I just felt like runninggg.....

“NO RUNNING OR FAST WALKING IN THE HALLS”

So gei

Having a fastest walking race is like having a loudest whispering contest
lol, exactly
This game is ridiculous.
+Karl Popper like to see you be able to even walk the distance
or like being the world's tallest midget
IKR HAHAH
Am I the only one who finds this mildly frustrating to watch?
They're so close to running but not quite 😫
No, I'm with you. Just run, idiots. This is a First World sport. This is for people who suck at actual sports.
Mr. Interesting who are you to define what a “real sport” is?
it must be so tempting to run lol
Mr. Interesting you try finishing a mile in 7 minutes walking
No need to get aggressive guys. This goes for the second comment as well.
"You were an Olympian? "
"Yes."
"Which sport? "
"Hey, what's that over there?"
haha why this no have more likes
My brother in law was an Olympic race walker and .... I fell asleep thinking about it.
ROFL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's a movie called walk don't run and it's this exactly 😂
Me who has been doing this since I was 4: **ametuers**
my uncle did race walking in high school and college. he thought it would be an easy extracurricular but he got *super* into it and did so well he got accepted to stanford on a race walking scholarship
Lucy WOW!
r/thathappened
Seriously?
A Bumble Bee Pillow Pet are you dumb... in college race walking is considered a track and field event, there are much shorter events (3k..) just like there is no college marathon. And it would be valuable to a coach if a runner was consistently top 3 bringing in lots of points for the team.
@@longxgun3448 tell you what, if you find an article saying that you can get a scholarship for race walking AT stanford, you will earn my respect and i will make an edit saying i was wrong
these people can walk a faster mile than i can run.
That's sad I'm sorry
Same
What's your PR? With good exercise you can easily (well unless you are really old or disabled) get down to a sub 6 mile.
Jon Smith average marathon runner is around 5 minutes per mile so sub 6 is shooting a bit too high for us average folk. I'd be surprised if most joggers achieve anything below 7-8 minutes per mile, and imo that's a pretty good pace.
Jeury Veloz Eh I did crosscountry and track in high school and college and have worked with people as an athletic shoe salesperson. If you are average athletically or maybe even just above average I believe you can do a sub 6 (or something around 6:10). It won't be fun but it's doable. We aren't talking a marathon of sub 6 miles, just 1.
And for Marathons that makes sense, you're running a marathon, train those guys to run a 5k or 10k and their mile splits will be very different.

I’ve actually done race walk races and it’s extremely hard. I go to William Penn University and I’m on the track team here and since we’re are in the NAIA instead of the NCAA, race walking is an actual event. I did the 3k racewalk at my conference championship for indoor season and finished 9th in the conference. The training absolutely destroys your shins and after about 250m of the race you feel a constant burn up your legs. The training is just like any other distance runner besides you walk instead of run. I did 800m repeats walking, 200m intervals, it’s very similar. The worst part is the judges. I got to two fouls during the championships and it’s extremely scary knowing if I plant my leg wrong and buckle at the knee or push off to hard and lift off the ground for a fraction of a second near a judge, it could all be for nothing. It’s an awesome sport that looks goofy but people should definitely look into
Randy Cottle try. Traffic

