Talk:Jesper Olsen (runner)/Archive 1

Untitled
How did he get from Vladivostok to Tokyo and Shannon to London? There had to be a boat or plane in there. --AW (talk) 07:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * He flew from Vladivostok to Japanese west coast. He ran from Shannon to London, except the boat Dublin-Holyhead. One can not walk on water, so an exception was needed. He also needed to take a taxi along a long bridge over a river in the US since running was illegal and there were cameras. --217.209.46.40 (talk) 20:22, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

so Jesper Olsen was walking around the world, taking boat and planes? Jesper took a taxi during his run around the world? Go figure...! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.124.218 (talk) 14:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * He ran everywhere except where it was impossible. --198.208.243.251 (talk) 14:14, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but if it was possible for a TAXI to drive across a bridge then it was possible for Jesper Olsen to run across that same bridge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.122.64.89 (talk) 13:23, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes but not legal. The bridge was long and he would been arrested if trying. --BIL (talk) 21:14, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Jesper Olsen (runner) took a taxi whilst saying he was running around the world, therefore he skipped a part of the run, when he could have got a police escort or special permission. That's what police escorts are for! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.122.64.89 (talk) 12:23, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Jesper Olsen (runner) took a taxi for part of his world walk..? tut tut. that's not good. Sounds like the integrity was compromised.

I have included a section on controversy pertaining to Jesper Olsen who claims to be "running" around the world. The inclusion is critical because, on land, where it IS possible to run, he decided to use transportation. I am not making any comments about travelling over water where it is impossible for ALL humans to run. But on land where it IS possible to run, Jesper Olsen decided to take a car, therefore the inclusion of a controversy section is entirely appropriate. has he cheated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheLongestRoadToIndiaGate (talk • contribs) 16:02, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

(see the CIRCUMNAVIGATION page) -- "Jesper Olsen in 2004, Colin Angus in 2006, Jason Lewis in 2007 and Rosie Swale-Pope in 2008 completed circumnavigations using solely human power, though none[clarification needed] conformed to Guinness guidelines." He can't say he ran around the world when he didn't conform to Guinness guidelines.... and he uses his own web blog as a reference? This should be erased. Who is this guy when he has not acheieved anything tangible? 87.82.116.134 (talk) 17:16, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
