What's the death count going to be like lads?

Fuck yes i will be tuning to watch the true madmen sport

nothing compares.

o shit 50kms how long does that take?

depends

I think it's like 2-3 hours

only event i will watch live tbqh

gonna take some uppers to and downers simutaneously to see if i can survive, as well

Some guys never make it so forever for those guys.

>Sport is called walking
>Every participant runs
>Disqualifications are exceedingly uncommon

This is beyond meme tier

i think you gotta think a little harder

Tfw wagecuck and can't witness it

Looked it up, the world record is about 3.5 hours. So the event will probs be 4 hours long. Absolute madmen

who will be the first to die and more importantly can i bet on this?

This is why hydration is important kiddos.

*yaaaaaawn* ahhh morning wagecuck, how are those TPS reports coming along? Don't be late!

Hope we hit a #50 thread count to match each kilo, this time.

Rewatched the last 30-40 minutes of the 2012 death march after an user posted the youtube link in the last thread.

>mfw body after body shut down when crossing the finish line

>3.5 hours for 50km

I can't even do this when running
How can these fools with their awful stupid sport be so fast

>implaying the greeks will pay your retirement fees

[laughing loudly in greek]

What time does it start NZT lads?

give it here mate

23C-28C tomorrow in Rio, I wonder what will happen with these temperatures

>That guy literally shitting himself
Painful

link senpai

Lmao I checked the results for London and the Russian who won (and his teammates who placed 5&6) got stripped of their medal and their results annulled for doping. Fucking Russians man. Also apparently other countries dope a lot in this "sport". Wonder who'll be at the endurance drugs again this time?

>That polish guy who won 3 Olympics in a row

WEW

Why do you guys consider this harder than the marathon?

>tfw I made the OP image
>tfw I've literally been waiting 4 years for this event
I'm so fucking hyped lads, might try and make a video this time

check out this m8

webm death montage pls

They deserve it.

do cunts actually die or are you guys exaggerating

I'm no physio but I'm guessing it's got something to do with the restraint they need to keep from running.

idk I'm just making this shit up on the spot.

A lot of these competitors woulkd be 100% dead if they weren't given immediate medical attention the instant they finished.

It's an extremely inneficient means of locomotion, You use a lot more energy walking like this than you do jogging as you use all the wrong muscles and in ways they're not really supposed to work.

50 km > 42 km

Is there a wipe out counter?

>tfw going to miss it
Why even live tbẖ ƒam?

Here's a summary of the last one lads

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_50_kilometres_walk

>Defending Olympic champion Alex Schwazer was excluded from the event by the Italian National Olympic Committee after he failed a doping test

>At about 18K the pack lost one member as Yuki Yamazaki was given the red paddle taking the pack down to 10

> The leaders were reduced again at the 2 hour mark when Jaime Quiyuch was red paddled.

>In the next lap, Diniz was walking along the audience side of the course, while the rest of the Russian group walked down the center of the lane. Inexplicably, Diniz seemed to trip on the barricade alongside the course, crashing to the ground. Dazed on the ground, he did return to walking but later took a break at a water stop, the competition pulling away. He finished the race but was disqualified for taking drinks outside of the designated zone.

>Around 42K, Barrondo was DQed Tallent and Si were battling for second place with Bakulin a dozen seconds behind but fading. Kirdyapkin continued to increase his lead, squashing the Olympic record by more than a minute.

>Following the Olympics, Yerokhin's results were disqualified due to a doping ban imposed based on previous tests. Kirdyapkin also received a doping ban following the Olympics. On 24 March 2016 the court decided to disqualify all of his results dating back to 2009 and he was stripped of his medal and the results were adjusted.


The amount of drama contained within one single event is simply astonishing, I doubt Rio can live up to it desu but it will be fun anyway

>Finish 50km deathmarch

>Get DQ'd

holy fuck thats gold hahahh

4 hours

I can't even run for 30 minutes without taking a break

Surely this nigga's natty.

>He finished the race but was disqualified for taking drinks outside of the designated zone.

i think 11pm, but i'm not 100% sure.

>tfw asked for the day off

Here's a video of it

youtube.com/watch?v=ffYYgCEKD9o

>Running for 30 minutes without a break

Jesus Christ, you SHOULD be at the Olympics. You'd beat fucking everyone, m8. No but seriously, I can't run flat out for more than a minute tops before I completely gas out.

How far can you walk lads?

I can do 15km without any dramas

i can walk about 1,5km before i get too bored

I once walked 11 miles because I got stranded somewhere with no money for the bus/taxi. Didn't even take me that long, only about 4 hours. The next day I had the worst fucking pain in my legs though, pretty sure I pulled every muscle possible. It definitely helped that I was drunk at the time also.

DELET THIS

Lel I had a similar experience:

>get drunk as fuck at a house party
>have to walk 13 km home
>seems easy while drunk
>get up for next work day
>bloodshot eye and sore legs

>inb4 half of the competitors die and other half is kidnapped

About 10km before my legs give up. Not even fat, just really weak.