Don't walk too fast though, or they won't count ;)
+samaway unless you can walk at 25mph you'll be fine.
+Sami Shamroukh I would play the actual game as it is much more better.
better to do it in a marathon
It's funny because people make fun of race-walkers, but most couldn't even run as fast as these people walk.
+Hanh, friendo, i'm not entirely sure you understand this: that's a seven minute mile pace over 50 kilometers. Do you honestly think the majority of people could run at and keep a _7-minute mile pace over 31 miles?_ As is, i'm fairly skeptical that the majority of people could make a 7 minute mile period.
No, I'm not joking at all. What Carlton said is exactly right. A 7 minute mile is difficult for most people to do once, let alone keep up for 50 km.
+tehmightymo I have a 5 minute mike
I probably couldn't prance about like a lunatic in a swimming pool for ten minutes without getting some water in my lung either, that doesn't validate synchronised swimming. My point is that just because something is hard to do, that doesn't mean it should be a serious sport.
John Smith
What exactly validates something as a "serious sport" in your opinion?
Just imagine bragging to your friends that you walk the fastest then having to explain what you mean
Yeah, imagine telling anyone that you are taking over three and a half steps... every second! In a race that takes 3 hours and 30 minutes to complete. Man, my beer arm is dead just thinking about it. That's 12,600 steps or so. Over 31 plus miles. "Racewalking requires the strength and agility of a gymnast, the grace and control of a dancer, the endurance and perseverance of a Marathon runner." ~ Larry Young, two-time Olympic Games Medalist, 50km Walk, USA. Also a world class Bronze Sculpture Artist.
Larry ended that observation by saying: "In the light of this, no race walker should ever feel inferior to other athletes." @@libradragon
Absolutely. I know I have never felt inferior. Larry trained hard and his results illustrate his dedication. He's also a very humble human. Thank you for your comment in this thread. @@StuC5
As a track Athlete, race-walking is probably the most anticipated event during a meet, our whole team will stay an extra 20 mins just to see it😂

It looks silly, but you totally realize how much skill it takes when you try to match them.
It's like trying to walk while they run.
So true
anything will become tougher if you invent stupid restrictive rules
imagine if races now require that the runner has to juggle 2 balls all the time
skill level needed becomes 100x
It should be a special olympics sport, because they look retarded.
Then why don't they just run
+ninja2566 because it's a WALKING competition you can't RUN in a WALKING competition!
everybody gangsta until they realize these boys can walk faster and longer than you jog
Of course, running is harder but you can walk miles without getting exhausted
That's what I was thinking, I run a mile in like 9 minutes, and these people are walking it 2 minutes faster than I can run
@@FGHZ walking like this at their professional pace is arguably even harder than running. Running is more natural and you use the spring in your hamstrings and achilles' heel to keep momentum. This walking is very blunt and because they cant bend their knees or bounce, they use more energy
With walking your are burning but with running you are out of breath
@@FGHZ Try to walk at that pace and then come back here

Once I jog around city stadium and met a guy who trained for his racewalking competition.. He was fast, of course I run passed him, but his stamina is amazing.. after 9 km or so, I started to slow down and this guy is still maintaining his pace like nobody's business..
wow, so much energy
The guy that lives next to me is in the olimpics this year for this. I see him everyday out walking. It is a sight to behold

A six minute walk mile... I definitely cannot judge
& that's me on a full out mile RUN!!

+staybasvd id like to know your definition of a real sport?
Having hip implants is like the steroids of this sports right?
No, steroids would be the steroids of this sport.
“Activity”
Danny 2lit actually many people in the sport of race walking do use steroids, this is why before and after races everyone must be drug tested. One Australian Race walker came 2nd in the London Olympics only to find out 4 years later that the guy who won was using drugs so the Australian guy got the gold medal! And hip implants wouldn’t help because it’s not how big your hips are it’s the motion of your hips. I hope this helps answer your question !
@@sidshaw1927 thats a very well written comment
I laughed waaay harder than i needed to and i sharted... so thank you for the laugh i needed that 😇😇
their hips dont lieeeee
Laughing so hard
Also i love how 80's this video feels 😂
They need to bring Tug Of War back into the Olympics. They currently have competitors from all continents as well as world championships. It's also very entertaining.
IOC doesn't include it anymore because they think (or thought) it's dangerous, I believe.
everyones hating but this is really difficult
true, i tried it at high school, lot harder than running
Your shin muscles hurt like hell
All because it's hard doesn't mean it's cool...

