20 kilometres Race Walk, Men

Date23 September 1988 — 13:50
StatusOlympic
LocationOl-lim-pik Ju-gyeong-gi-jang, Seoul Sports Complex, Seoul
Participants53 from 28 countries

The course was flat and the day was not overly hot. The favorites were Jozef Pribilinec (TCH) who had won the 1986 European Championships, Maurizio Damilano, the 1987 World Champion and 1980 Olympic gold medalist in this race, and the GDR’s Ronald Weigel, although he was considered better at the longer distance. Eventually this group would win the medals. The finish was very close with Pribilinec and Weigel entering the stadium only a few metres apart, the Czechoslovak in the lead by five metres, but Weigel could never close the gap on the track.
