CORRECT: Classic Walking and heel action by Heffo (right)

This afternoon.

Men’s 50km walk eventual silver winner (cruelly beating Ireland’s Rob Heffernan into sixth).

Daniel McMahon fumes:

I thought this was a walking race, doesn’t one foot need to be on the ground?]

Anyone?

Meanwhile….

Race walker Evan Dunfee collected Canada’s 12th bronze medal at the Rio Olympics and 19th overall following a protest in the men’s 50-kilometre race Friday morning.

In the final two kilometres, Dunfee lost stride after Hirooki Arai bumped him during a collision and the Japanese athlete went on to cross the finish line third in a time of three hours 41 minutes 24 seconds, 14 one-hundredths of a second ahead of Dunfee…

    We should contest this.

    A Tallent contest if you will.

    Nah?

    Okay.

    We’ll leave it there so.

          Ha. It’s funny cuz we’re gay.

          Your humour is stuck in the 70s. Much like your politics.

            Nothing to do with your sexuality, jesus why bring that into everything, it’s so boring and only of intetest to yourself.

            It’s a picture of two eejits, that’s the long and the short of it.

            Forgot to say, you’re in blue and bitter bollox is in the patterned unitard to get more attention.

            Neil, give me a shout if you ever manage to make an appropriate comment on here – Id like to witness it.

            If you read this thread you would see that I made no comment first to Kieran, ahyeyzis or Anne. If they give it they should be prepared for a bit back.

            If you’re sour because I said you were wrong in saying what you did about the young girl in the Rose Of Tralee picture,
            learn from it. It’s unfair to comment on an adolescent in a derogatory way, why do you think there are so many self-harming and with eating disorder as it is.

            You seem confused… i see no mention from Ahjazis or myself – except this
            Had one too many perhaps with your beautiful daughter at lunch!!! !! !! ? ? ?

            It’s on the Banjaxed thread – how fitting for you.

            I rarely drink love, don’t need it. Hope you’re enjoying your day release – have a splendidly love filled Sunday.

            Love and hugs xxxx

            That’s the funny thing about knowing people’s real names.. You can cause all sorts of problems for them, when they’re up to no good.
            It doesn’t really matter when you’re nothing to hide yourself.

            Thread carefully ‘Catherine’. You nasty toothless hag.

          5. Catherine McEntee

            I told you yesterday, find someone else to entertain you, you’ve bored me to tears

            Don’t waste your day, you have to be back in for 6pm, tick tock

            I did read this thread and you did make comments to them. You also threw the first punch in that banjaxed thread.

            If you’re going to lie, try to have your bases covered.

            @ Cuppa

            That’s a snazzy little snap of ahjeyzis & Kieran Big Apple.

            That was the first comment from any of you.

            I know you’re not stupid and that you’re trying to rise me as I’m fiery, fair play to you.

            Your words love. I didn’t pay any attention to the banjaxed thread. On THIS thread you picked a fight. On THIS thread you said you didnt.

          10. Catherine McEntee

            @ Rotide

            You’ve injected yourself into this half-cocked – if you’d have done so when the situation was ‘live’ you may have been some use to me.

            Time for your afternoon snooze now sweetcheeks.

          11. Anne

            @Catherine.

            Your arse festering personality is coming through there ‘Catherine’.. better do some xxx’s and talk about the beautiful children you brought into the world, and how wonderful all babies are, before you give the game away, and start to sound like a certain rotten toothed nighttime drunken contributor that you supposedly skype with.

            Can you skype yourself btw? I suppose anything is possible really, when you consider you can have full blown conversations with yourself on the internets.

            You horrible cretin. xxx

          12. Anne

            Why the fupp would I want to email you?

            Go away out of it.. All set for pen pals love.. Toodles xxx

          13. Catherine McEntee

            @ Anne

            Do you actually think I wish to correspond with you?

            Quit posting pointless, childish, goading comments under my posts.

            If you’d have emailed me we could have resolved whatever your problem is. I tried.

          14. Anne

            Ask Rotide or Neilo or Ahjazis or Kieran to email you to resolve the problem.
            I’ve no interest, thanks.

            I’m not goading anyone dear. And on more than one occasion you’ve left comments for me, that I’ve ignored.. comments insinuating that you know what I look like (when I said you can’t polish a turd, you said I did all right in that regard.. on a few occasions too).. You probably don’t realise what a sad nosey individual you seem like C_theri_e.

            Trot along now and maybe some fellow drunk will take you up on the offer to be your pen pal.. Toodles xx

          15. Catherine McEntee

            @ Anne

            You’ve lost me on the ‘nosey’ comment. How would I know what you look like? Catch yourself on.

            The thing with you is that you don’t want peace, you prefer to have a few on the go that you’re sniping at.

            Rotide is well known for trolling, as are you and Kieran, yous two come on late at night to leave snarky comments then take to your cots til the next evening – well played out routine

          16. Catherine McEntee

            @ Anne

            In some posts you’re saying I’m memes and in others you refer to me as not being. You could have emailed and then spoke on the phone to me.

            Memes is nothing to do with this. I was with him, I’m not now.

            If you don’t want to speak on the phone and end this sh!te then just stop posting msgs to me.

            Good day.

          17. Catherine McEntee

            Well if it isnt Miss Rotorua!!!!

            You’re a fine one to talk, personality of a cactus

          18. Catherine McEntee

            Roll up, roll up!!!!!!!

            Anyone else like to have a little quibble before my hormones settle and you don’t get such an acidic bite?

          19. Anne

            Speak on the phone? Are you like septic peg or something.. an 1550 number is it to hear all about what the futures holds for me. I don’t think so.

            C_ther_ne love you’re off your game.

            T_odles. xx Problem solved.

          Weird-looking yoke aiming for domination of the universe?
          Well, then, yes.

    Heffernan’s an awful man, remember his tweet about the Roma? Why do we always have loons as Olympians (Kate, Heffernan, DeBrun), etc.

  3. graven

    They have to give the appearance of having one foot on the ground at all times – the reality, as the freeze-frame shows – is different. I noticed similar levitation during last weekend’s race (the 20k I think?). There are, supposedly, judges watching out for this to card the participants who appear to breach the rules, but yeah…

  4. tommy

    The rules state something along the lines of one foot needs to appear to be on the ground at any one time. In practice that is very difficult. When watched in slow-mo they are all breaking the rules. In real time if the technique is right the judges are lenient. It is very subjective and the word appear makes it more about the spirit of the rules

  5. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

    ‘shopped.

    I called it first.

    I would also like to use this opportunity to call out the OP for not having their own feet on the ground.

    -Nobody gives a thrupenny bit about your ‘evidence’.
    This is the Olympics, not your kids school’ Sports Day.’.

    Would you not cop yourself on?

    1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq

      Hold on a minute…some idiot in Ireland has a screenshot of a bloke levitating….
      Stop all the medals immediately….this is serious…

      Yeah, I know…but it’s not ME who makes it’s so ridiculous.

      1. Stumpy

        Not that reductive, in fairness. There are more pointless ‘sports’ at the Olympics…..but I’d struggle to come up with more than 5.

        1. jeremy kyle

          Just reading through the list of sports at it there, I think you’re being very generous.

    1. rotide

      As opposed to medals for running fast, throwing things, jumping things etc.

      All sports are pointless when you put it like that.

  6. Cop On

    There are no medals for coming fourth, fifth, or sixth…

    The Irish “Best Fans In the World” syndrome applied to a walk-off…
