Only now we have learned some interesting results obtained in the Christmas Cup Indoor a national event held in Kiev on 9 and 10 January 2017. The nane is unusual for us but Ukraine follow the Orthodox calendar that celebrates Christmas two weeks later than that to which they are accustomed.
Not so much the participation in the two walking events, but excellent results especially in the men's race.
5.000m indoor men
The race was held on January 9 and saw the victory of Ruslan Dmytrenko in 19:24.6h (manual).
Second place for Nazar Kovalenko in 19:26.1h
Third place went to Konstantin Puzanov in 19:43.0h
Evidently an excellent rac. With these results Dmytrenko and Kovalenko became at the time the top two of the world indoor distance of this season, but still when compared to those of last season would in any case in the first 15 results in the world .
5.000m indoor women
Also the race of women took place on the unusual distance of 5.000m indoor. However, the level was much lower.
Victory to Evgenia Sicok in 27:02.7h
Second place to Eugenia Galcova in 27: 32.4h
Third place to Allona Shunevic in 28:20.6h
