BM: [Update] They are still walking, man, these cats look so, I don't know, Olympian with their walking.

BM: [Update] OMG it looks like the Latvian is about to break from the pack.

Race walking is one of those quirky sports that makes the Olympics interesting. Given that there is baseball, however, I'm much more likely to stay up over night to blog that. There's crew of course. I'm familiar with that, and can write sentences like, "That coxswain is really getting those men to stroke!" and, "The bow just caught a crab!"
