Tom Bosworth 1 mile world record 5.31.08 London Diamond League 2017

Right. I dunno why this is even classified as speedwalking. This is jogging...and technically running speed, above 10 km/h.

Walks faster than I can run

This is how I walk to the door when someone holds it open for me

I don't care if people think this isn't real walking. It looks cool as shit, those legs flowing nicely, and those sassy ass hips.

This is running, slow the speed down to 1/4 speed (.25 in settings). I just did 2.5m today, for the military, in order to have it count you have to have one foot touching the ground at all times. On nearly every step, everyone in this video has both feet off the ground. That's a disqualification. The rules rely on "human perception" when "at speed" you can see it, then slowing it down confirms it. Every person in this competition is a cheater and should be called out for it. Never knew speed walking was such a joke.

I slowed it down, he is clearly running, it that simple, not at all walking

You mean to murder people without any evidence. Please note: God's watching.

i cant even run that fast

I can beat that record

This is jogging get outta here

Thats running no way you can keep walking that quickly they re running 😂

That guy out in front is not walking, neither are some of the other guys. Don’t you always have to have at least 1 foot down at all times. I’ve slowed this video down and zoomed in.

That was really awesome.

It looks like they all need to take a shit

Well, I'm still pretty early on in my build, but I set up a great base when I was younger, with a jack of all trades build, along with extra points into intelligence and creativity, until relatively recently when I decided that the jack of all trades method wasn't keeping up, and started investing heavily into specific areas, such as calisthenics, martial arts, coding, and a few others.
I also realized that I forgot to turn off auto investment into creativity when I was supposed to, and since I was already over investing into that trait, it has become too late to stop now. I can stop investing points, but creativity is creating creativity. I have unlocked toon force, my mental imagery is good enough that I can animate a whole fight scene at 60fps, and I think it's starting to become a singularity.
Besides that, I have an overall good and balanced build ready to take on anything that doesn't include throwing a ball. I don't know how I forgot about the most basic throwing skill, but yea, if I threw a chair at you, you would not need to worry, I would probably miss.

Detectable to the human eye or not , they are all running and so should be disqualified on slow mo replays. At least then in future they will Stick to the rules. You clearly know when both your feet are in the air at the same time. That's why I take these times with a pinch of salt. A time of 7 mins with proper walking would be impressive. Bosworth running is more pronounced than the rest.

There running with extra steps 😂

They are actually running.

this is the silliest sport on earth haha.

it looks easy but they are walking faster than me running a threshold run, and i'm quite fit myself, it's crazy

10x

Lool "I am looking forward to this". Sure thing

Got nothing on Oliver Sykora

I wonder if it hurt Bosworth at all to go down on his knees like that? He's practically skin and bone. If he falls 3ft, wouldn't he be at a greater risk for bodily injury?

I know this must be really hard, but it just looks so goofy 🤣

The most ridiculous sport ever. Might as well run

Now I want to learn how to speed walk so I can do my PFTs for the marines

Jogging ahh

me every time I am late for school:

This junk looks ridiculous

I predict racewalking will eventually have tech build into shoes or external tech that will give some leeway on the contact at all times rule. There will be an allowance within bounds, similar to the bent elbow in cricket when bowling.

😂😂😂 more like a brisk jog. Null and Void

This that sport that stated when two fellows had to go potty really bad and there was only one porta-john?

they are ALL RUNNING!!! all are cheaters

If you play it at 0.25x, you can see everyone should be disqualified

sexy

Put the playback speed down to 0.25 and youll see that theyre running lol

This isn’t exactly walking is it. It’s the ministry of silly runs.

You guys should understand the rules before you make any real assumptions. These guys walk faster than half of us can run

Commentators talking as is if this is a real sport

This is 😂 corny.

If you slow the footage down to 25%, you can see pretty much everyone has both their feet above the ground at some points when they are racing.

Give us a break, what a bunch of hooey, just a silly way of running. If they wore electronic chips to prove that 2 feet are not off the ground at any time they'd all be disqualified.

el britanico se nota mucho que pierde demasiado el contacto con el suelo. igual el compatriota

3:35/km.  Don't make me laugh. This isn't even close to walking.  ALL of the "walkers" are lifting on EVERY stride.  This is just running with a different technique.  They should all have been disqualified in the first 25 m.  What a farce of a sport this is.  If they can't enforce the rule of maintaining the contact with the ground then the event has no validity any more, as if it ever did.
