Overview by IAAF |
|
|
Reigning champion Peter Frenkel led his teammates, the three Mexicans and Golubnichiy at 5Km, but first the old master, Golubnichiy, then Raúl González (MEX) began to fall back. The group of five had diminished to three by 15Km, with Frenkel still leading – from Reimann and the favourite Bautista. With 3Km to go the Mexican accelerated, and was over half a minute up by the finish. His last 5Km of 20:56 had been his quickest of the race. |

Summary by Sports-reference.com |
|
|
|
Vladimir Golubnichy was back and had been European Champion in 1974. But the favorites were the three East Germans, Peter Frenkel, Hans-Georg Reimann, and Karl-Heinz Stadtmüller, 1975 Lugano Trophy champion. The GDR walkers went out as a team in the lead. But they could not drop Mexico’s Daniel Bautista. He had produced some top times early in the year but his only major international championships had been the 1975 Pan-American Games gold medal. At 17 km. Bautista put the hammer down and dropped the East German trio, eventually winning by over a minute. This was the first gold medal won by a Mexican athlete. Vladimir Golubnichy, who had won four consecutive medals in the event from 1960-72, placed seventh in his fifth Olympics. |
