    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

    He probably was gassed but it looked to me like he finally got boxed.
    Man you have to be skilled at positioning or you are always fighting

    Much more aggression. I'm trying not to sound like a homer. I don't know how TKD stays in
