Are you guys as excited about the 50k walk as I am?

Race-walkers poop. Swimmers pee. Advantage: race-walkers.

A very good point.

The French guy quit when he was over a minute in the lead. Even when they are winning the French give up.

Cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

8/10 to the OP for LR clickbait, though.

if they're have walking in T and F, why not dog paddling in swimming? Makes as much sense?

The breast stroke might as well be a dog paddle. Just sayin'.

No different than the running races.

You need to go easy on the French. Their women have the thinnest waists of any European country by average.

I'm about as excited about it as I would be about standing in a queue for 2 hours. And actually I'd be more excited about the queue.

Queue. That's cute. From which British Commonwealth do you hail?

Oh boy.

That was the most exciting 50k racewalk I have ever…not seen.

Let this "poop incident doping sign" be a warning to all you kids of the dangerous side effects of doping.

It is a common sign of dopers…that I use for my personal "suspicious list"…which is now 1,874 pages long.

When I do my post-Olympic Suspicious List™ Update…it will be longer.

Oh well.

The usual classy Letsrun posters. No style at all. Let's just piss all over the race walkers like our swimmers urinated all over the bathroom walls. USA! USA! USA!

Alex will be back in the year 2024 to show everyone he can WIN CLEAN.

(I am sorry about that Renato. I guess Alex had weak mind disease.)

What a joke.

Hi rjm!

Can ANYONE justify race walking? Give me one reason this should even be a sport, let alone one in the Olympics.

If golf and baseball are in the Olympics, it's hard to criticize racewalking.