>tfw watched the entire 20k and got super hype for this
>tfw real life plans mean I'm going to miss it entirely

welp at least I'm h-having a life lads. hope it's dramatic for you

>tfw Westerners actually work on Fridays

All fucking day bitch

>tfw haven't responded to any of my friends' invites to hang tomorrow night

Once very four years lads. Besides we're getting "brunch" at a "hip" "cafe" on Sunday anyway.

t. semi-autistic normie

Quads confirm doping.

Fug might have to call out of work tomorrow

fucking change your plans. this happens once every 4 years,...

Most I did was around 20km with luggage from Schonefeld airport to our hotel because the taxi didn't come and the transportation system was closed.
It took us 8 hours because we got lost countless times

Based Melbourne

>the transportation system was closed
wat. there are buses running to and from schönefeld 24/7

cant man, don't want to either. going hiking on the coast and shit. these things are great but not worth cancelling real shit then just watching a bunch of dudes uneventfully walk 50 laps

Sydney actually
>tfw always a few years behind Melbourne's based brunch culture

The potato hash at Proud Mary is fuckin mint m8.

>Just checked the schedule
>It's starting at midday BST tomorrow
>Means it's going to be really early morning in the Americas
>tfw none of the Americas anons will be up to banter
>tfw since it's in the morning the heat won't be that much and the racewalkers won't all die

It's going to be a letdown isn't it?

>Brazils cheering reaches deafening levels as a non Brazilian death walker dies at the 20k mark

>not real shit
>uneventful
50km death march is the realist shit you can get

I think he meant "closed for Egyptians"

It'll be about 26 degrees, 70% humidity, sunny. Enough for death.

Imagine having to walk 50km in Brazil. How many of them are going to be mugged?

alright lad i'll trust your word

I'll consider it a failure if less than 7 deathmarchers DNF

we just have to hope the cloud cover burns off early.

I'll be just getting to my desk at work when it starts to get good

At what point in the race do they usually start dying?

Our guy, Diniz, it's one of the favorite he is the world record holder (3H32), multiple Euro champion and silver WC but he always Choke in Olympics, honestly that's the only sport that when a guy choke i can forgive easily, but


>mfw he gonna be beaten by a Brazilian

why is this """"""sport"""""" so funny lads?
Watching the London 50km in floods of tears.

Who else are the favourites?

Why do all race walkers look like queers faggots and retards?

Because they're mostly skinny white people

Because it's not a real sport

Just imagine: what kind of person thinks "wow this looks like a really cool sport I'd like to become an Olympic race walker"?

>arrive middle of the night because the ministry wants to save money and make us travel with transit
>im the only one who speaks german in a group of 8
>coach goes crazy after booked taxi not arriving
>keep asking people who either don't know or tell me Bahn is closed
>each one of us only got 10€ and the rest of the money was coming the next day
>coach demands we walk it (no smartphones at that time)
>after 8 hours of getting lost we arrive to Alexanderplatz
>use most of our combined money for 2 taxis to barely reach hotel
and it turns out you can only check in after 2PM
>egyptian planning and coordination
Travelling with an Egyptian judo team is a mistake you do once in your life

well, there are two nightbuses going into the city from schönefeld. probably should've checked that before arriving in the middle of the night tho

I will always feel for him, cause that moment was recorded and will be documented, forever.

Yeah but as I said >egyptian planning.
Berlin was pretty cool though, but there were lots of fucked up people there as well. Is it still like this?

pretty much. only with a lot more spanish and italian tourists

have you guys kicked out the fanatical muzzies yet?

sure

>spanish and italian tourists
We went to a shit hotel (hostel) in friedrichshain and they were drunk, half naked, fighting and screaming.
Germans were very kind though, but I found the hippies (lots of them in Berlin) a bit weird.
Partially

keep it up brosef

>We went to a shit hotel (hostel) in friedrichshain and they were drunk, half naked, fighting and screaming.
yeah, also they never move in groups smaller than 10. fucking annoying

>the hippies (lots of them in Berlin) a bit weird.
huh?

Can someone tell me the timestamp for when the guy shits himself

I don't know if you guys call them hippies but they have that hippie hair dyed in colours, some walk barefoot and they wear baggy (?) clothing.
I saw them do riots with police.

is turkbro gonna be in the 50k as well?

In this race everyone can choke or can be disqualified at any time, it really depend how you feel that day but there is some Champions like the Slovenian Toh, an Irich guy Heffernan, an Ecuadorian Chocho...

that's a bit of a ruse. It's a Swedish guy from a half marathon in 2008

>Micke Ekvall seems to have gotten over it, though. The runner who was once saddled with the nickname "bajsmannen" ("poop man") finished that 2008 race, the Göteborg half-marathon, in 21st place. In a post-race interview, a reporter asked him, "Did you ever consider stopping to clean off?"

>"No, I'd lose time," he explained, "If you quit once, it's easy to do it again and again and again. It becomes a habit."
