Sandro Damilano has finished updating the 2019 most representing male athletes in the world included with the most up-to-date technical reports (we remember that last season unfortunately due to lack of time this update had been done only for men).
The section dedicated to Foreign Athletes (men) was updated at Dec. 31, 2019.
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.
For two athletes, Liu Hong and Qieyang Shenjie, all the results (with split times) of the races in which they have participated since they are under the technical guidance of Sandro Damilano have also been indicated, thus completing an interesting statistical journey.
The updating work is quite long, and so we decided that starting this year we will publish the results by dividing them by Area or by Area Groups.
The following table summarizes the athletes of Asia and Consudatle (South-America):
| Area | Nazion | Number of athletes |
