THE
RACE WALKING ASSOCIATION
FOUNDED 1907
BEST PERFORMANCES
|
R.W.A. Best Performances are recognized
for outdoor track performances only and must be set during bona
fide competitions; however, if there is a performance on road
over 20k or 50k superior to the best track performance, it shall
be recognised in addition to the track performance and marked "r"
in the lists below. They cover many distances and times not recognized
for the purposes of national records. They may be set by any walker
qualified by nationality to represent GBR; unlike national records,
they may be achieved under R.W.A. judging rules (one judge may
disqualify). Any performance recognized as an English, British,
World or Commonwealth record can be recognized automatically as
a Best Performance. Performances in italics are awaiting
confirmation
or further information.
