    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.

                              That was great. Pulled away in the third quarter and just had enough to hold on in the last 200m. If there was another 100m it might have been different.

                                        It's the butterfly of athletics.

                                        It is to running what handball is to basketball/football

                                        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.

                                        No they're not. They could run or swim properly.

                                          That was great. Pulled away in the third quarter and just had enough to hold on in the last 200m. If there was another 100m it might have been different.

                                          Great job to build the lead and hang on. Another medal sitting down
