The IAAF World Cup of Walking is a biennial road race competition between nations that has been held under different names and with varying formats since 1961. Men compete in the 20Km and 50Km events and women now compete in the 20Km, although in 1987 the event was 10Km. The winner of the Cup is determined by a complicated scoring system based on the top 3 finishers of the 5 participants allowed from each country in each event.

The 1987 World Cup was held May 2 and 3, 1987 in New York City's Central Park. The Men's 50Km event featured many of the top walkers of the 1980's and early 1990's including Olympic medalists past and future Ronald Weigel (#89), Hartwig Gauder (#88), Vyacheslav Ivanenko (#215), Bo Gustafsson (#153) and Andrey Perlov (#218). The dominance of Eastern bloc countries was evident as all but two of the top three finishers in each event came from East Germany or Russia.

in seoul 88 olympic games, in the last meters of the 50 km walk was first Ivanenko from USSR but few meters before the end he decided to wait the second runner, Weigel from Germany. Ivanenko took his arm on shoulder Weigel that did the same, after they past together the finishing line.
