Features: The Olympic race walking event has undergone significant changes and has even faced temporary interruptions due to judging issues. Race walking is a form of running, and to keep it within strict boundaries, it places higher demands on referees. Therefore, coaches and athletes must study how to effectively and quickly combine large strides with speed, continuously striving for improvement. This book summarizes the author's observations during the intensive coaching period before the Tokyo Olympics, when they traveled to Europe, as well as their own experience in training athletes. Subsequently, as an international referee, they participated in numerous major international competitions and received direct guidance from Mr. Hideo Waidler (UK), the winner of the 50 km race at the Berlin Olympics, and Mr. Paul R?ling (Denmark), the president of the International Race Walking Committee. The author has compiled these oral records into this book.
