When the lifeguard yells no running on the pool deck

Nice one
That is funny
havn't heard that one before...
Jim Gaffigan
I feel like the most difficult part of this sport is resisting the urge to just run.
People say that but it doesn't make sense. It is like doing a technical stroke in swimming like butterfly stroke or breast stroke. Freestyle is the fastest stroke but if you are swimming breast stroke you don't get the urge to break into a crawl. You are doing the stroke you are doing.
Actually the hardest parts of racewalking at the world class level are avoiding injury and avoiding disqualification.
@@Stacie45 I'd say its more like doggy paddling for a long time but you're tired and you just really want to swim normally. Also, isn't disqualification because you ran?
@@TheBleepBloopBlop disqualification can be for bent knee or stride lift infractions, much less than just running.
bruhhh these dudes r just jogging whats the difference between this and jogging
@@ianwillows8512 watch the form, knees lock and you always need to have contact with the ground.
The objective seems to be to run as much as you can without getting caught.
The true definition
đđđyes
đđđ
Yess â€ïž
Very well put lol
Didnt consider this to be a sport... Until I found out they walk a mile in about 7 mins, which is faster than most can run.
6.5 min miles
Solsist Roblox 7 mins isn't faster than most can run, unless you are in America.
Solsist Roblox Its not
1 mile in 3 minutes for me cuz Im in cross country and track
Tdmclaug, Im in america, and I'm only 13...
they literally walk faster than i run
hit the gym bud :/
samuelCWM itâs not walking at that point. Itâs pretty much a jog with your back leg extended enough to look like youâre walking
samuel... you should probably start doing exercise. an average person runs faster then that
AstronomicalUnit
that's 7min mile pace, an average person can't run at that speed for 20km lol
Astro: Maybe not for the same distance. Samuel is giving them a compliment by his being modest.
This looks painful. It must be hard to try and not run
Mrmacmcsnack HadaGoodSnackPack it's hard..And you muscles cramps alot
It's not hard at all, actually, race walking is more similar to kind of a funny, slow jumping than it is to running. In fact, if you want to start running in the middle of racewalking, you may need to take a pause, can't do it on the go.
@@jealousharibo I'm in a sport walking team it's not as easy as you think
@@joethetropico9481 I'm in a sport race walking team as well, which is why I think it is. I would not devout my life to a sport i deem too challenging of me from the very beginning, there is plenty of challenges during competition.
@@jealousharibo it is hard
I just tried to speedwalk outside and I done 3.5km in 25 mins and I was exhausted.... They aren't human... They machines.... Huge respect....
Respect to you too
Lol I'm glad you tried. This tires me out more than actual running does!!!! You use different muscles for longer periods. Truly amazing
@@alexandercameron645 I guess that depends on your definition of "tires". You typically get tired by sustaining a high heart rate for an extended period of time. There's zero chance of having a higher heart rate walking than running.
Its still dumb.
speed walking for 30 minutes tires me out way more then a jog.
That's me sprinting
start exercising
Noknes I think they already know that lmao
Haha youâre unathletic, epic relatable internet comment
That's how I run when I've diarrhea.
WittyNatty đđđđ
haha
Just the comment I was looking for.
Do you say âI think I can I think I canâ?
I laugh hard to this!
By far the funniest sport I've seen.
Wait till you watch bme
I like the part when they walk
Same
CZcams Commenter me too
Gee really? I like the part where they move
@@vamsigollapalli1333 omg same
The moment you realize they were walking nonstop for 1 hour and 20 minutes... respect
I can do that easily. Walking that fast for an hour and 20 minutes... thatâs hard
I donât think itâs that hard or maybe Iâm missing something?
@@cocopuffs8646 try walking without for an hour and 20 minutes it's tiring unless you are really fit then in that case respect
@@user-km4lo8zz6z ... you don't have to be "really fit" to walk for... an hour and twenty minutes. Lmfaooo. Even jogging for an hour 20 mins doesn't require you to be "really fit" Statistically the average person can walk 20 miles (32km) without taking a break. At a relaxed rate that ends up being 6 hrs 45 mins of walking. At a normal pace its about 5 hours. And that's the AVERAGE person. You'd have to be pretty unhealthy to think less than an hour and a half is very tiring.
@@mbasque4049 I kind of meant at that speed. Thought it went with out saying but I probably should have said that in my comment
Gf: âI heard you were in the Olympics, what sport did you do?â
Him: *âWalkingâ*
Despite what you might think itâs actually pretty harsh on the body
Imagine going down a dark alleyway then a Wang and Cai just come outta the shadows speed walking faster than you can run.
