I don't get it. Why would he NOT run?

Bahaha! What a hilarious bit of trivia!

lol.. That answers that question.

I actually watched this video just to see what race-walking was. I never knew this sport even existed...

Wikipedia says that these guys walk faster than I run.

Adding video to channels (Animation) - requested by silvercord.

Shit. I just lost $20 to my gf. Canadian dollars, too.

($20 CAD = $21 USD)

if you're betting canadian dollars, you'd better be sure!

I'll be much more careful in the future.

I've seen several clips from this show before, what's it called? It's like like a bizarre mirror-world version of QI.. in a sense, heh.

The comedy is in the question, not the experiment. But now I have another question: Why would you believe a group of ancient warriors want to kill you?

@cheesemoo: Wow, your running speed is in Wikipedia?

If it had been a ninja, there would have been a flash on the screen, and then a headless corpse lying on the track.

He should have turn and fought them!

It would have been epic!

One man, against Samurai!

Just to see if they would play along.

I have to disagree. Only the poorest skilled ninjas would have appeared as a flash on the screen.
