The highest level Racewalking competitions occurs at the World Athletics Championships (formerly IAAF World Championships in Athletics and at the Summer Olympics , although the sport also has its own separate major competition – the IAAF World Race Walking Cup – which has been held since 1961.

History of IAAF World Race Walking Cup

The World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships is a racewalking event organized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). It has been held since 1961, and generally on a biennial basis. Women first entered the 1979 edition. It was formerly known as the Lugano Cup after the city that hosted the first event, then became the IAAF World Race Walking Cup until 2016 and than IAAF World Race Walking Team Championships until 2018. In 2004, a junior division was added, consisting of men and women aged under 20. Since 2008 it has been a constituent meeting of the IAAF Race Walking Challenge.

From 1975 to 1997 was awarded Lugano Trophy for combined team (20K + 50K). Since 1993 the medals have been awarded for the single events of the 20K and 50K teams, therefore in the 1993, 1995 and 1997 editions three team medals were assigned, from 1999 the combined was abolished and the team medals remained two until the present day.

Seems to be a moving target as to what this event is called, is known by, has been known by... Basically it's a team event and they used give give a cup away —The Lugano Cup. That's my take.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books!Peter Rhee

Aloha, Curt, All I can say is WOW! What you have accomplished is simply incredible! All the bestGlen Hirabayashi, The Aloha Boys
