Women's 5000m Walk Final - Athletics - Singapore 2010 Youth Games

[buckysmokes420]

this is trash ,whats next, olympic eating?

[Jadee393]

So then when does a walk become a run? I never understood race walking

[benpman11]

that is so dumb. There is no reason for them to be collapsing after a 5k WALK. if you were RUNNING say at like a 5 minute mile, then you would have reason to collapse. but this is just rediculous

[shaundenning]

some of them look sexy

[shaundenning]

5000m man

[deridealetod]

I can only imagine the guy who invented the sport wasn't good at anything besides walking fast.

[softballstar811]

this is the stupidest sport i have every seen. i dont think it is a sport!! 

[yatinshams]

How do you feel about that win?? ummm it was a walk in the park

[Robinatorxl]

it took the winner about 23 mins to do 5k, i run 10k in 30 mins. this may be hard but compared to other 'real' sports this is relatively easy. no offence intended

[LMaster1]

@Robinatorxl If your running a 10k in 30 minutes your a top D1 level runner.

There is a difference between running and walking. Also, this is both a junior event and a women's event so obviously you wouldn't expect insane times. Keep in mind that even at 22:30 pace they are still walking at 8.2 or so mph. It's one thing to run that...a whole different story to walk it.

The men are capable of 1:17 ish for 20km. Try walking on a treadmill at 9.8 for 12 miles and see how it goes.

[evlsv620]

"The Chinese Runner with the Silver" hahaha I thought it was a walk.

[COWoodard100]

This is stupid



[iMaDeMoN2012]

This is not easy! I'm a runner wouldn't ever want to have to contest this kind of race. Real athletes have a lot of respect for these competitors.

[runningbabe43]

@iMaDeMoN2012

AMEN!

[Nintendodwii]

Im from Australia and 5km is not long at all, the normal/average race is 10-15km and it is a good sport, not an easy one at that, anyone who doesnt think its a sport hasnt attempted it

[avenged7xguitar]

Meh I dont see the point if you can just run.

[MellyBooXD]

Im a high school race walker and this looks so gross like i don't think i could ever move my body like that for that long! (o.o)

[TheChosenMouse]

That would really suck for Galchenko

[darreldennis]

she is good

[artkellner]

Listen you knuckheads (anyone dissing this sport) My fastest 5K walk (and I was tearing it up) was 34 minutes. Thhese kids are beating me by 12 minutes. Viva Jefferson Perez. He is the chuck norris of racewalking.

[tesseractmartyr]

lmao why is this a olympic sport 

[TrollinOnMyFace]

@tesseractmartyr no offense but i bet you couldnt even run 5 km in 22 min

[MichaelaLeach]

I'm sorry but this is just ridiculous..... Just freaking RUN!!!!!!!!!! I'm not saying this easy, it's obviously very challenging but why abuse your body like this when you can just run? Judges are constantly watching to make sure you're still walking, it's like they are limiting themselves. Running is much better on your body, it's a more natural movement than this speed walking stuff.

[btf808abc]

that is soooo bad for your hips

[Dennya192]

i love how u can be the fastest walker in the world!!

[shinigamijim20]

Kimberly Garcia!!

[justlisten2010]

Seeing as I've never tried it, I can't judge them. Those girls are in much better shape than I am.

But still.....

"Runners suffer from exhaustion after competing in an Olympic power-walking race."

It just sounds ridiculous.

[iambackfinally]

Seriously?Walking?Almost anyone who is in the age range can take part then...

[SmarvoE]

@iambackfinally Lemme see you walk like that.

[iambackfinally]

@SmarvoE Sure.Don't tell me you can't walk like that?

[SmarvoE]

@iambackfinally Okay. upload a film showing me you walk in that STYLE and in a 5km distance. :)

[alibabas123]

Clemente was great ;) Galchenko deserved something though, what a pity. x.x

[kaimingw]

WOW  *_*

[evanboy101]

gwan kate veale ya legendary thing ya!!!:D

[francofrigiola]

Anna Clemente.. l'orgoglio laertino..........CAMPIONESSA DEL MONDO

siamo tutti fieri .. i sacrifici sono sempre pagati dal successo.

[DragonTrixter]

This may look easy but imagine having to walk intensely for 20 something minutes? Ouch.. my calves

[benja303]

WTF lol walk. Don't get me wrong i probably couldn't do it but its still kinda makes me laugh.

[paug95]

Cmon Kate Veale! :)

[holmson93]

grande Anna!

[laertino95]

forza anna forza laterza!!!

[Exorcist92]

I find it funny how the lady calls out the names of first and third place finishers, but only says "the Chinese runner". :P

[StrawhatxLuffy]

oh damn.... poor girl

[kingwarsban]

grande annaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaa

[facedancer0]

So sad for the Ukrainian! She led the entire way! When I saw it first-hand I thought she didn't know where the finish line was ><

[Phistra]

Ban this discipline! Look at the ucrainian girl. She couldn't walk any more after her fall.

[facedancer0]

@Phistra Ban a sport just because one person almost could not complete the event? Meh.

[incantalupo87]

ANNA CLEMENTE LA NUMERO 1
