The '''50 kilometre race walk''' is an [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] [[athletics (sport)|athletics]] event. The [[racewalking]] event is competed as a road race. Athletes must always keep in contact with the ground and the supporting leg must remain straight until the raised leg passes it. Fifty kilometres is approximately 31 miles.
The '''50 kilometre race walk'''<ref>{{Cite web|title=50 Kilometres Race Walk|url=https://www.worldathletics.org/disciplines/race-walks/50-kilometres-race-walk|access-date=2020-09-07|website=www.worldathletics.org|language=en}}</ref> was an [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] [[athletics (sport)|athletics]] event that first appeared in [[1932 Summer Olympics|1932]] and made its final Olympic appearance in [[2020 Summer Olympics|2021]]. The [[racewalking]] event is competed as a road race. Athletes must always keep in contact with the ground and the supporting leg must remain straight until the raised leg passes it.

50 kilometres is approximately 31 miles.

The 50 kilometres race walk was dropped from the Olympic program after the 2020 Tokyo Games in 2021 and was replaced by a mixed team race, the [[marathon race walk mixed relay]] in order to achieve gender equality.{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}

50 kilometre race walk
Men's racewalk. Walker at right appears to be illegal in that both feet are off the ground, but an infraction is only committed when loss of contact is visible to the human eye.[1]
World records
MenFrance Yohann Diniz 3:32:33 (2014)
WomenChina Liu Hong 3:59:15 (2019)
Olympic records
MenAustralia Jared Tallent 3:36:53 (2012)
Yohann Diniz, world record holder

The 50 kilometre race walk[2] was an Olympic athletics event that first appeared in 1932 and made its final Olympic appearance in 2021. The racewalking event is competed as a road race. Athletes must always keep in contact with the ground and the supporting leg must remain straight until the raised leg passes it.

50 kilometres is approximately 31 miles.

The 50 kilometres race walk was dropped from the Olympic program after the 2020 Tokyo Games in 2021 and was replaced by a mixed team race, the marathon race walk mixed relay in order to achieve gender equality.[citation needed]

World records

The men's world record for the 50 km race walk was held by Denis Nizhegorodov, through his race of 3:34:14 in Cheboksary in 2008, until it was beaten by Yohann Diniz at the 2014 European Athletics Championships in Zurich, in a time of 3:32:33.
