Racewalking News: Rogers Upsets Hemphill in Thrilling Battle

[Megaterio Llamas]

Any racewalking thread around here has include a tip of the cap to the all-Fiji quintuple record holder, the great Dip Chand.



You rock Dip!

Good luck finding an image of him with both feet off the ground in competition. A true credit to the sport.

Who would win? 20 fair and square race walkers against the entire UFC roster?

If the 20 race walkers were all truly fair and square, Dana's crew wouldn't stand a chance.

Straight up

Dip Chand's five separate Fijian records have stood for over fifteen years now. Track and field records normally don't stand for anything close to that long. That's a victorious Dip Chand standing beside his brother Pradeep in the first picture after the Fijian racewalking Chand brothers finished 1-2 (seen in action in the second picture below) at the prestigious Seaside Walk in Suva Fiji.

Dip Chand is a Fijian legend in the sport of racewalking.

And never with both feet off the ground.

This. This right here. This is what's all about.

If you take up race-walking to avoid running as so many sadly do in this day and age of techno-gizmos, you'd do well to remember Dip and Pradeep. They will personally fuck you up.

Dip and Pradeep are the Nick and Nate Diaz of race walking. Straight up.

Yep. Dip and Pradeep Chand are honorable walkers. If you watch the video the two Chinamen are both cheating like mutherfuckers but only the slower one gets nabbed. That Chinaman in second place's technique had completely fallen apart and he was openly running at that point but the official turned a blind eye, there's just so much politics in the officiating it makes you wonder if they Asian gambling syndicates have compromised the integrity of the sport. They talk about the rise of Chinese racewalking all the time but if you ask me those Chinamen are a bunch of rule breakers. There's no racewalking honor over there in China I'm afraid.

[Winnson]

100% correct boss. The Chinese have no compunction at all about cheating to win. It's in their DNA. I have never heard of a decent Chinese cricket player either. No honor.

It seems no one can beat the Koreans at gaming. Starcraft, League of Legends, whatever.

At the world level of gaming, the Koreans always stomp.

They suck at race walking though, I think.
