The 52nd edition of Zahoracka Dwadka took place today in Borsky Mikulas, the oldest walking competition in the Slovak Republic now in its 52nd edition.
And just today Slovakia is crying, as we have already indicated in another news, one of its major interpreters of race walking of the second half of the last century: Pavol Szikora, who died at 69 after a long illness.
In addition to a whole series of races on shorter distances (1km, 2km, 3km) dedicated to young and very young both males and females and a 5km open to the Masters, the most important events of the day were those on the 10km distance.
