- 10:00: 5.000m walk on women's track
10.000m track walk men
Six athletes at the start.
Jakub Jelonek immediately leads the race, covering the first 1,000m in 4:18.5, a fairly slow pace that should lead to a final result of around 43:00 minutes. Together with him Rafal Szikora and Artur Brzozowski
At 2.000m, Rafal Szikora the leader is in 8:36.32 (4:17.9)
But the next 1,000 sees a slowdown and is covered in 4:23.5. The passage now sees Artur Brzozowski leader who will no longer be reached.
His split times are as follows:
- 4.000m in 17:18.4 (4:18.7)
- 5.000m in 21:36.4 (4:18.0), while Jakub Jelonek has to deal with two red cards for unblocking the knee that the judges have placed next to his race number on the disqualification board.
- 6.000m Brozozowski passes in 25:54.20 (4:17.8) and the pace seems to have stabilized
- 7,000m Brozozowski smells the scent of victory and picks up the pace a little. He passes in 30:07.1 (4:13.0)
