Both walking forms require that one foot must be on the ground at all times, and the foot must strike from heel to toe. Race Walk is an Olympic sport which has a technical element requiring the lead leg to remain straight from heel-strike until the knee passes under the body. This is what results in the unusual hip motions that characterize the look of the event.

One foot must be on the ground at all times. Each advancing foot-strike must be heel-to-toe at all times. The advancing leg, as it moves forward, and when the heel strikes the ground, does not have to be completely locked as it passes under the body, as it does in Race Walking; a soft knee is acceptable.
