Surprisingly (not) I'm a match for a Serbian water polo player and two Team GB rowers. That's what you get for being 1.97m tall and weighing 97 kilos.

I'm ok at rowing, but have never played water polo.

[quote=ahwiles ]that walkers not walking!

Well they don't do they? For some reason I was recently reading about the rules for race walking, and apparently it's only a foul if a human judge can see both feet off the floor, so they're allowed a certain amount of flight based on human perception. Apparently they train to be just within those rules, rather than to actually try and keep both feet on the floor - well you would, wouldn't you, but they're not actually training to walk.
