Remarks:

Routing

It started with five laps on the Australia Stadium track . Then the stadium was left. The route headed north on Edwin Flack Avenue through a tunnel . Shortly before Olympic Boulevard , the route turned right and turned into Pondage Link , which connects Edwin Flack Avenue with Hill Road . From here began a T-shaped circuit two kilometers in length, which had to be completed eight times. This course led initially to the right into Hill Road . Shortly after the bridge over Haslams Creek there was a turn and it went back to the confluence of the Old Hill Link . Here we turned again with a small arch into the Pondage Link and the path led back to Hill Road . After completing the circuit, the route went back to the stadium, where the goal was reached, on the same route as on the way there.

Starting position

The favorites came from Russia, Poland, Ecuador and Mexico. Above all, the Russian world and European champion Ilya Markow, who had also won the silver medal four years earlier, started with great prospects. This also applied to his compatriot Roman Rasskasow, who had achieved a new world record in May of the Olympic season. The 1996 Olympic champion and vice world champion Jefferson Pérez from Ecuador, the Mexican World Cup third Daniel García and the 50 km Olympic champion from 1996 and at the same time reigning 50 km European champion Robert Korzeniowski from Poland were highly rated.

Course of competition

September 22, 2000, start at 12:50 p.m.

The walking field stayed together for the first few laps. At eight kilometers a leading group of eighteen participants had formed, which was ten seconds ahead of a field of pursuers. By sixteen kilometer the leading group had shrunk to four athletes after the pace had been increased significantly from fourteen kilometer. Korzeniowski and the Russian Vladimir Andreyev were now in charge. They were followed by the Mexicans Noé Hernández - two seconds back - and Segura - four seconds back. Pérez in fifth was already twelve seconds behind. Now it got faster again. With two kilometers to go, Korzeniowski was two seconds ahead of Hernández, with Andrejew and Segura another three seconds behind. Pérez couldn't keep up with the pace and fell behind. Shortly before the end, Segura was disqualified after his third warning for lack of ground contact. Robert Korzeniowski was able to extend his lead to four seconds and crossed the finish line with the new Olympic record of 1:18:59 h. He improved Jozef Pribilinec's previous record by almost a minute. Noé Hernández won the silver medal, Wladimir Andrejew 24 seconds behind him the bronze medal. Jefferson Pérez was fourth, 1:19 minutes behind the winner. The German Andreas Erm was six seconds behind in fifth place ahead of Roman Rasskasow from Russia.

Robert Korzeniowski, who won over 50 km in 1996 , was the first Polish Olympic champion and medalist in the 20 km walk .
