Week end of race walk also in Kenya where the Commonwealth Games Trials took place on Saturday 17 February.

A 20km that ends with a minimum gap on arrival with the two athletes divided by only 2 seconds and with an excellent result.
Victory to Samuel Kireri Gathimba (KEN) in 1:19:04 (new personal best, previous of 1:19:24 obtained in Durban, RSA on June 26, 2016).
Second place to Simon Murithi Wachira (KEN) in 1:19:06

It seems almost incredible, but at this time of the 2018 season the world list of the first twenty athletes is the following, with only two European athletes
