For the third year in a row, the national championships did not include the selection of an international team (on this occasion, for the 2018 European Athletics Championships). This was due to the continuation Russia's ban from international athletics by the IAAF due to doping, which began in 2015. Three Russians, who competed at that competition as Authorised Neutral Athletes (Sergey Shubenkov, Anzhelika Sidorova and Danil Lysenko), chose not to compete at the national event, instead competing at the Herculis 2018 IAAF Diamond League meeting.[2]

Vladimir Nikitin won the men's 1500 metres in a championship record of 3:35.85. After the collapse of the USSR, only two people showed faster results at this distance: the country's record holder Vyacheslav Shabunin and Andrei Loginov.[3] Aleksandr Lesnoy improved his personal record to 21.58 m, bringing him to fourth among Russia's all-time men's shot putters.[4]

The 2012 Olympic champion Anna Chicherova returned from her doping ban but was beaten into second place by world-leader Mariya Lasitskene.[5]

Ekaterina Ivonina set a European-leading time of 9:16.68 to win the 3000 metres steeplechase. She led from start to finish and beat the silver medalist by 22 seconds.[6]

Several athletes extended their list of national honours: Dmitry Tarabin won the javelin for the sixth time in a row, while hurdler Konstantin Shabanov became a six-time champion in the 110 metres hurdles.

Racewalking

edit

The 2018 Russian Race Walking Championships was held June 9-10 in Cheboksary. The route was laid along the embankment of the Cheboksary Bay. The competition was attended by 59 athletes (33 men and 26 women) from 9 regions of the country. For the first time, a women's 50 km race took place at the Russian Championship, following the IAAF's international recognition of the event in 2016. The first champion and record holder of Russia was Klavdiya Afanasyeva.

The 19-year-old Sergey Shirobokov claimed the men's title over 20 km: his result (1:17:25) made him the fourth fastest ever in Russia and the ninth in the world among adults. Elena Lashmanova exceeded the 20 km world record time by almost a minute, 1:23:39 versus 1:24:38. Her time was a new national record, but was not ratified by the IAAF as a global one due to the disqualification of the national federation due to the doping scandal and, as a result, the lack of international judges at the race.[14][15][16]

100 km

edit

The 2018 Russian 100 km Championships was held on 9 September in Saint Petersburg. The competition took place on Krestovsky Island on a circular track 2.5 km long under comfortable weather conditions (cloudy, up to +20 degrees). A total of 33 athletes (21 men and 12 women) from 20 regions of the country took the start.

The main surprise of the men's race was the withdrawal of the current champion and record holder of Russia Vasily Larkin. From the start, he stepped forward along with Vsevolod Khudyakov, after the 30th kilometer he made a successful break-away attempt and at some point had an almost minute advantage. However, after the middle of the distance, the gap began to decrease: by 60 km, the leaders again caught up, and after the 75th km, Larkin stopped running altogether. After the main competitor had vanished, Khudyakov was 17 minutes ahead of the nearest pursuer, which was more than enough to maintain the first position and win the Russian championship in the 100 km run for the third time in his career.

Several favorites stopped the fight in the course of the race and in the women's race. The current champion of the country Alsou Asanova came down after 57 km, the world champion Marina Zhalybina ran a little more than 30 km. In the middle of the race, the leader was Olga Ukolova, the bronze medalist of the previous year's championship. At the beginning of the second half, she was ahead of Nadezhda Gogoleva and Dina Zakharchenko, who led the fight for the victory to the finish. At certain moments, Gogoleva's advantage reached almost two minutes, but by 85 km only 10 seconds remained. Zakharchenko closely approached the leader, but she did not have the strength for the final segment. Nadezhda Gogoleva became the champion of Russia for the second time in her career, Dina Zakharchenko won the silver medal, losing by less than a minute. For the second year in a row, Nadezhda Shikhanova reached the national podium in both supermarathon disciplines, 24 hours and 100 km.
