      @voodoo the only saving grace is the drama of getting warned. Who can forget the third warning when Jane Saville had the finish line in sight at the Sydney games.

      Then the ensuing pile on from the Aussie media.

          They'd probably move a lot faster if they took the carrots out of their bums...

                        Nah. Defined sport with defined rules you play as hard as you can. Butterfly and race walking are both events where you're required to race slowly.

                                Slower of course but ridiculous to say slowly. Its certainly not easier. Ultimately they are in fact operating within defined rules and doing it as hard as they can.

                                    It's the butterfly of athletics.

                                    It is to running what handball is to basketball/football

                                    Handball is brilliant

                                    Sure. I love seeing school sports promoted to adult past times.
