History of IAAF World Race Walking Cup

(From the Official La Coruña IAAF World Race Walking Cup web site) - The men's competition (Lugano Trophy) was first held in 1961. A women's competition (Eschborn Cup) was introduced in 1979, although an unofficial women's match was first held in 1975. Up to 1985 a semi-final round was held, however since then the event has been held as a straight final. An official separate team competition for the two men's distances was introduced in 1993 and the men's overall competition discontinued after 1997. From 1999 team scores were calculated by aggregating the positions of the first 3 finishers from a maximum of 5 competitors. Prior to this date team scores were calculated by aggregating the points (based on position in race) awarded to the first 3 finishers. Junior events were first held in 2004 with team scores calculated by aggregating the positions of the first 2 finishers from a maximum of 3 competitors.

Thanks for visiting and checking out my site!

Content is always being added and updated. So check-in often. Thanks, Curt

P.S. You may think from the look of it that Curt Sheller Publications is a slick, profitable business, but it's actually not (maybe a car payment a month, cheap car). I spend a lot and time money creating the content, lessons and books for this site (a labor of love), so if you dig my content and want to see more of it. I could use your help by spreading the word and maybe buying a book or two if you haven't already, to help defray the cost of running the site. Thanks in advance for your help. This is a labor of love and I'd do it even if I didn't make a lot of money, hey I don't!

You can also make a donation to the lesson-site fund. Button in the sidebar of the site.

If I'm not teaching, I'm working on this site and new lessons, books and goodies.
