that is 100% “legal” RW form. Weight- bearing leg is straight- from the hip to the heel. No race walk judge would declare it otherwise!

I believe the reference to the unbendable knee is to the foot that is touching the ground at any moment.

The bent knee in the picture has a foot in the air, while the unbent knee has a foot planted firmly on the ground.

looks like the knees are bent in that picture…

That killed me. The part that says “as long as one of your feet is on the ground, and you’re not bending your knees.”

That’s not racewalking, it’s goose-stepping!

Wacky.
