Salmonberries Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Brilliant show of intestinal fortitude on display here as the 99 year old Orville Rogers reels in 92 year old Dixon Hemphill for a photo finish victory at their highly anticipated 60 m showdown at the USATF Masters Indoor Track and Field Champions.

Phil_314 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Good stuff. We'd be lucky to be able to move so nimbly at their age (if we can even move or be alive then). Heck, they probably walk faster than some of my friends in their early 20's do. Link to comment

luckylager Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 With the help of bionic knees and ankles, I will beat their time(s), in 2077. I might need a new shoulder and back by then too, but I'm gonna do it! Link to comment
ILL BILL NECRO Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thanks for keeping me up to date with all the race walking current events. Life gets busy sometimes and race walking might get pushed to the back burner. None the less, mine and the collective cdc's passion for race walking thanks you. Link to comment
Salmonberries Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 No racewalking thread here would be complete without a tip of the cap to the all-Fiji quintuple record holder, the great Dip Chand. You rock Dip! Link to comment
Ghostsof1915 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 You sure this isn't the race to the office with Dave Pratt and Bro Jake? Link to comment
Ghostsof1915 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 He takes a break for a smoke, and a pint. That's awesome! Doesn't matter if it's 4 hours. Half Marathon. Link to comment
