AFTER turning in world class performances over 10k and 5k in previous weeks, Robert Heffernan transferred the form to the classic distance in Copenhagen on Saturday when he won the Scandinavian 20k race walking championship in 82 mins 24 secs to post the “A” standard for next year’s world championships.

ROBERT HEFFERNAN is back on the road and heralded his return by finishing third in a 10k race in Krakow at the weekend behind Ilya Markov (Russia), silver medallist in the Olympics in 1996, and the 2004 Olympic silver medallist, Francisco Fernandez (Spain).
