ELITE ATHLETES CLUB

Elite athletes exist — even before the sport is fully developed in the U.S. Competitive Nordic Walking is still emerging in the United States. Yet international-level athletes already represent the country on the world stage.

Membership is intentionally limited and based on verified international achievements.

A Young Sport. Proven International Results.

Nordic Walking in the U.S. is still in its early development stage. However, international-level performance has already been achieved.

The Elite Athletes Club documents athletes whose results meet the highest international standards — and sets a clear reference point for credibility, judging, and competitive growth nationwide.

What This Proves

  • Credibility: world-level medals exist within the U.S. athlete pool.
  • Leadership: NWANA is building the sport from the top down.
  • Standards: technique and judging can align to a real benchmark.
  • Growth: elite presence accelerates events, clubs, and regional markets.
