Olympic Walking

[bibblebub]

Is there still the rule about having at least one foot on the ground at all time or don't they bother with details like that any more?

[sandyRoe]

Doesn't it become running when both are off the ground for a second or so?

[Maydup]

Yes that's the rule - some have been disqualified today for not having a foot down.

I don't know how they stop themselves from breaking into a run when accelerating.

[excelsior-1]

that, maidup, is the difficult part.
i see walking as the toughest sport.

[Anngel]

I know it is a genuine sport, and really hard, but I can't be the only one who thinks they look absolutely RIDICULOUS. My dad used to do walking as a sport but I still think this.

[bibblebub]

What's what I thought Sandy

and Maidup, whenever the slow motion is shown they clearly don't seem able to stop themselves

[bibblebub]

what what? that's what