Who else is remembering that episode of Malcom in the Middle in which Hal started competing in Race walking? >U
Nobody:
*Me walking away from my problems:* 0:54

I'd be curious what the long term affects on the body are from walking like that over such distances. My hips really tight just watching this lol
They get rattled everywhichway and all the screws get loose and fall out.
Thats what i was wondering too. I imagine its not good for your body
Hilarious that I don’t remember watching this 3 years ago. I looked this sport up because a friend is competing. And had this exact same question of long term effects on the hips, I scroll down and I’ve made a comment about it already with +150 likes 🤣

Same here, at the park where I go the slow walkers look at me kind of surprised to see a guy almost 60 years old moving at 11 minute per mile...
The urge to run if you were getting beat would be too strong.
it can be...
Was the original race walkers actually swaying their hips like that when they first competed on it or was it a product of later competitors who saw the benefit of racing that way?
zenmar probably the latter. Olympics gets more complicated over the years as people try to score more. They find new techniques to be better than the others, then soon, the others copy. Even if they've done the wriggle walk since the first olympics, the development of the technique must have went through that kind of development.
Geofanny Yohanes yup that must be the case i mean it was only recently that i learned that the high jump competitors back then never really jump with their backs on the pole which is a standard move today.
zenmar it can be seen from other sports too. The moves in gymnastics are far more complicated today. In figure skating, especially the mens field, there are more and more jumps.
The sport and the technique have evolved over time.
@@zenmar2415 Yeah that's called the Fosbury Flop for the high jump, brought to the world's attention in the 1968 Olympics, but I've just watched a film from 1966 and they were pretty much walking like this - so it looks like it's development has been more gradual.

Rushing through the comment section to write "first" should be an olympic sport. I see so much people train for this sport every day.
This was well put together and very knowledgeable insight, good job guys 👌🏾
I can see how walking in a straight line naturally gives your hips the sway. Good example are runway models, those with less bouncy walks keep their torsos straight and put one foot in front of the other.
Please. I've seen this episode of Malcolm in the Middle.

Idk why everyone in the comment section is so surprised about this sport. Its just another way of advancing. There are 4 fcking ways to swim, and u get shocked when you see a different way of advancing on earth other than running? I believe that in the rest of the world outside U.S. this sport is much more recognised.
Jorge Gatcan there's like a hundred different ways to ride a bike :/
Jorge Gatcan And another way is crawling. Or skipping. Or rolling along he ground. Why aren't they Olympic events? I don't agree with those other swimming strokes either. As far as I'm concerned it should be about the fastest way to cover distance on foot or by swimming, not introducing ridiculous ways so those that can't keep up in the serious event can have a shiny medal too. I'm outside the US, and 'racewalking' is openly mocked where I am, as it should be.
Reuben Allan Exactly. Why don't we have bike races where they don't get to have a seat, or where they have to sit backwards on the crossbar while they try to pedal and see where they're going.
this is so inspiring!! I want to become a professional race walker!
My uncle was a winner in a few race walking competitions. My other uncle was a track star. Both my parents did sports back in Kenya...mom did field hockey. Can't remember what dad did. But I think they also did track. And there is me. Growing up people would ask me if im a runner..was it because I was Kenyan...or I...looked like I would be a good runner? All I know is I hated running and would come in almost last, if not dead last in our mile races we had to do every few months in school. My fastest mile was in HS, at like 9:36. LOL. The only other best ive had was doing a 6 mile bike trail in under 15 minutes, months before it took me 45 minutes and was pure torture, lol.
Now 34...some reason, they were in my recommends, I just began watching these track and field competitions...first time I ever watched Usain Bolt, WOW JUST WOW, and there are a whole lot of Kenyans I didnt even know we compete in these races lol! Anyway...im feeling a motivated to get into some training...I have always wanted to win a charity run (do you win those?lol) and always wanted to compete in at least one of those obstacle course events they have...like Spartan!

