How is a race walking foul judged How is a race walking foul determined?

Race walking is a sport developed on the basis of daily walking, the rules stipulate that the support leg must be straight, from one foot support to two foot support, before the heel of the swinging leg touches the ground, the toe of the back leg must not leave the ground, to ensure that there is no "vacance" phenomenon, and this is the main difference between race walking and running.

There are two core rules for race walking. First and foremost, race walkers must always have at least one foot in contact with the ground. Secondly, the front leg must always be straight from the moment it hits the ground until the vertical position, and the knee joint must not be bent.

There are 6 9 full-time race walking referees to supervise the athletes. According to the rules, they cannot use any equipment to help them judge, and can only rely on their own eyes to determine whether an athlete has committed a foul. When a race walker sees signs of violating a race walker's technique, he or she should give a yellow card warning and report it to the referee after the match.

When an athlete travels in a manner that violates the rules of the race walking technique and exhibits a visible take-off or knee bending, the race walking referee must present a red card to the race walking referee. When the race walking referee receives three red cards from different race walking referees for the same athlete, the athlete is disqualified from the competition and the referee or the referee's assistant will show him or her the red card to notify him/her.
