Race Walk: The Race Walk will be judged using the ‘No Advantage’ concept. Athletes who are unable to fully comply with the required ‘straightened’ leg, but are not gaining any speed advantage because of a soft knee, then judges shall apply the ‘No Advantage’ concept and not issue a yellow or red card. The ‘No Advantage’ is there to allow for a slight bending of the knee, where a perfectly straight leg cannot be achieved but where these walkers are seriously trying to Race Walk correctly.
