Dudince see third-fastest 50km race walk in history

Victory and a national record went to the home hero Matej Tóth of Slovakia at the 34^th edition of Dudinská 50, an IAAF Race Walking Challenge meeting on Saturday, 21 March. 32-year-old silver medallist from Zürich, Tóth crossed the finish line in this year's world-leading 3.34:38, the third-fastest time in history, also conquering the meeting record and his own national record. Only world record-holder Yohann Diniz (3:32:33) and Russia's Denis Nizhegorodov (3:34:14) have ever gone quicker.