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł

This comment is golden
G(OLD) Comment
(G)old
This is so unnaturally brutal on the body...
It's 3 am and I'm loosing my mind over pro speed walking I'm absolutely obsessed
if you just show them from waist high, it looks like they are running. I am blown away by the speed here! JUST TREMENDOUS!
Yall keep on talking trash, they can walk faster for a mile than some of you run a mile
Fang Kun Han actually true the fastest do an 8minute mile... walking
Hannah Gorman the world record is 5 minutes and 31 seconds.
Fang Kun Han
Fang Kun Han no they cant
fang, if someone can't run a mile faster then 5 mins they should start exercising
how do the commentators hold it together? I don't think I could last the first twenty seconds without laughing into the mic
true
Ikr lol
Because this sport is no joke it's very hard to stick to the rules
Typically commentators have competed in the sport in the past so they wouldnât laugh at their own craft. Iâm sure if they had a ball player commentating this they would probably laugh
Glue Stone itâs funny tho
Replay at 0,25x speed and you see everyone is actually running. Their rear feet leave the ground before front foot has hit the ground
human eye counts
It sure does!
Their strides are not to big as knees are straight not bending. They are moving forward by using heap muscle
Iâll never forget this but the day this was on was a day that me, family and my friends were hanging out and decided to turn this on. We all immediately cracked up and I lost it when my brother said âtheyâre coming for you.â
Imagine crowd gather to see 30 people are walking on road.
They look like soccer moms....
I know they're athletes....but they look like soccer moms trying to get their coffee before the morning rush while getting their "speed-walking-instead-of-running-exercise" in.
Yes
Realyy..
Yes
Lmao
Franklin's mom
i love how the warnings are issued by holding a ping pong paddle in front of someone
watching this brings so much joy to my heart for no apparent reason at all
You bring joy to my heart for no apparent reason
8:10 that's good meme material
Just when you thought it was gonna be a leisurely stroll with chats and banter, everyone's already so far ahead of you
I've tried a walking race before. One of them would literally slow briefly to give me tips as he lapped me, since he was so far ahead of the actual competitive walkers. Its not really exhausting like people on here think it is. At our pace we can't move fast enough to need to pant, at their pace they've had to train all day every day so they're obviously in far better shape than one would need to jog at that pace. I did end up with the strangest combination of sore muscles, however. And it is incredibly difficult as far as technique goes, even as a pole vaulter I found it difficult to manage to successfully execute the tips given. For beginners it can be reasonably difficult to not break the rules which demand things like one foot be on the floor at all times, and I forget a number but possibly to do with not bending knees and the like. If one is trying to walk at a fast but non-race pace it isn't too difficult, but the moment you start to race it gets tricky. But since they've likely spent tens of thousands of hours or more exclusively race-walking its second nature to them. Like with most events (pole vault included) you've done the same activity so many times that it can sometimes be harder trying to avoid thinking about what you're doing, like breathing its easy until you start to think about what you're doing.
I wonder how embarrassing it is when you're flirting with a pretty girl and you tell her you're a racewalker haha
James Smith i wouldn't say its that embarrassing when you could walk a mile faster than she can run.
melody xx so fucked up lol
I would totally date a race walker. Sporty guys over couch potato guys. Any day.
De mon hardest sports? you're only saying that because you're arrogant and it's something that you like.
If she sees you "race walking" I doubt you'll ever see her again, lol
They actually walk very fast...imagine if they run.
David Chan most Racewalkers can't run very fast but i guess that's why they walk đź
they are made for walking not running
Itâs when you try to be a runner but running has too many competitors
Dane bird smith can run 5k in 15:15 mins.
Could it be possible they forgot how to run? Lmao
They are jogging đđđđđ
It's always so cool to see how different sports affect the physique. Speedwalkers definitely look very thin, but muscley.
For me, this is a pure halfmarathon......
đđ€Ł it looks like a kindergarten class trying not to run in the hallway but still be first to snack time.
These guys are breaking the rules like crazy. Every one of them would be tossed if the judges properly called this
Only rule is to always have one foot at least partially on the ground
Why can't we have moonwalking races?
That is going to come in 2030.
