(CHN, Apr 22): IAAF Race Walking Challenge weekend started in China Let’s figure out how to build our sport, not confuse people when they get interested…. However, the right for our sport to forge its path as a popular sport which everyone does sometime in their lives, is hampered by rules that are hard to explain without a sixpack of an adult beverage, a slide rule, chalkboard and two hours. ![]() Do we want to be soccer (or football, as my friends in Europe and UK call it)? Nope. Also, specialists rules, that only geeks can understand, undermine the ability of our sport to be popularized. I believe, that the pushing of records is the worst thing that we can do for our sport. Conditions had not been like that at Boston since 1974, when, runners of that era will agree, it was the perfect storm. That the Boston Marathon course is a tough course should also, not be in dispute. That Mutai and Mosep are amazing athletes should not be in dispute. A ten mile an hour headwind helped along the course, but, at the end of the day, the 2:03:02 to 2:03:06 marathon victory of Geoffrey Mutai and Moses Mosep will go down in history as the best marathon ever, under all conditions. Ryan Hall, pushing the pace, from mile 1 to 30k, kept the pace, “honest”. Geoffrey Mutai and Moses Mosep, battling, over the final miles for first place in the 2011 Boston Marathon, made marathon history. ![]()
