Our journey into the world of the African race walk continues.
The contacts established, which we sincerely thank, have allowed us to highlight what has long been our main goal: to introduce our readers to that part of the World that is trying to emerge even in a very technical specialty such as walking.
Unfortunately, the difficulties in obtaining results and, sometimes, photographs are significant, so we apologize in advance to our readers for news that is not exactly up-to-date, but relating to about ten previous days.
