Dunfee could have had a bronze if he didn't get bumped by that Japanese guy

As someone who's a race walking expert (ie: I watched 45 minutes of it this morning), they should totally review it.

I watched a little bit this morning, where the 4 or 5 guys caught Dunfee. It looked to me like 2 or 3 of those guys were picking their feet up too much. Running, I guess you'd call it.

4th place is the best finish by a Canadian in the 50km race walk since a 6th place finish in 1960 by Alex Oakley. Dunfee set a new Canadian record today at 3:41:38

I thought running a marathon was nuts, the 50km walk is insane.

Inbee Park at -12. Lydia Ko charging up the leaderboard with a 30 on the front 9.
Brooke Henderson struggling, drops back to -7 with a tough putt to save par coming up.

Ko actually was 29 on the front (-6). Seems to be low scores to be had. With so many players yesterday hitting birdie on the last four holes Ko could go sub 60 today.

it's weird. some players going low but it's windy so other players struggling. Jutanagarn and Henderson are going the wrong way.

If anyone can judge a hip check, it'll be us.

Wow these TKD girls bout they're showing (GER vs RUS) is terribad. Super timid and then once they start going they lose all form. At least they're starting to get mad.

Keep those hands up. Have they stopped teaching blocking since I quit???
