    They’re actually shifting and would beat most recreational park run runners

    Still stoopid.

    It's the butterfly of athletics.

    Nah. Defined sport with defined rules you play as hard as you can. Butterfly and race walking are both events where you're required to race slowly.

    Women's Beach Volleyball

    Egypt vs Spain.

    Take a guess as to the differences in uniforms.

    Slower of course but ridiculous to say slowly. Its certainly not easier. Ultimately they are in fact operating within defined rules and doing it as hard as they can.

    Tbf Olympic handball in no way whatsoever resembles school handball.

    Absolutely ridiculous. What next ? Combat sports where you can’t kick or grapple ?

    That was great. Pulled away in the third quarter and just had enough to hold on in the last 200m. If there was another 100m it might have been different.
