This is a self test to see if you can correctly identify whether a race walker is legal, deserving of a yellow paddle (caution) or a red card as well as whether you can determine if the call should be for bent knee or loss of contact.

This is a video designed to be a test for race walking officials. Use this Google form to test yourself. The original video was created at a very high frame rate so that participants could see the race walkers feet more clearly, with less motion blur and artifacts. Unfortunately, YouTube and likely your equipment will not output videos at that frame rate. Therefore, taking this test this way works for the obvious cases of loss of contact and bent knee, but may prove challenging on the more subtle questions.
