I thought the Chinese guy would do pretty well after his good start, but He has fallen back quite a lot.

I love how the traffic lights light up and work around the track, every camera shot on them shows logically green light

Is there as much discussion in your countries about race walking 'being ridiculous' and 'why is not every single athlete thrown out?' and 'why is this a sport if clearly everyone breaks the rules all the time' and so on?  

 

I mean, outside of European/world athletics championships and the Olympics of course nobody here watches a second of race walking, but during those events, it's the exact same discussion every time  

Yeah in  fans just do not respect it all, unlike beloved sports like big-snorkelling & cheese-rolling, yet in culturally close countries like  &  it’s up there with triple-jumping & ski aerials as a minority but perfectly legitimate way to represent the nation.
