3.3.2018: Huangshan (CHN) - Grand Prix
10.3.2018: Sucua (ECU) - South American race walking championships

So many opportunities to make good results and in choosing the best athlete of the month, Marcia dal Mondo has proceeded as follows:
 
 
Men category

 

In this case we took into consideration the following performances

 

 

Date Event Venue Distance Athlete Result
           
3.3.2018 Chinese Grand Prix Huangshan 20km WANG Kaihua 1:19:45
3.3.2018 Chinese Grand Prix Huangshan 35km HAN Jijiang  2:33:11
11.3.2018 15° memorial Mario Albisetti Lugano 20km IKEDA Kouki 1:21:26
24.3.2018 Dudinska 50 Dudince 50km TOTH Matej 3:42:46
24.3.2018 Dudinska 50 Dudince 50km PARTANEN Veli-Matti 3:44:43

 

 

Using the same system last month we determined the best performance in March.
 

 

 


Pos. Athlete Result Score points
       
1. TOTH Matej 3:42:46 1.206
2. WANG Kaihua 1:19:45 1.196
3. PARTANEN Veli-Matti 3:44:43 1.194
4. HAN Jijiang 2:33:11 1.162
5. IKEDA Kouki 1:21:26 1.160

 

 

This month there is no question of the gap between the first two performances: ten points are equivalent in the 50km to 1:39 (which means that Toth would have won his race in Dudince also in 3:44:29 and would still remain the best athlete of the month).

On the other hand, Wang Kaihua to get a better result than Matej Toth would have needed a time of at least 29 "faster in the Huangshan race (1.19: 16).

 

 
Similar reflexions can be made for the place of honor.
Veli-Matti Partanen to get a better score than Wang Kaihua would have to finish the race in Dudince in 3:44:40 (-23").
Wang Kaihua to get a worse score than Veli-Matti Partanen would have had to finish the race in  Huangshan in 1:19:49 (+4").
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Women category

 

In this case we took into consideration the following performances

24.3.2018 Dudinska 50 Dudince 20km ARENAS Sandra Lorena 1:28:48

 

 

In terms of scoring the results are as follows:

1. QIEYANG Shenjie 1:27:36 1.180
2. YANG Jiayu 1:27:36 1.180
3. ARENAS Sandra Lorena 1:28:48 1.158
 
 
 
It is clear that the choice of athlete of the month should be made on Qieyang Shenjie who won the race in Huangshan.
