They took place this weekend at the Thong Nhat Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City the International Open Championships in Athletics with the race walking events on the distance of 10,000m track walk for men and 5.000m track walk for women.
Certainly the results are not the same we are used in Europe and in other leading nations of the World, but in any case they give the feeling of more and more attention to race walking from new countries.
Through the collaboration of the International Race Walking Judge of Indonesia, Sardjito, we obtained the results.
