Description

Race walking is a type of foot race in which the competitor must maintain contact (to the human eye) with the ground. Thus, before lifting their back foot, their front foot must make contact with the ground. The only other additional rule, is that the front leg must remain straight (not bent at the knee) from initial contact with the ground until it is vertical - this prevents a squatted running style of competition.
