with absence of hip moti­lon. At racing speeds, the competitor will be jogging am contact with the ground will be lost.

JU.i.,Y 19ti2

JULY l ·~

In conclusion, let me make a plea for us to leave off the dramatics, the exotic attire, wear clean uni.forms in good repair and concentrate on de~nt walking form. This, I am convinced, will help the sport as much as anything.

THE MASTER :rn ACTION Although his best times may pale in comparison to performances in the

past 4 or 5 yea.rs, Vladimir Golubnichiy 111USt still rank as the top 20 Km walk.er of all time. Consider the amazing competitive record and longevity of this Soviet ace, who also ranked as a true sportsman in every sense of the word. He first came on the scene in 1955, when, at the age of 19, he had the world's second fastest time for the year-l:30:02.8. Three years later he really made his mark when he broke the world's record onthe tzack at Sim:fe­opol with a 1:27:05 on September 23, a time that would still do him well today. A .,.ear later (Sept. 15, 1959) he bettered that mark with a 1:26:1'.),2 in Odessa. '!'hen began his amazing Olympic oddesey : 1960, Rome-1st 1:)4,07.2; 1964, 'l'okyo-Jrd 1:31:59,4; 1968, Mexico City--lst, 1:33:.58.4; 1972, Munich-2nd, 1:26:55 .2; 1976, Montreal--7th, 1:29124.6. The latter race was his swan song at ag-e 4-0. In 1974, at 2ge 38, he won the European title and was ranked No. l in the world. He was a frequent and popular competitor in the US-USSR meets, winning six times, He competed in only two wgano Cu.PS (the Soviets did not enter until 1967) and finished second both times (1967 and 1970). 'l'be fqllowing sequence, taken from. the British book Race Walking by Julian l!Dpkins {lW6), showcases his flawless style,

WAIKrnG JN THE OLYMPit::S

The first :cace walk ing in the Olympics was at the "unofficial" Games held i.'1 Athens. Greece in 1906. Winners there were George Bonhag of the U.S. at 1500 meters in 7 ;1.2.6 and Gyorgy Sztancisics of Hungary at 3000 meters in 15: 13 .2. Walking became an official part of the Olympics at london in 1909 and have been included in every Olympics since, except for 1928. They were dropped that year because of controversy over judging . P.rior to that , the longest -race had been 10 Mi, When walking was :reinstated in 1932, it was at 50 Km only, an attempt to a.void judging dontroversy, A 10 Km was put b3.ck in in 1948 and changed to 20 Km in 19.56. In 1976, the 50 Km was ?

dropped as i:art of a program to streamline the program , but it was reimltituted ' in 1980. Starting here is a wmmary of past Olympic results.
