All about ‘race-walking’ and ‘leapfrogging’

Colin Plen

So, although your paper was issued on July 17, we have only sat down to read it in Izinga on the 21st.

In your column headed “Around the Jewish World” you have told about Jemima Montag who is a “top-ranked female race-walker”. Further, she recorded a sizzling 22 minute 4,29 second effort at the Australian youth team’s camp.
But, you say, she leapfrogged her way to this amazing speed. I am not a racist, knowing nothing about racing at all, but I would suggest that she was supposed to “walk” in this race and by leapfrogging she has obviously cheated.
