We continue the annual publication of the lists provided with the support of the archive of "All-Athletics.com", with the following:

world list - 10.000m track walk U20 men

Only two Italian athletes are in the top 100 list, in which were considered only one performance per athlete:

Gregorio Angelini with the performance of 42:20.46 obtained in Eskilstuna (SWE) on July 18, 2015 is 39th

Gianluca Picchiottino with the performance of 42:48.03 obtained in Eskilstuna (SWE)  on July 18, 2015 is 53rd

Leads the list the Japanese Toshikazu Yamanishi with the performance of 39:28.62, obtained at the Japan National University Championships in Osaka (JPN) last September 13, 2015, followed by Tomohiro Noda (JPN) with the performance of 40:00:09 also got in Osaka in the same competition, and Diego Garcia (ESP), with the performance of 40: 21.05 obtained in Eskilstuna on July 18, 2015 with his victory at the European Junior Championships

However, in our opinion, the most interesting race in the season was the one of the first edition of the Youth Chinese Games in Fuzhou on October 24, 2015 with as many as 37 Chinese athletes with performances under 44:35.00 and obviously included in the first 100 athletes of the world list. 

It 's very interesting to note that in the list of the top 100 athletes are represented 23 Countries (in 2014 are represented 26 Countries), and in this case the list is leaded by Cina with 38 athletes, followed by Russia (19) and Japan (11).

It's also interesting to note that to enter in the list of the top 100 athletes this year it was necessary to obtain a time less than 44:30:90, 2’28.14 faster than 2014 (46:59.44) obtained by Finnish Artturi Oila (Nurmijarvi, FIN - 16.7.2014).
