It was just that one guy. Almost seemes like his hands were wet and/or sweaty and he couldn't get a good grip on them. The guys after him picked them up fine.
LPR Geddes I’m not an avid racewalking fan (I’d be worried if anyone was) but I’m fairly sure the rules are that it has to look like walking to the human eye. They have are allowed to have both feet off the ground 3 times which is why you hear the commentators talk about ‘red cards.’ However, I doubt they could keep track of every athelete for the whole race so a lot of them probably ‘run’ more than 3 times.
@@lprgeddes2017 It is not a run, it is a flight phase, but judged by the human eye. Some judges are more polished and less influenced by athlete representation. Racewalkers are disqualified all the time, and if you actually watched this event you would know this.
@@libradragon I am perfectly aware that plenty of racewalkers are disqualified. Throwing insults around at people based on nothing is not a good idea on platforms like TH-cam. As both a fan and official, it is a disgrace to the sport of athletics that so many athletes get away with cheating - be that intentional or unintentional. If this occurred less, then racewalking would be far more reputable than it is currently.
@@lprgeddes2017 I apologize for my assumption. It was not my intention to throw you an insult. We are likely unified in very similar backgrounds. I am as frustrated as you are with the increasingly tarnished reputation that racewalking has endured over the decades.

Peace and prosperity. Best of good fortune.
I watched the whole thing when it took place, cheering on my colleagues and on all of the female walkers. It was a historic race and no fan of Athletics should pass up on watching it.
In swimming you've got freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly. For track and field you've only got two different types of gaits, running and race walking so race walking is a welcome addition.
3h50 - Tokyo 2020(1) Olympic Games 4h04 - Doha 2019 IAAF WC 4h10 - Kuala Lumpur 1998 Commonwealth Games Those are the slowest 50km walks in recent memory. All those are because of the hot and humid conditions. Fact: the last competitor to cross the finish line clocks 5h32 (women), 1h9m behind winner
A relay event could have a race walk on a track, two off-track running legs, and then a track run as the fourth leg. This would add variety to track relay events. This would interest me, but I know it wouldn't interest everyone. We'll see what happens.
Lots of discipline needed to even just follow the rules in that situation. If someone broke out running at the end that would give me a good laugh (hopefully he would be laughing, too, in addition to being upset at himself for getting disqualified after all that work).
I never understood racing walking, and then I met a competitive race walker, the 2nd fastest in his country, i saw the training he put in, and then I understood even less.
It's been out in the public since XIXth century, actually, its form evolved some whet since then though. Sadly, it doesn't get the screen time and recognition it deserves.
Check out the late 1890's through the year 1905. "Pedestrianism" was all the rage and wagers were made on it more than any other sport of the time. Including Boxing, Football, Baseball. An Olympic event for more than 100 years. 🎽
Question: I assume being that it's a race "walk", one foot must always be on the ground. So does that mean there are people watching to make sure one foot is always on the ground? Is there a penalty for both feet leaving the ground?
Yes. I came to this video after watching the Vox TH-cam Channel on the rules and techniques of Race Walking. Check it out, it's a good, short--yet informative video.
Is there a penalty for both feet leaving the ground? You'll get a warning (🔴 card) for doing that IF it's spotted by the judges. 3x🔴 and you'll serve a 5 minute penalty (instead of instant DSQ, different than previous races).
Seems like they've established an optimal form for fast walking...what's with the hip thrust left and right? Is that supposed to help relieve pressure and pain of your foot?
I think its meant to be relaxed in that sense. The judges can only officiate with their naked eyes, with no help from a camera or replays. This is probably because its impossible for someone to completely stick to such rigid rules all the time, and they wouldn't want to penalise every athlete every single lap cause that would ruin the flow of the race. And if they did punish it fully then racers would just have to decrease their pace to such an extent where it might not be interesting to watch anymore(not that this is the most fast paced sport but its obvious that it's managed to gather quite a fan base). So they decided that we'll check occasionally with judges on the sides to make sure athletes are at least attempting to adhere to the rules and not taking advantage of things, but not so much as to ruin the pace of an event.
What kind of running manoeuvre it is, why they r not running normally, r they disable ? Anyone here who can guide me, what is story, i didn't get it...

