Ok, so I know its a "sport" but whats the point?
You look like a bunch of mincing dicks, cant be any good for your joints and, er, its quicker if you run!
You may as well do this;

It is a stupid thing to do, but then so is the butterfly swimming stroke - takes more effort and is slower than front crawl.
Some of them can go hella fast, almost got passed by one in a 10k last November - think he went just under 40 mins.
I found this a stupid phrase in 1993. Is this it in zombie form, come back from the dead?Some of them can go hella fast, almost got passed by one in a 10k last November - think he went just under 40 mins.
My running coach represented GB at the Barcelona Olympics in the walk. I don't understand it either. One thing to consider is that so few people do it that if you're any good at it you'll get to (or near to) the top of the rankings. My coach could do about 6mins/mile walking...
If the major complaint from people is "it looks gay" then all that shows is their somewhat shallow, image-obsessed nature. I can understand the complaints about it being pointless (running is faster etc) but who cares what other people think you look like when you're competing?

But it's not like it looks a bit gay - like figure skating or riding a motorbike. It's the gayest thing in the whole wide world. The objective of the sport seems to be "he who looks the most gay wins" and that just can't be right can it. Even the women - where wiggly hips should be a virtue - look daft. The men just look like they are involved in some sort of homsexual mating race.
Does anyone, anywhere not involved in this "sport" not think that it's both pointless and gay? (but mainly gay - supergay in fact)
