Callum Wilkinson recently described race walking as “an art form”, so where better for him to demonstrate the intricacies of his craft than on an Olympic course in Paris 🇫🇷

The last three years of @CWilko97's life rested on 40 minutes on an athletics track in Manchester. He rose to the task and set a new British record in the 10,000m race walk to all but confirm his place in Paris - following a year of injuries 👇
