@williethewaiter This is a very popular race in the Netherlands, and they're very good at it. There's a similar type of race in ice speedskating, and they dominate there as well.

Race walking has to be one of the dumbest-looking, most useless olympics sports there are. I'm not denying the participants' athleticism or anything, but why would anyone do that and why is this rewarded with medals?
Just look at ribbons

Weird, why did the Dutchman go out early? It looked on purpose.
Is that because he had plenty of points already?
you just eventually blow up in that race due to the stop start nature. what happened to Stewart..
that should be his stronest race - pretty fair reflection of wher he's at -

Man you have to be skilled at positioning or you are always fighting
