No, we have running, and walking,

and in between them we have jogging.

I refuse to learn another mode of bipedal mobility.

Poland has world famous champion in fast walking - Rober Korzeniowski. He won a lot of contests also Olympic. But he finished his sport career.
I like walking but I don't care if one of my food is always on the earth. :)

I am pretty sure he trained one of the Irish guys , they really do go at some speed I don’t think you could really call it walking the technique they use while being extremely fast is horrendous on the joints , as for the port potties , when exercising all the blood goes from the organs to the muscles so the bowl’s / bladder do not have priority as soon as they stop the blood rushes back to these organs


Ps
I hear Sumo are trying to get in to the olympics

Sumo is great wrestling sport. I like watch it.
Japan is not dominated now in this sport so why not put this sport in to the olympics games.
We also have some good competitors.
