Mexican Walkers Target Paris 2024
Mexico's walking dominance continues! Athletes target Olympic spots as the legendary Mexican walk returns to the world stage.
The Mexican walk. It's got swagger. It's got an attitude. It's got medals, a whole bunch of them if recent World Championship history is any indication. And guess what? It's baaaack. After a brief hiatus from Olympic competition, the Mexican walk is returning to the world's biggest stage, and the nation's athletes are already strutting their stuff on the road to Paris 2024.
This past Saturday, in the quaint Slovakian town of Dudince, a entire crew of Mexican walkers turned heads at the 43rd edition of the “Dudinska 50”. Leading the way were U-20 world champion Sofía Elizabeth Ramos Rodríguez and Tokyo 2020 Olympian Ilse Ariadna Guerrero Rodarte. These two are on a mission – to absolutely smash the 1:29:20 time needed to qualify for the women's 20-kilometer walk in Paris.
