New twist! With 45:57 pace for 25 km, we are looking to smash Diniz's WR by around 2 hours!

 

You, on the other hand, are certainly not fast enough to break any record

This walking is for me one of the most stupid sports ever 

would be good chance for IAAF to reduce number of athletes at olympics

Great that the legend in the race walking live timing says so much about the meaning of ~ and >

Erent is 19 seconds up on his NR at 10 km. Renić almost a minute. Hopefully NRs will be broken.

Don't touch the race walking  It's the most technical discipline of the all athletics schedule, i really like it

Throwing events would be a better place to reduce something. Why throw a shot, a shot with a chain attached to it, a discus and a javelin?  

 

Or triple jump, what's the meaning of looking at who is the best at combining a skip, hop and jump?

And, in case of the 50km, by far the most heroic event. Even the marathon doesn't have this kind of going to the absolute limits of the human body, at least by the looks of it.

That's nothing compared to pole vault.
