Yeah; it doesn't look that great, no matter how perfectly innocent their actions are. It should really be just female coaches for the women.

Even the whole hugging the people you've just been competing against looks fake and insincere, why bother.

And Biles putting on a GOAT necklace on herself, jesus.

In my VERY limited knowledge of race walking, don't you have to have some part of your body (usually, the heel) in contact with the ground at all times?

 

[chesterbells]

Was he disqualified for both feet of the ground ?

I’m gonna guess not.
They virtually all do it every race mate. Absolute farce.

For sure Jim.
Otherwise, and I’m not trying to be funny here, it’s called running.

That's right. At least one part of either foot must be in contact with the ground at all times

Check this out....




Just about every one of them is doing the same thing.

I couldn’t agree more.

They’re very fortunate to have reached the last eight.

The swimming part of the triathlon isn't insane.
It was supposedly too polluted.

I pronounce Seine like sane.
I have heard 4 different commentators in a row pronounce it Sen, rhyming with ten.

Has anyone else noticed this?
