Hahah, yeah I'm glad I'm not the only one less than impressed by the walkathon. I was bamboozled by the NBC coverage into switching to USA which was supposed to be running the javelin finals, but nope I got race walking.

As much as it sucked I actually left it on for awhile, even though the event lacked I found the commentary great :?

Yeah they were calling it like a 400 meter relay. And number 27 jusy pulled ahead! They're neck and neck now. The next few moments could be the turning point!

I was like yeah if somene disjoints a hip.

Yeah there are apparently all sorts of stupid rules. And they all walk in a manner that just screams hip dislocation, however from what i was seeing nobody pulled up lame... sigh

It's a VERY gay looking 'sport' that is if walking IS a sport, I would love to see these people when they turn 60, I wonder how many hip replacements they'll have. :D

They are always very skinny weedy looking men too, sort of Belsen like, 'in need of a good meal' as my mother would say. :lol:

You found it !
I forgot..
I was seriously thinking about possibly getting in shape and entering into this..
couldn't be that hard..

"hey Olympic comity .. I walk fast.. can I go to the Olympics?"

All the thinking about walking made me tired however...
then I realized.. my dreams of Olympic racewalking were never going to come true
:(

It's like watching a bunch of daily commuters that just arrived in the parking lot after being stuck in rush hour traffic and just ate a mcdonalds breakfast buritto and drank two large cappucchinos and theres no stairs just an elevator.
