    Nice I'm happy I've got one!

    I'll delete it or let it be locked in an hour or so! I just know there is some anti-racewalking people on here who when they see this their faces will light up with joy before been crushed putting a smile on my face

    I think all racewalking should be done on April 1st. One big race, 200km, throw them all in. Juveniles, juniors, senior, masters, men, women, judges and all 8 supporters. Have a carnage km every 20k in which they can do want they want. Bend knees, run, punch, kick, bite, scratch, run, then back to the 'rules'. Kind of Race Walking Meets Cage Fighting.

    The April 1st UFC Racewalk Classic. I'd watch that!

    Sort of like a royal rumble in a 20kmX20km cage so we walk really far away but like not too far we will eventually be found and killed by more masculine walkers!
    My money would be on Jamie Costin beast over 50k and just a beast in general

    True, he has a set of shoulders that would put the Bull Hayes to shame!

    Just reading on Athletic's Ireland twitter page that Usain Bolt is in Ireland training until Easter Sunday. Is it an April Fools?

    Any evidence about??:D

    At a stretch, I can see him doing most of the field events, shot putt no problem, Long Jump no problem, high jump at a stretch. 10k - don't think so, race-walking - ha.
