Oh the heartbreak and tragedy of watching an entire Walking event, the lead Walker coming into the stadium miles ahead of the rest and ... they're DQed as they come through the entrance. =(
man. walking is an olympic sport now? my conversation with ignipes about olympic four square and olympic monkey off the monkeys bars is seeming more and more plausible!
It's called race walking but, seriously, that was mallwalking. It's mallwalking for 20km in an oval. It's like they all showed up for a NASCAR meet but nobody brought a car. It's brilliant.
YES! I told my brother it was on last night and he looked at me like I was crazy. But I laughed HYSTERICALLY when that came on. POWER WALKING! And there were RULES! And YELLOW CARDS!
... why yes my mind has officially gone 'round the bend with all this Olympics stuff. I still haven't seen my handball tho. That's the only one I'm missing.

Wait, how do you get a yellow card in WALKING?!
