Poděbrady tradition: from the cradle of the current athletics to Czech worldliness

The history of race walking associated with Poděbrady dates back to the nineteenth century. However, a long tradition does not linger at present, to the contrary. Its freshness is demonstrated by at least these outstanding events: in 1997 the Czech Athletics celebrated one hundred years with a successful World Cup, and in 2017 the elite from all over Europe met here at a similar event during the 120th anniversary of the local "queen of sports". In 2021 and 2023 the top athletes gathered at European Championship with the new world record at 35 track by María Peréz.
