Hi John,
Just spotted the photo of Rob Heffernen on your blog, is it me or has he 2 feet off the ground?
How many of these errors are they allowed to get away with?
I think because the view is head on and the colour of the track, it can be misleading. His left foot is on the track and you can see the shadow under his raised right foot.
I think racewalkers might get 2 warnings before they get disqualified?
