I think a better name for this event is call Hip Twisting

I want to send my congratulations to the Australian walking team at the Olympics.

An awesome performance from Jared Tallent and solid results by Luke Adams.

Deakes is only doing the 50 km in Beijing right?

[athsvicTV]

Correct - Deakes only doing 50km. That left a spot in the 20km walk, which has gone to Chris Erickson.

Nice. I hope Deakes recovers from his injury and hopefully wins gold.

Its going to be tough with Nizhegorodov, Kanyakin and Schwazer who are all in good form.
