Tallent's feet are clearly off the ground.

I'd follow the 50km sidestep.

 

[Dylan8]

It doesn't though. How many campaigners have you ever seen in the street "walking" like this? I've seen one, Dan Aykroyd in the opening credits of Doctor Detroit.

I was trying to lean on your reference to "bad heavy metal" by referencing Pantera

That Dunfee guy shoulders the Japanese fella, then completely runs out of stride while feigning a faux-spill.

This is horrible.

M Toth goes to a bar tonight in Rio, taps a girl on the shoulder.

"Hey babe, can I buy you a drink?"

"Maybe, what do you do?"

"I'm an Olympic gold medalist".

"Oh really!? *swivels chair in M Toth's direction* "What event did you win your gold medal in "

"The 50km walk"

*Swivels chair back round and continues talking to the garbage man trying to pick her up*

Walking and Marathon events just seem counterproductive to fit and healthy athletes. It looks like a stiff breeze would throw the whole shebang in to disarray.

Tbe ball doesn't seem to be going in, but it's been horrible offense by the Boomers in this game. Farking.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

And we're losing to side that can't even spell their name properly.

 

[Coobk001]

Wheres our mate Diego, got a team of Aussie Basketballers who need the heimlich maneuver performed on them.

 

[bomberclifford]

So that Boomers hype didn't last very long.

 

[finbarr]

This is 119 stuff.

Also, watching the Tour de France makes me want to get on my bike and ride up the biggest mother ******* hill I can climb. What could this shit possibly inspire anyone to do?

I don't know, watching someone shit themselves and still finish a 50 k walk was good tv.

 

[Del165198]

will get comprehensively smeared by spain in the bronze medal game as well

i bet cate campbell is feeling relieved at least

 

[Del165198]

i enjoyed the walking melt

i dunno, it is a ridiculous sport. the speeds they waddle are pretty insane though. definitely disagree with saying they're not athletes

 

[Lagooner]

This is 119 stuff.

Imagine if they made it to the gold medal game against the Dream Team, the difference could literally have been 119.

 

[finbarr]

So that Boomers hype didn't last very long.

Like the Campbell sisters hype, the Kookaburras hype, the <insert Australian name here> hype before them. Time to close the AIS and give our money back.

Was there a literal pant pooping?

the dream team are more like the have a 15 minute nap and drool on yourself on the couch team.

that said, they'll still win the gold

Sorry to all you breakfast eaters

 

[powermacs]

YES!! We are the best country in the world at running races around horse jumps!!!

 

[finbarr]

Sorry to all you breakfast eaters

This is what the Olympics are all about.

 

[raman]

I don't understand how anyone ever tries pole vault for the first time.

 

[Janus]

What the ****? Did they really remake Ben-Hur? A movie that won 11 Academy Awards?

Ramming speed!
