Ever heard of race walking? Me neither. Don't worry it actually is a sport. It's a 20 km footrace for men and women (or 50 km for men only) and it's a legitimate Olympic sport. "How do they not just run?" you ask? Well the official rules state that you must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking made it's first appearance at the Olympics in 1904. According to Wikipedia, race walking is often considered an artificial and slightly controversial sport. Why is it controversial? I'm not 100% sure, but I know what sport I'm training for in 2016! Remember never underestimate a race walker, you never know when someone might come up to you and say walk fast for 20 km or I'll kill you....
strut strut strut!!!!!
