Race walking is about the most pathetic sport there is.
People can’t help but laugh at men who wiggle there arse in such a way. Today,
using a normal gait, I walked past a guy who was doing a slow race walk – he had all
of the wiggling, just none of the forward momentum. I thought he might be
humiliated by this but anyone who race walks obviously has a high humiliation
threshold.
It seems obvious that the Olympics should replace race walking with
hopping. There could be a straight-out endurance race where the person who hops
the longest distance without putting their foot down wins. There could also be
an extreme hopping event where competitors have to negotiate an obstacle course
without putting their foot down.
The athletes would be like Rodger Federer, just instead of having arms of unequal size, they would have one massive leg. I'd be impressed by the freakishness and the prospect of seeing people fall over always makes a sport far more watchable.
