Ooh, I haven't seen any of that, been watching the TKD. Will take a look.

Oh for them to hand out a mass of reds at the finish,TV gold.

How very bizarre.

Always remember the Australian in Sydney getting disqualified on her way to gold entering the stadium

The 50 km mince
Larry Grayson'd p1$$ it. |

They look like they're trying to make it to the toilet before they have an accident.

sure it used to be just called the 50K walk. the fact they've felt the need to add race to the title tells you all you need to know. it hasn't worked btw

By:
It looks absolutely brutal.
People staggering around half-unconscious Others spreadeagled on the tarmac (about half an hour ago a guy with paramedics all around him frantically feeling his pulse. Hope he's OKay?) |

By:
When you see it in slow motion they look like they're running.
So is it really fast walking or is slow running? |
|
By:
This Russian in the lead is not touching the ground at times. Surely he must be disqualified?
|
|
By:
I bet over the finish line isn't going to be a pretty sight.
Plenty of medical staff needed |

Some of them do seem to be in a bad way.

The most ludicrous event of the entire Olympics bar none. Even horses prancing around to 'The Great Escape' has greater dignity, gravitas and credibility than this.
Even the 'Madison' Cycling Event must be SEETHING that this nonsense still prevails. |
|
By:
I found it ludicrous someone took performance-enhancing drugs to do this.
|

By:
Most of the field now being wheeled off in wheel chairs
|

By:
Requires no skill level whatsoever just need hips like a spastic. I'm not fooled by all the collapses they have to do something to get people to watch the crap
|
|
By:
slow running
|
|
By:
This is strange, who invented this event and why?
|
|
By:
If they can have the sprint starting blocks **** to record when runners lift early surely they can fit walkers shoes with something that fires a warning shot if both shoes are off the ground at the same time. And if the kit weighs 10 kg I'm not worried.

I wish I could remember the work that gave the "****". it wasn't rude, crude, or lewd.

Slow mo on Eurosport in women's 20k clearly shows the two leaders off the ground. What a joke.
btw the men went through the marathon distance during the 50k in 3h03 - that's a good time for a run! |

This is absurd.

china girl in second position definitely cheating!!

I could imagine you might end up needing hip replacement after doing too much of this.
It doesn't look like it's very good for you ![]() What do you think, Rick? |
|
By:
they're all running ffs
|

By:
that chick that got disqualified in Sydney was commentating the mens race for aussie tv and there was a close up shot of the mens legs in slow mo and they were off the ground and she said it's a good thing the judges can't see this footage during the race.
