Racewalking
Racewalking is an Olympic sport that is a race of high speed walking. Athletes must complete the course having one foot planted on the ground at all times. This race is a long-distance discipline and typically ranges from 3 kilometres to 100 kilometres. Judges must analyse each athlete and award disqualifications if the racewalking style becomes too 'run-like' and both feet are in the air at once.
