In 2024, the World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships will take place on a 2km looping course near the Antalya Expo Centre. The start and finish lines will be located in front of the Expo 2016 Botanical Park. Several Indian athletes have already met the Paris Olympics qualifying standard in the men’s and women’s 20km race walk, including Akshdeep Singh, Vikash Singh, Paramjeet Singh, Suraj Panwar, Servin Sebastian, Arshpreet Singh, and Priyanka Goswami.
These athletes will be in action at the championships, with Suraj Panwar, Ram Baboo, Vikash Singh, Servin Sebastian, and Arshpreet Singh competing in the men’s team 20km race walk, and Manju Rani, Payal, Pooja Kumawat, Mokavi Muthurathinam, and Ramandeep Kaur competing in the women’s 20km race walk. The event will also provide an opportunity for more Indian athletes to meet the Olympic entry standards in the 20km races.
