Walking is much faster than regular walking and is different from all other track events because the right technology is critical to successful performance. The 20km and 50km Olympic events are extreme tests of endurance, so the training reflects the training of all other endurance athletes.
competition rules
Race walkers must adhere to two key rules based on technology.
First, the walker must always be in contact with the ground, which means that the toes of the hind legs must not be lifted from the ground until the heel of the forefoot is lowered. They need to maintain a good shape and are usually punished to bend a particular knee while it is under the body or may keep the foot out of the ground.
Second, the walker must ensure that their front legs remain straight when the foot hits the ground [not bent at the knees] until the legs are ahead of the body, ie, vertically.
