Sandro Damilano has finished updating the 2017 most representing female athletes in the world included with the most up-to-date technical reports.
How to identify them?
The choice has been to carefully weigh the results obtained over the last three years, but particularly in the last season between athletes that, in this period of time, have been in the top ten of the world rankings in 20 km. Sandro Damilano then used these parameters in his statistical work with the goal of providing our readers an insight into how much richer for statistical data to those who, at least according to the views of Marcia dal Mondo, should be the "best athletes" .
The section dedicated to Foreign Athletes (women) was updated at 31.12.2017.
Are below presented reports of 14 athletes (including the Olympic medal winners mentioned in our news of Jan. 4, 2017 and the athletes of Italy) belonging to 9 Countries.
The athletes were divided by country of origin in order to facilitate research and for every athlete have been updated:
- Personal best
- Progressions over the years in their main races
- Clicking on "Scarica l'allegato" it open a report containing the 10 best performances in major competitions, other important results including the best career results.
We also have indicated the average of the 10 best performances in typical distances of each athlete.
Where possible, moreover the performances less than 10 first in the typical distances of each athlete, were also indicated.
Major changes compared to 2016.
They have been moved to the Hall of Fame: Elisa Rigaudo (Italian), Liu Hong, Susana Feitor (foreign).
Athletes involved in doping facts (Elmira Alembekova and Lyudmyla Olyanovska) remain in the in the relevant lists but are not part of this news.
In the course of 2017, no results were obtained by Anisiya Kirdyapkina (born Kornikova) (RUS), Raquel Gonzalez (ESP), Beatriz Pascual (ESP) and Maria José Poves (ESP), whose reports in the section Athletes->Foreigners->Female remain those of 2016.
Were added: Yang Jiayu (CHN), Laura Garcia-Caro (ESP), Maria Perez (ESP), Sandra Lorena Arenas (COL) e Kimberly Garcia (PER).
Updates will continue with men, and we hope, given the volume of data that will need to be reviewed, to bring them before the end of the year.