Might not be in the olympics, but it could be possible
If only
Maybe oneday
^THIS
elon musk needs to get on that
Me and the boys when the teacher says no running in the halls
I didnât know mamma walking (otherwise known as the âget out of my way I have to peeâ walk) was a sport
You must not have made it to 8:22! Look, there are curves too. **nudges your shoulder** Ah ha, you're impressed now, huh.
if you put .25 speed they're all cheating by having both feet off the ground
"As judged by the human eye" is in the IAAF Rulebook - and that is how the races are judged. Top level Racewalking Officials train for many hours to become adept at seeing the flaws that break the two rules governing this sport. These people must pass a rigorous testing proceedure to make it to these high levels in the sport.
As an athlete in racewalking, I have been Disqualified once in a race, and I deserved it. On the flip side, I also have won a Gold Medal in the 20km Racewalking World Championship in 1976, at Rio de Janiero, CISM Games.
Steven DiBernardo how did you get interested in race walking? Where can I learn. Thank you for insight on these comments, really cool
7:09 commentators talk about this
Yeah it's "by the human eye" 7:09
Steven DiBernardo Thankyou
y'all make fun of them but i can tell that keeping that form for 20km and at that speed has to be absolutely gruelling. it must be even more challenging mentally than physically.
Dangg, they walk a mile faster than I run one. Dangggg. And they do it with fancy style as well! Kinda the Shakira hip movements ya know
Clorex Bleach đđđđ
Lmaoo
Ledo lo le lo le, ledo lo le lo le
Can't you see? I'm at your feet đđ
I didnât think this was real , absolutely hilarious.
I feel like the athletes are disrespected by receiving a little statue with colors, and not actual Bronze, Silver and Gold medals. Ugh...so much money goes into organizers pockets yet the athletes who sacrificed a lot to make it on the podium barely get anything.
IckySticky 1 it was only so called flower ceremony, which happens directly after the race. The medal ceremony usually takes place later on the same day.
How do they distinguish between walking and jogging?
one foot can't be off the ground while the other is.
Straight legs
No air fase
@@Maplelust Play it at .25 speed and it appears that they are all cheating
Teacher: no running in the hallways!
Everyone:
đđđđđ
Accurate
wouldve popped like 4x 5km eggs in pokemon go
First time I've seen the Kenyans in the race walk event. I suppose they're exploring this sport now?!
OutdoorsyAshie im from kenya
Joshua Vranesich not everyone from Kenya is automatically a distance runner lmao
Kate Wilkinson đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
When the teacher says "no running in the halls"
I do this to get to my classes early đđđ
I could watch this all day.
alot of people in this comment section are saying that an average person can run faster than these guys can walk... these guys walked at a 3.58 per km pace (around 6.23 per mile) for 20 kms! (1st place), elite runners (male) can complete a 20k under 60 mins (below 3.00 min/km pace) while an average man can complete it in around 2 hours (6.00 min/km pace), so before you say that a 4 min/km pace is easy to an average person consider that you are probably not an average man if 4 min/km is easy for you.
It's so hard than running . I respect this sport
Jarir of tĂ©touan itâs not harder than running lol
@@katewilkinson3640 we should try it together
@@katewilkinson3640
This is tougher than running.
It pains a lot in the hip and thigh region
@@katewilkinson3640 As someone who is currently a walker and used to run a lot, it is definitely harder than running. With running, you have the momentum to push you forward but you can't really rely on that while walking. Plus, lactic acid builds up so fast when walking, you start to feel it in 200m and you just have to suffer the rest of the way
All nice and fun till someone sits on the cameraman's motorcycle
Darwin: This is pretty effective.
Richard: Well itâs an Olympic event you know
Thanks for taking me to this awesome place
I've always done this instead of running because my shoes are too slippery; Maybe this sport is my true calling.
3:03 it look like running
Imagine waking up being like hey I Want To Be a race Walker
I used to do this all the time in the halls of high school.
This has become a meme in my community
When you are late for work but too embarassed to run in the public:
WHY AM I WATCHING THIS???!!
If you pause the video frequently and look at their feet, you can sometimes see that they aren't keeping at least one foot on the ground, which is a crucial, obliged rule in race walking...
Andrei Gabriel True, there is a flight phase. But racewalking is judged by the human eye, and we only see 24 frames per second. The officials must pass many levels of training and years of work to be accredited for judging this sport. It is tough to become this good at being able to judge these athletes. :)
7:09 commentators talk about that
@@stevendibernardo1015 humans don't see in "frames" first of all, but yes, judging is done by the human eye only so part of elite racewalk technique is fitting in some unoticable air-time.
Reminds me of 3 gangster cats walking in Tom and jerry.
