In addition, the rule that the standing leg knee from when the foot hits the ground, until it is right under the body, should be stretched. Only when the leg right below the body is bent the knee may be.

The official definition according to the KNAU contest rules is:


 * Article 230 race walking
 * Definition
 * 1. Walk is the move through steps that the contact with the ground, as far as visible (with the human eye), continuously maintained. The front leg must be stretched (that is not bent in the knee) from the time of first contact with the ground until such time that this leg in vertical position.

By this rule, and because the newly extended by as much as possible with the hips to swing, get the walkers that particular snelwandelloop. During a snelwandelrace keep some jurors in the holes or the athletes walk according to the regulations.

As a member of the jury a violation notes he can do two things:

At the third warning the athlete is disqualified. The chef snelwandeljury shows him a red sign and he must leave the competition. Also an athlete can still be disqualified after the finish. The third x or the third red circle will not be put on the Board after the athlete has been taken out of the contest.
 * At a violation on the brink he can give a reprimand or notice by showing a yellow sign with a sign. In the case of loss of soil contact is that a wave, with a bent knee is that a >. A juror should not repeat the same rebuke to the same athlete.
 * If the juror already has given a reprimand or a very clear infringement he can give a warning . He then writes the starting number of the athlete on. the athlete is informed by a sign along the trail on which a cross behind his race number or red circle is. A juror should give one warning to an athlete.

Snelwandelraces are usually held on a track in which the athletes have multiple rounds. In this way the jury sees all athletes in any case a number of times stopping by. The possibility of disqualification often leads to emotional scenes. Notorious is the case, for example, that the athlete's Jane Saville in sight of a gold medal at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney for her home crowd got told the red card.

The judging leads to all sorts of discussion. Athletes who on still video images or photos with both feet off the ground turn out to be, don't always get a warning. With the human eye is not easy to see that "live", partly due to the high cadence or walking in a group. Checking soil contact by electronic means, however, is not entered. Reason for this is that snelwandelwedstrijden and training on keeping this level would make very expensive. In addition, always useful or the athlete for example was not pushed. ==Technique[ Edit] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The purely on efficiency-oriented movements of a race Walker on the spectators at a match is often a very strange impression, especially at the start of a large field of participants. In addition, runs a race Walker usually very upright and put one foot are pretty much right for the other. The pace of the race Walker is created by the speed with which he makes only a flat, created by explicitly setting down of the back leg and then by settling the front foot continue. The standing leg stretching in the rules prescribed is offset by tilting the pelvis to the side opposite to that of the movement of the shoulder girdle. Also the corners of the arms, that evenly with the passes go along, is very important for the pace. Stamina, strength and to some extent also the length of the body, which can be beneficial for the length of the pass, are conditions to be a good race Walker. In the training is mainly focused on building great endurance. ==Distances<span class="mw-editsection" len="328" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">There are, in addition to the Olympic disciplines, basically many distances that can be hiked. This can happen on the running track, or on the road. The Olympic numbers are kept on the road. The IAAF has separate world records for the 20 km on the road and 20 km on the course. For women are the parts 10 km and 20 km on the course. In addition to their non-Olympic in the men's 20 km on the course, also the 30 km on the road. To distinguish the job-and road distances are distances on the road showing with miles (for example, 20 km) and on the track in meters (for example, 20,000 m). ==Practice<span class="mw-editsection" len="329" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The practice of this branch of sport occurs both in Belgium as in Netherlands in the margin. There is within the athletics associations, with some exceptions, hardly any attention. Due to this lack of tradition also come into contact with the youth athletes seldom or never walk. In our area it is often comes from the (performance) walking and not from the Athletics race Walker rightly so. As a result, often a predictable take his matches at national level of one or a number of persons. Harold van Beek is in Netherlands in the 20 km for instance since 1990 been thirteen times national champion. On the list of Dutch champions in the past 50 years are only 15 different names.
