re: Teddy Poulos

Holy shit, the WR is 38 minutes? That's impressive, but race walking is still stupid.

LOL. Yeah he had great leg turnover-shuffle speed towards the end there.

re: AdamLocked

if the wr is 38 min and these guys who are the best in the country were 9 minutes behind is it that the wr is way fast or that american RWers are way slow.

About the WJR holder Burayev::

Viktor stunned the walking world earlier this year by setting a junior world best performance for the 10,000m walk with 38:46.4 on the 20 May in Moscow. The previous mark had stood since 1981 and was established by Germany’s Ralf Kowalsky. It is also worth mentioning that Burayev, making his international debut, was the 5000m walk silver medallist of the 1998 World Youth Games in Moscow’s Luzhniki stadium.

"Why doesn't he just run?"

"Then he wouldn't be race-walking."

Classic.

re: jester

my favorite quote about race walking is as follows:

"racewalking is like a contest to see who can whisper the loudest."

the best though was when T&F News had racewalker on their cover and both of the guys feet were off the ground. yeah, yeah, yeah, i know, they are allowed three infractions...whatever.
