NO RUNNINGNO JOGGINGWALKING ONLYBIRDSNEST STADIUMSeriously, the 20km walk competitors are the tourneyfags of athletics.
tourneyfags are better than walkingfags
if there is 1 fucking sport that needs to be kicked out of the olympics, it's this one.it's intensily gay
Who greenlighted this?
POWERWALKING IS FUCKING HARDCORE
Guys this shit seems pretty intense reading about it on Wikipedo>Stride length is reduced, so to achieve competitive speeds, racewalkers must attain cadence rates comparable to those achieved by Olympic 400-meter runners and they must do so for hours at a time since the Olympic distances are 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) and 50 kilometers (31 miles).
I can't stop laughing everytime i see this stuff. It's soo fucking gay lol
>>281515Fuck you I'm gonna train my ass off and win gold in this shit in 4 years.
>>281331The 20km guys are nothing, wait for the 50km.
>>281331I still can't believe that this is a fucking sport.
The neckbeards on this site could probably win gold in this shit.
I honestly hate these people. You have no idea how much this makes me rage.
>>281331Seriously, the 20km walk competitors are the tourneyfags of athletics.makes as much sense as those dozen other bullshit ways to swim that isn't the "go fast" one
>>281775This. Might as well create 100 METERS FREESTYLE RUNNING, 100 METERS RACEWALKING, 100 METERS BACKWARDS RUNNING, 100 METERS HOPPING LIKE A BUNNY.
>>281825100 METERS BACKWARDS RUNNINGNow we're fucking talking.
>>281852I second this. I would pay to see this.
>>281825I'd dig 100 meters hopping, but they'd axe it like they did the sack race
>>281825100 METERS HOPPING LIKE A BUNNY.They're saving that for the Special Olympics
>>281870>sack racethey actually had this?
>>281873yes. check wikipedo again
>>281873>Sack racing is a former olympic sport (1904, St. Louis).
>>281331The funniest is when they show the finish in slo-motion.
BUNNY HOP, BACKWARDS RUN, CRABWALK, FREESTYLE, SACKRACE, BACKWARDS BUNNY HOP, SIDEWAYS BACKWARDS CRABWALK, CARTWHEELINGBOLT WILL WIN THEM ALL
ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO WALK 200 METERS?
>>281775>makes as much sense as those dozen other bullshit ways to swim that isn't the "go fast" oneexcept the different strokes are, you know, actually fucking different. whereas clearly, running > walking
>>281899lol
>>281899i bet bolt win gold in that event.
>>281908But frontstroke is obviously the best but the others are atleast not entirely retarded and just examples for different approaches. It's like comparing wrestling and Taekwondo.The problem with racewalking isn't only that it's so incredibly inferior to running but also the fact that all break the rules and should be disqualified.
According to the IOC, walking is more of a sport than baseball.
>>281908except the different strokes are, you know, actually fucking different. whereas clearly, running > walkingbull fucking shitif you're being chased by a shark, there's only one way to swim
>>282003let's add crabwalk and bunnyhop to track thenit's a different approach y'know
Confirmed for 2016 Summer Olympics
>>282048As long as it isn't 20km or 50km.100m bunnyhop wouldn't be too bad.
I'm surprised this gets more hate than...say... synchronized swimming.
>>28207550km bunny hopis that even humanly possible?
>>282081Apparently 50km racewalk is, so why not bunnyhopping as well. It might take a day but it's not like someone would need those roads anyway.
>>282046yes but if you're 5 miles from the next island to rescue I'm sure as hell not going to freestyle all the way.
>>282081Don't know... but it'd be hilarious to watch people try
>>282091I'd love seeing someone drink some water while doing a bunny hop lol
>>282116i have tried duckwalk for 50m and it hurts badly.
>>282122duckwalk...is that like goose step?
>>282079here's why<-------former synchronized swimmer for canada
>>282079Synchro is awesome and beatiful. Racewalking looks retarded and is full of cheaters.Racewalking is the most hated olympic discipline on /sp/ followed by equestrian dressage. The trampoline and ping pong haters have hopefully been put to their places by watching the events.
>>282143I'd like to put my head between her bags of milk if you know what I mean.
>>282143remember when she was fucking and sucking for movie roles? those were the good ol' days.
I made jokes about hula hooping being the olympics...then I watched artistic gymnastics...
