Someone give me ONE (1) good reason why the official youtube stream is not available IN EVERY F*CKING COUNTRY. WHY? Why can't I just tune in and watch the WORLD championship from ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD?

Race walking is such an exciting way to start off the meet.
It can be a fascinating exercise when you respect how athletic these monsters are walking at six minute mile pace which I would say most let’s run posters cannot even do when they run.
The leader from Japan, Ikeda, and his turnover rate is absolutely phenomenal - over 200 steps per minute. Second group, Bonfim, Linke, Korkmaz, Karlstrom, Gathimba, Partanen, Dunfee, Pintado, et Al. There’s going to be a great battle for the medals

Zhang of China is also in that following group and he has the fastest time in the world this year for 20 km walk with 1:17:38. The Japanese leader has perfect form absolutely spotless. Monster turnover. Around 15 walkers within a couple of seconds are in the following group some 15 seconds behind the leader. Tingay, OZ also in that group.

Except for the fact most of them are in the air half the time. Total joke of a 'sport'.

Because WA gets much more money from selling broadcasting rights than have a no-ad international stream.

The action has now switched to the track so I’ve lost the images to the 20 km walk but I believe the leader, Ikeda, went through 10 km in under 39 minutes.

100% Agree. All this geoblocking, VPN nonsense in ridiculous. And if I want to pay for access I should be able to from anywhere in the world.

Going by your statement most of the walkers should be disqualified for lifting but that is not the case so perhaps the fact that they walk so fast is an optical illusion to your eyes.

Female commentator was saying Japanese leader was on schedule for a WR. She also said trials using electronics to detect loss of contact are happening.

At the 57 minute mark in the 20 km walk the Japanese leader, Ikeda, has almost been caught by Martin the Spaniard, Bonfim, and Tingay (Australia).

So the sport dies together with the tv watching boomers? I can live with that.
