Saransk, coat of arms (1994)

Saransk, Mordovia, Coat of Arms, Image via Wikipedia

The Europeans awarded their first gold medal earlier this morning in the men’s 20k to Stanislav Emelyanov. Emelyanov, in only his third race, coached by the famous Viktor Chegin, negative splitted in the hot conditions, 40:14 for the first 10, 39:56 for the second. Considering that Chegin’s athletes, all from Saransk, won medals in all four walks in Berlin in 2009, any athlete, even Emelyanov, who was racing outside of Russia for the first time (this is his third career race as a walker!). The coat of arms to the right is that of Saransk, which is in Mordovia. It is the defacto race walking capital of the world! (Coat of Arms courtesy of Wikipedia).

recorded by Silvia Rieger in 1998
in the first round when only two rounds were contested.
Croatian Nikolina Horvat ran fastest non-qualifiying time 56.64 at Europan
Championships from heats.

RUSSIA: 20 km world champ Valeriy

Nicely done @d9monti !

David Monti @d9monti

Was just at the bank & only 2 tellers were working. The man behind me was double-parked and getting really agitated about waiting. When it was my turn I let the man go ahead of me. His mood ...changed on a dime; he kept thanking me

Moments later the teller waived my transaction fee
