Tomorrow, 9:30 pm Central on NBC is what I saw. [Reply]

The main rule is that part of one foot must be on the ground at all times. Even I could see some who are essentially jogging. There are a handful of judges watching, but they can't see everything, and unless it is extremely egregious, it seemed that you could get up to 4 warnings before getting DQ'd. In the 20 minutes I watched, several were DQ'd and many seemed comfortable seeing what they could get away with until they got a couple of warnings.
This has the makings of a great column that could be published in Walking magazine.

That might be the dumbest Olympic sport, although I'm not really sure why synchronized diving needs to exist.
Walking is pretty pointless, but the dumbest Olympic sport will always be horse dancing. How the fuck do you win a gold medal with a dancing horse? [Reply]
