How Hard Can It Be To Beat Olympic Race Walkers? - How Hard Can It Be?

Video Overview & Insights

A surprising number of men think race walking is just “walking funny.”

Love love love this series. Cant wait to watch everything and anything you put out 🎉

— @diontekang1193

Our host Jonathan Bennett puts that confidence to the test by inviting a group of guys to learn from Olympian and 14-time U.S. National Champion Miranda Melville, Olympian, 17-time U.S. National Champion, American record holder, and World Championships competitor Nick Christie, and two-time Olympian, seven-time U.S. National Champion, and longtime USATF race walking referee Allen James to see if race walking is really as easy as it looks.

Whoever thinks they can beat an olympian athlete in anything just like THAT needs a serious reality check - it's unbelievable to me that anyone would even think they could succeed in that.

But more important: what IS a slimetender???

Amazing video. Loved watching the immediate attitude shift as soon as the Olympians took off😂

@gabbyjo120

As a young racewalker I love this! Also Miranda and Nick are my favs! Hopefully can see them again soon! ❤

@JanePschierer-r8z

Please do men who think they can beat a woman in MMA or fencing or kickboxing or any combat sport

@MeAndMyselves

Why did you choose THAT frame for bao

@koiyyy_desu

I seem to recall that they reviewed a professional race walker race in slow motion and about 80% or something had both feet off the ground at some point.

@MartijnPennings

I’m gay this is slow to me

@jacksnipe2441

My answer would have been no Fing way. They walk a marathon faster walking than I can run. By a significant margin. But my friend and I used to try to see how fast we could race walk on the treadmill at the gym. I think we managed to get somewhere just above 11mph but it wasn't sustainable. There people do around 5min miles I think.

@markmoylan5924

What I've learned is that the easier a sport looks, the harder it actually is

@noodlepoodle3582

Do these guys say stuff like they can do to get featured on a video or do they actually believe the shit they say?

@sangeethasriraam462

Nothing like humbling a mediocre man

@typ8568
