29/08/2020   Wloclawek (POL): Great result for Katarzyna Zdzieblo and victory for Dawid Tomala






 

 

 

The 96th Polish National Track Championships are being held in Wloclawek (POL).
 
The two walking events took place over the traditional distances of 10.000m track walk for men and 5.000m track walk for women.
 
 
5.000m track walk women
 
Most likely the victory of Katarzyna Zdzieblo (POL) was expected, a little less perhaps the performance.
Katarzyna Zdzieblo this year had made great progress in the short distance on the track going from personal best of 22:23.64 (obtained in Radom, POL on 24.8.2019) to the new personal best of 21:34.30.
This first performance under 22:00.00 was obtained in Spala (POL) last 2.8.2020.
 
Today on the track of the Osir Stadium in Wloclawek the strong Polish athlete has again lowered his personal best by a lot, bringing it to a more interesting 21:13.69 which currently represents the best seasonal world performance over distance (previous by Lyudmila Oyanovska, UKR in 21:17.82 established Lutsk, UKR on 15.8.2020).
