“WHO? Come on people, don't all rush at once to buy a copy of his book now! Am I the only one who thinks 'walking races' are beyond ludicrous and a throwback to the Mickey Mouse events they used to have in the Olympics about 100 years ago? If they're going to chuck wrestling out of the Games then how on earth is this still in?”