I didn't even realize that their cadence is actually pretty fast!!
6-7 minute miles, which is insane.
they are literally running, don't fool me y'all
this ain't kidding bro, tried for 2km and my legs are dead đ
It's so mesmerizing.
mst3kanita ok
How on earth are they all not disqualified? They are all catching pretty good air in their stride and don't have one foot in contact with the ground at all times.
imapieface "As judged by the human eye" is in the rulebook, due to the flight phase. We can have a very small flight phase during the progression of steps taken in forward progress and not be DQ'd. The consensus of the independent judges can disqualify an athlete even after the race is over, because the cards that are turned in during a race might not yet all be credited to each athlete. Gold Medals have been lost after the race is over, because races in this sport are NOT Official until the Head Judge reports the official results to the scorer.
Steven DiBernardo my point exactly. My human eye sees it plainly without even slowing it down.
me crossing the street with people staring at me from their cars trying not to look like iâm rushing
Looking at their legs is like an illusion
Nuff respect!! Not an easy sport at all. Stunning scenery as well.
Ironically, it's the most brutal sports on the Olimpics. But people make fun of it.
@@AlxandreNotavo The *most* brutal sport? Dunno about that one.
@@gummy5862 On the Olimpics
I love how there filming it on motorcycles
Most people say this sport is a joke
But these people practice as hard as other sport with the same determination
They can walk 11 kilometers per hours! That is way faster than I can run (8km)
Edit:and it is probably faster than you can run
When you play it at .25 speed it's very clear that it is a joke. All of them have a period of time when Both feet are off the ground.
We are proud of you Manish , I'm sure you gonna make history in Tokyo
This is how I walk when I accidentally pour olive oil on the kitchen floor.
man i love watching this video at 2x speed. they just wiggle so fast
Birdsmith throwing up the Bird after getting 3rd was the funniest thing Iâve ever seen.
walk is a sport? wow you learn new things everyday
It's actually super hard, having to remember your technique throughout the walk...
Can you walk 20 km at a 7 minute mile pace?
I thought most people knew of this, itÂŽs not because I practice it, but I have at least heard about it, from time to time.
I mean Poker is a sport so why not
Now, esport is included in Asian Games.
The excitement is...palpable.
Absolutely amazing, u can run a half marathon in o me hour and a half, and this dudes can do a minor time in almost the same distance but walking
Vaquita Hardcore Respect. :D It is a great sport. Nit everyone is able to comprehend this.
Half the distance
@@ajz013 half marathon is 21 km
Very interesting race! These guys are fast!
So nice of the volunteers to have the finish line banner put up and up again for people who finished despite not first
Watching at .25x, there often appears like there could be a very short period of time when both feet are off the ground. However, since the judges judge at normal speed, they will only catch the more egregious violations which seems fair to me.
good job Wang Zhen!
5:45 This guy taking the outside leading into the corner so he doesnt lose to much speed on the corner like this is F1!!!!!!!! IM DYING.
nailed the apex
Setelah saya menonton ini saya jadi paham teknik jalan cepat yang benar yaitu berjalan gerak maju dengan melangkah tanpa adanya hubungan terputus dengan tanah. Setiap kali melangkah kaki depan harus menyentuh tanah sebelum kaki belakang meninggalkan tanah. Kaki yang digerakkan maju ke depan harus diluruskan sejak saat persentuhan pertama dengan tanah hingga badan mencapai posisi vertikal.
I'd love to see how fast they run compared to their walk
Theyâre certainly far above average sprinters
Their equivalent of steroid use would be putting a pebble in your shoe.
When itâs lunch time and the hall monitor says no running in the halls
I'm amazed that there's this many people willing to do this sport for 20KMs
This is WAY harder than it looks!đ„ Race walkers are amazing athletes! RESPECT! I wonder if the Kenyans, Ethiopians and, Ugandans, are looking at this sport, going, "Hmmm...race walking! We should we jump into that!"đđđ¶đœââïžđ„đȘđčđșđŹđ°đȘ
Might not have great genetics for it but who knows đ€
The way they walk is funny
How fast is their pace in MPH?
Bruh, I always knew there was a catwalk but never knew that theres a race walk all along, and its an Olympic event.
At 5:31 he is clearly not walking.
4:19 am pretty sure he ran đ€Łđ€Ł
4:19
yea
Si
They must be the chillest people in the world or something because that takes alot of mindset and meditation , they are meditating as they are speed walking lol
This is my fave sport in Olympic
