    I feel like the most difficult part of this sport is resisting the urge to just run.

    • @Stacie45
      @Stacie45 6 лет назад +264

      People say that but it doesn't make sense. It is like doing a technical stroke in swimming like butterfly stroke or breast stroke. Freestyle is the fastest stroke but if you are swimming breast stroke you don't get the urge to break into a crawl. You are doing the stroke you are doing.
      Actually the hardest parts of racewalking at the world class level are avoiding injury and avoiding disqualification.

    I've tried a walking race before. One of them would literally slow briefly to give me tips as he lapped me, since he was so far ahead of the actual competitive walkers. Its not really exhausting like people on here think it is. At our pace we can't move fast enough to need to pant, at their pace they've had to train all day every day so they're obviously in far better shape than one would need to jog at that pace. I did end up with the strangest combination of sore muscles, however. And it is incredibly difficult as far as technique goes, even as a pole vaulter I found it difficult to manage to successfully execute the tips given. For beginners it can be reasonably difficult to not break the rules which demand things like one foot be on the floor at all times, and I forget a number but possibly to do with not bending knees and the like. If one is trying to walk at a fast but non-race pace it isn't too difficult, but the moment you start to race it gets tricky. But since they've likely spent tens of thousands of hours or more exclusively race-walking its second nature to them. Like with most events (pole vault included) you've done the same activity so many times that it can sometimes be harder trying to avoid thinking about what you're doing, like breathing its easy until you start to think about what you're doing.

(1st place), elite runners (male) can complete a 20k under 60 mins (below 3.00 min/km pace) while an average man can complete it in around 2 hours (6.00 min/km pace), so before you say that a 4 min/km pace is easy to an average person consider that you are probably not an average man if 4 min/km is easy for you.

Top level Racewalking Officials train for many hours to become adept at seeing the flaws that break the two rules governing this sport. These people must pass a rigorous testing proceedure to make it to these high levels in the sport.

    OK, so what are the rules?
    I'm watching @3:03 in slow motion and he's definitely not walking. He's completely leaving contact with the ground every stride.
    My thought that you had to stay in contact with the ground at all times was obviously wrong. Can anyone explain what makes it a "walk" then?

    • @minionguy6996
      @minionguy6996 3 года назад

      Hi. You are correct. Rule #1 The walker’s front foot must be on the ground when the rear foot is raised. Rule #2 The front leg must straighten when it makes contact with the ground. If a walker gets to many violations it results in disqualification of the competitor.

    • @maverickspirit208
      @maverickspirit208 2 года назад +1

      At .25 speed you can clearly see that they are all doing this. Every single one of them is taking air time between strides. How is this considered walking when it's actually a deformed run?

      Andrei Gabriel True, there is a flight phase. But racewalking is judged by the human eye, and we only see 24 frames per second. The officials must pass many levels of training and years of work to be accredited for judging this sport. It is tough to become this good at being able to judge these athletes. :)

    How on earth are they all not disqualified? They are all catching pretty good air in their stride and don't have one foot in contact with the ground at all times.

    • @stevendibernardo1015
      @stevendibernardo1015 6 лет назад +4

      imapieface "As judged by the human eye" is in the rulebook, due to the flight phase. We can have a very small flight phase during the progression of steps taken in forward progress and not be DQ'd. The consensus of the independent judges can disqualify an athlete even after the race is over, because the cards that are turned in during a race might not yet all be credited to each athlete. Gold Medals have been lost after the race is over, because races in this sport are NOT Official until the Head Judge reports the official results to the scorer.

    Watching at .25x, there often appears like there could be a very short period of time when both feet are off the ground. However, since the judges judge at normal speed, they will only catch the more egregious violations which seems fair to me.

Setiap kali melangkah kaki depan harus menyentuh tanah sebelum kaki belakang meninggalkan tanah. Kaki yang digerakkan maju ke depan harus diluruskan sejak saat persentuhan pertama dengan tanah hingga badan mencapai posisi vertikal.
