| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Dec 04 06:51PM -0600 "Calvin": > 4 In which sport can one win a race without crossing a finishing line? This is what I had in mind, although I wasn't sure if it really existed: http://www.belgianwalkingassociation.com/en/world-ranking-24-uur-race-walk-women (Note that the numbers are written with a decimal comma, i.e. 189,247 km means what we'd call 189.247 km.) However, a less targeted search shows that similar events exist both for running and for cycling, and for all I know, maybe for other sports. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "Accuracy is many ways more important speed." msb@vex.net | --David Kleinecke My text in this article is in the public domain. |
