This is 2 times around the track. Runners start in individual lanes no starting blocks but converge into 1 lane after m and fight for the front position. Middle distances are fun to watch because the runners draft off each other, weave in and out and jockey for position.
The last meters is especially exciting to watch. There is no meter event or mile event in the Olympics. Why is that? Sometimes classified as a long distance event, this is where 7. Runners of the standard course face a total of 7 water jumps and 28 hurdling jumps. The obstacles are 36 inches high for the men and 30 inches for the women. The water jump is a barrier followed by a pit of water 12 feet long. At its deepest point, the slope goes down to a depth of mm 28 inches.

The 50km race walk came to an end in Olympics as soon as Claudio Villanueva, the 47th and the last man to touch the finish line, completed the race. That means Poland's Dawid Tomala is the last gold medallist in the men's 50 km race walk at Olympics. Great Britain's Tommy Green was the first in , when the event was first introduced in Games.

One of the primary reasons given by World Athletics and International Olympic Committee is that they want to bring more gender equality in athletics and the 50km race walk does not fit into the new system.
The 50km is the only race that has no equivalent for women while there is a women's 20k race walk event in Olympics. However, there is more to cancellation of the 50km, and it has to do with popularity and declining number of viewers which is bad for the market and eventually for the sport to sustain on road.
World Athletics president Sebastian Coe, as per Race Running Magazine, in had defended the move to drop 50 km walk after the Race Walking commitee found that short distances will be more marketable to new audience. The elite 50 km race walkers are not buying this idea, questioning the move and also upset over how they were never commnunicated before taking the decision.
Canada's Evan Dunfee who clinched bronze medal at the Tokyo 50km race walk is quite outspoken on the issue.