...walking as quickly as you can for 20 km? Yeah, the perfect sport for a lazy person.
@ less than 7min/mile pace, that's way faster than the average person can 'RUN'. It's a lot harder than you think to maintain that pace.

School: no running in the hallways
Speed walkers: Uno reverse card
First time I saw this sport was during the evening 2008 Olympics. It was like 2 in the morning and I flipped over to NBC and saw the strangest people in a line. Being so late I could not tell if I was dreaming or not. I continued watching until I fell asleep. I never seen the sport again until this vid. Anyways a debate about the differences between running and walking sparsely come up between me and my friends. No one seems to understand that running is practically jumping on one leg or quick successive leaps
I race people everyday down the sidewalks of SF
Time to go pro
I'll print out a bib number to attach to my shirts
I raced walked 21.1 km in 1 hour and 47 minutes. My 20 km time was 1 hour and 42. It was a fun time! 18 minutes away from Olympic standards.
Now I can’t unsee the leg straightness and it’s making me feel like I’m hyperextending my knees 😬😬
If speed walking can be an olympic discipline why can't speed crawling be one?
It's not a thing.
+Soyoko U. why can't it be?
NitroGlicerin I never said it can't be.
+Soyoko U. let's make it a thing xD
HOW TO BECOME AN OLYMPIC SPORT or DISCIPLINE - Let's use "race crawling" as an example
· The IAAF would have to recognize it as legitimate
· A semi-decent schedule of events should happen
· National, continental and World championships would need to be held
· Competitors should come from as many countries as possible, it has to be very intercontinental
· Some kind of qualification system for the Olympics would need to be created
Right now, for example, the UCI (cycling) is making BMX freestyle fairly formal and has completed almost all the steps to have park medal events by 2024. Here are the steps they are making
· UCI recognized BMX freestyle as something legitimate
· The FISE tour now includes the UCI-sanctioned BMX Freestyle World Cup with 5 competitions in 3 continents in 2016
· Still no continental or World championships... but having an annual World Cup is a very big deal
· Competitors already from both Americas, Europe and Asia
· Still no qualifying format for the Olympics
They never explained why 230.2 is a relevant number?
it is called looking at the video. It is shown right as they say it.
I agree. They explained what 230.2 is but not the actual number 230.2. It could very well be 453.5 and it still makes sense because they didn't explain the number.
Kieran Yeah I saw the paper and it didn’t explain what the number was
Ciera, 230.2 means "rule 230, section 2". It's right in the video at the 2:05 mark... it gets explained right after they mention it.
That rule *defines* the sport, that's why it's "the number" (of the rule relevant).
That's the best videp I could have found today. Made my day

Does this sneak into their every day steps? Without realizing it they turn their hips and bend their arms at the grocery store?
As a distance runner, if my coach tried to convince me to compete in this, I'd be the first person ever to be DQed for running
you just described sports in a way that honestly gave me more interest in them
If you guys have ever wondered how strict they are with the rules, in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Jane Saville was leading in the last 100 meters of a 20km racewalking event and they disqualified her for lifting. It was especially rough because Saville was a lifelong Sydney resident and was representing Australia
The reporters sound like they're doing their best to not laugh.😂

NINE NINE!
I did sports in highschool and I tried this one, other than my long distance track race. It was really hard. Our body must be really be well warmed up. Especially the hip and legs. And we have to be flexible enough. The rules for this race is really strict. There's a term in this race called 'Floating', if you do that, you're out right away, even when you're not finished yet. At least, that was what I experienced. I remember I only took that race once because I injured my leg after that. My hip got dislocated. I over warmed up my body before the race.😅 That's as painful as my broken arm.😂
When I was at school I was a pretty decent sprinter (county/district standard) and went to a training camp at Loughborough university, while I was there we met a guy who the British walking champion, he was training for the 1980 Olympic Games, and I’ll tell you we were jogging to keep up with him!
