I never understood why Artistic Swimming was an athletics event until they put cameras under the water. Now I'm prepared to believe they are the most impressive athletes in the world. Their body control is unbelievable. I have no idea how they do verticals. You have to see them to believe them.

However hard marathon running is, at least the scenery changes more often- even with the long loops that the Olympics use.
And that was the last 50k walk in Olympic history (for now, I guess).

Judges have to follow along to evaluate every step of every competitor for all 31 miles - judging the race walking might be the most grueling effort in the entire olympics.
