Japanese race walkers have been achieving unprecedented success, occupying many of the higher positions in international rankings. Olympic race walking, contested over 50km and 20km for men, and 20km for women, is a grueling sport with strict rules on walking technique that result in frequent disqualification. Despite being an individual event, Japanese athletes are approaching the sport as a team, focusing on form, information sharing, and a well-organized support network during races. |
