Gonzales tops the rankings for the sixth time in a rolf. He decisively beat many other contenders !fith two fast times in the Mixhuca and Bergen races, the latter on the track, and took Salonen in another race, His failure to finish one race and a loss to his countryman in what may have been a rather relaxed race for hilll detract little from this record. Gomez lost only to other Mexicans, beat Salone.n in Mixhuca and Gonzales in Havana. , ,Salonen's decisive win in the European Championships and good race at the Mexican walking week are good enough for third ••• Marin sewed up the next spot with his European second and fast time in his national championships •• • Weigel an-1 Meisch did not do well in the big race rut t.raded wins over good fielda in two fast races • •• Canto had only the one race, rut it was fast and saw him well clear of Gomez ••• Gustaffson has two good races to support his European third place ••• Udovenko had a super race in Mexico and then was never heard from again •• • Gauder, disqualified in the prestigious NaUJ1barg race, showed hi~ stuff in his national championships and then walked securel y in th& European title aeet.

Very close for first , with the nod to Deverinskaya'n world record. Her poor finish in the World Championship's is discou1ted by the fact that she had won the 10 Km earlier in the day. , • Cook and Pierson both have a tremendous series of fast times and split four races, but Sue has the World title {a aeet Pierson could not attend) and a slightly better slate , •. Jansson, who walked the 10 at the World meet, lost only to Deverinskaya and has an impressive set of times, though not matching the Australian gi~ls, She beat Crustyeva in Bergen, •• Crustyeva had an early season win over Deverinskaya and was second to Cook at the World meet for a solid fifth. , .Sharapova has three good races, losing only to C0ok and Crustyeva, • • The next three a.re rated vruiarily off their finishes in the World Chaapionship race and generally impressive records, •• Last place ie again a tossup. Busan Lun:s-Westerfield and Norway'e Mia KJolberg are close, Vera Osipova finished ahead of Yarut­kina at Tjerka.ssy in a very taat 22 iS, .6, but that is the only xsce we have record of for her.

As in the 5, the winner of the World title does not emerge on top. Cook, who competed in the 5 there, had two world record performances on the track and then a super-fast road time, • ,Pilrrsbn had just one race, but it was nearly as fast as Cook, •• Deverinskaya and Jansson clearly get the next two spots with their 1-2 World finish and go~ supporting races, • .• Three ladies the Soviets didn't even send to the World meet take the next three · spots off single very quick races • • • Coad argwnetns could be made for about any order among the next three, but we give Liers .•,llssterfield the nod off her Jrd in the World Championships, although the other two, who com_peted in the 5 there, were faster.

It was less than 16 months ago that Centurion Rich had his leg shattered when his motorcycle was hit by a truck. The steel plate was removed in March, but several weeke late r it was found that the leg was broken aga in. and it was back to the full leg cast. That came off in July and by the end of September he was l<alking with?ut crutches. This marked his first race.
