These images are of Diego Cafagna, an Italian race walker. They were taken in Jul 2007 during a training session on a road in, or near, Saluzzo, Italy. Mr. Cafagna has walked a 20K in 1:23:55, and a 50K in 3:53:46.

This study consists of 18 frames extracted from a short, slow-motion video clip. The frames define 2 full steps and are seamed together to provide a continuous animation of the subject's walking technique at about one-third speed. The frames can be viewed in three different modes:
 
 Manual mode displays a single frame, then uses the <<First, <Prev (previous), and >Next buttons to change frames.
 
 Main Loop mode presents this page, the entry point to this study.
 
 Loop+Notes mode presents an animated and continuous, slow-motion view of the 18 frames plus technique notes.
