Anyone else noticed that athlete passed out on the curb and the medics frantically waving for assistance?

If IAAF allowed other countries to co-host the race walking events/marathons in a separate tournament everything would be fine, there were some countres wanting to do it

Fair, but they may lose some prestige...

These happen when money in no1 factor for host selection.. 

Yes, but when less and less countries are willing to host events, this is what we get. No offense, but Greece currently can’t host any event of this standard...

Same goes for a lot of Europe and the West because it’s become unpopular to host such things

All in all, this was a big fail from IAAF

 

3 AM local time. this is insane

One could argue that the best walker in the world will win though, or at the most versatile.

TOP10 in marathon was qualifiyed, but I don't know if today also in race walking qualifies too.....

No, I looked it up. No one qualifies here

Just now, Jur said:

A TOP10 here is Olympic Qualification?

I would assume so since the marathon was, but I’m not certain...

[Olympian1010 7,634]

This race is so not interesting, which sucks because I really wanted to enjoy it 

[Olympian1010 7,634]

This isn’t looking good for a lot of people. If we don’t get at least 15-20 DNFs I’ll be shocked.

So it's not a publicity stunt? I want my money back.

You don’t remember the no refund clause you signed when you signed up for Totallympics?

Yeah, Suzuki's aren't known for top speed at the end. You want a Ducati for that.

But Subaru, Toyota, and Honda are known for their durability 

[Olympian1010 7,634]

So some stats for y’all:

• 7 women raced the 50km in 2017 (due to late announcement it had been added to the program)
• 23 women stated the race today, including the defending champion from
• 24 women were supposed to start, but  did not start
• The qualification standard for the women was 4:30.00, so get comfortable
• 46 men started the race today
• Both the defending champion and Olympic champion are in the men’s race
