Men's 20km Race Walk?

LOL I had no idea it was a real sport.

Quote :

Athletes must always keep in contact with the ground and the supporting leg must remain straight until the raised leg passes it.

LOL, very true. But I never thought who can walk the fastest without jogging could earn you an Olympic medal. I was just reading the Olympic schedule and stumbled on that.

This has to be entertaining to watch. I'm going to have to find a way to see them shuffle on down the street. But I must be fully baked to appreciate.

Yep, still, I'd wager these walkers could finish that 20km faster than me, even if I was jogging it.

It's kind of crazy watching Hal turn into Walter White. Just like it was weird watching Peggy turn into Gemma.

Watched one of the walking events and a guy who was in 2nd place not far from the finish line collapses. Looked pretty close to death. Had to be carted off.

Now I was hoping he was OK, but considering the circumstances I found it rather humorus.

Lol I'd laugh...
