race walker
Speed-walking Olympic athlete
A race walker is someone who competes in race walking, a track and field event requiring continuous foot contact with the ground and a straight supporting leg.
The distinctive hip-swiveling gait looks awkward but allows speeds approaching a jog: Race walkers covered the 20-kilometer course in under ninety minutes.
