The men smashed unfortunately

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.

They’re actually shifting and would beat most recreational park run runners
Still stoopid.
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.

Interesting that both Romanian double sculls use a very high (comparatively) stroke rate.
