  • Entry lists for the European Race Walking Cup Poděbrady 2017 available

The final entry lists for the European Race Walking Cup Poděbrady 2017 on Sunday 21 May are now available on the European Athletics website.

226 athletes representing 26 European Athletics Member Federations (and including two Authorized Neutral Athletes) have been entered for the event in the historic Czech Republic spa town.

Among the notable names entered are men’s 20km defending champion Miguel Angel Lopez. However, the Spaniard faces a rematch of the 2015 race as Slovakia’s Rio 2016 Olympic Games 50km race walk gold medallist Matej Toth, second two years ago and the 20km winner in 2011, has decided to contest the shorter distance once again.

Germany's Christopher Linke and Great Britain's Tom Bosworth, the leading Europeans at this distance in Rio when they finished in fifth and sixth place respectively, are also among the entries for the men's 20km.

The women’s 20km should be a closely-fought affair as nearly all of Europe’s top race walkers will be on the start line including Italy’s Antonella Palmisano, Portugal’s Ana Cabecinha and Ines Henriques as well as Spain’s Julia Takacs.

The complete lists are available to download as a PDF file in the RELATED DOCUMENTS section on the right-hand side of this page.
