Perez wins men's walk by nearly a minute

Ecuador's Jefferson Perez walked through searing heat and into the record books when he became the first man to win three successive world 20-kilometer walk titles on Sunday. The 33-year-old, his country's first Olympic champion, collapsed over the line after a grueling one hour, 22 minutes and 20 seconds, his legs twiching with violent cramps. (WCSN, WCSN.com)

Funny to watch. Still can't believe this is an Olympic sport, but not wrestling, which was part of the ORIGINAL Olympics.

You ever want to see something hilarious, go to a public track and watch a fat woman try to speed walk her way into shape. I honestly need to buy a very good HD camera with a zoom lens & past some of that for you all.