Seems like this is track & fields version of Curling. It looks too weird for outsiders to appreciate. They gonna hate on it. Watching these Chinese women was intense and super cool. Try running a marathon with the risk of being disqualified by super dork, bureaucrat judges up to the last minute. Makes for high drama.
Freeze Frame any of the leaders and you will see both feet in the air almost every step. That is not walking. It is called running. Why is this a sport??
I didn’t even know this sport existed. No wonder big companies like Nike never really use these athletes for them ad, kinda degrading sport for men walking like Victoria secrets models. 😩
Lifeguard: No running around the pool!
Them: IM NOT RUNNING!!

Stunned he didn't get penalised for deliberately chucking bottles onto the road. He should've been disqualified for such behaviour.

is anyone actually gonna watch it all
Hello no to no no no
I am right now 52 minutes in!
Saw the start ,,,, then ff to the finish. That's the best I could do....
imagine not watching the whole thing

This looks bad for your legs and pelvis.
and knees
you cant be serious ?!?!
the best sport for losing your weight quickly from legs :D
hip replacements must be common when retired i assume
Real Bad .....
How can ANYONE in his/her right mind give this a dislike. Come on !!! What is not.to like
It's boring from start to finish. And it lacks excitement........
a better question is what’s there to like?

there are some moment they are actually running
but well it's 50km so i pay respect
When the excitement begins. 9:00

Mom: Don't run around the park, you'll fall and injure yourself
Kid: Can I walk?

The longest event in athletics, ladies and gentlemen. The dorkiest one too.
They must conduct ultramarathon races too,it will be fascinating
@@vishvaaschannel9987 Longest event in the Olympic Games, 8km father than the Marathon. World Championship events go to 100km distance.
Probably the most grueling too. People actually shat blood, collapsed, and kept walking until the finish line.
@@libradragon How about 100 _miles_ ?
I use to think that this sport was funny,but now I like it very much.
Anyone who watch the full video deserve Oscar award
I always think of the episode of Hal speed walking in Malcolm in the middle...
None of these people are wearing those aerodynamic helmets though 🤣
Same😂😂😂😂
or, Bill Nye as *Speed walker* in Almost Live skits. Fun times. And Bill actually had decent technical efficiency.
I feel like if two people are competing 100m before the finifh line. It must be sooo hard to resist not to just run😆🥵

Try watching curling! First time I saw it I thought they were preparing the ice for the real sport. Little did I know that WAS the sport!
It's not a sport.

Race walking this distance during a night time is a very very good feeling,please do the same in Olympics too.
I watched the whole race. This is interesting u kno
Ireland really just moonwalked across the finish line
Ohhhh... this is the form I should use when doing brisk walking exercise.
RACEWALKING IS MORE THAN BRISK WALKING. IT HAS 2 CARDINAL RULES...
Question: I assume being that it's a race "walk", one foot must always be on the ground. So does that mean there are people watching to make sure one foot is always on the ground? Is there a penalty for both feet leaving the ground?
Yes. I came to this video after watching the Vox TH-cam Channel on the rules and techniques of Race Walking. Check it out, it's a good, short--yet informative video.
YES TO BOTH
Is there a penalty for both feet leaving the ground?
You'll get a warning (🔴 card) for doing that IF it's spotted by the judges. 3x🔴 and you'll serve a 5 minute penalty (instead of instant DSQ, different than previous races).
Race starts at 9:02
4:13:23 finish time 4:04:20
Watch in 2x speed
It's like running on ice
Me too. It looked like they were running.
I've walked like that after eating taco bell a time or two.
Good job
This is hilarious to me. Can't help it
25 laps of 2km on the same road oh man xD i guess they have to keep it as consistent as possible
So this is where the people who suck at running go
RyanTal24 not necessarily
considering the world record mile is 5 minutes i dont think it is
NOT HARDLY
This one is harder as walking has strict rules you need to obey all the time.
This looks like a Jim Carrey SNL skit, WTF ?
Horacio Nava uno de los mejores
What shoes they be wearing? I don't see any next %s
this is like foreplay before running
Seems like they've established an optimal form for fast walking...what's with the hip thrust left and right? Is that supposed to help relieve pressure and pain of your foot?
Is race walking bad for the hips? I want to get into it but I’m worried about injuries

Japan`s jogging a bit
As a race walker judge I can tell you that they aren’t running. All judgements are made based on the unaided human eye
And i thought Curling was the weirdest sport, some of these guys are really stretching the rules, they almost look like they're lightly jogging.
