O.K. if the bar moves but doesn't fall off it's a failure.

That really is just going to overcomplicate things, make everything take way longer because of a ton of protests ("I didn't touch the bar, it moved because of wind", "the bar didn't even move!") and so on. I really would just leave it the way it is now.

God help us . Not sure if many others would understand why I awake so early on my day off to watch a 50km walk from the start but at least there are one or two of our species in this world

 

It's not really a walk it's a modified run. you can't walk that fast without lifting.

The British Eurosport commentator Tim Hutchings was bemoaning the fact that more women have not taken on the mantle of going for the 50km walk as if it is their fault..... maybe if they hadn't just shoe-horned it in as an event a couple of weeks before the competition, more woman would have taken it on Tim!

The man who likes to talk in sentences backwards.... "he is a sub-10 second runner, is the Jamaican" for example

Maybe a stiffer pole which doesn't bend will solve it.
