High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A walkover or W.O. Is the awarding of a victory to a contestant because there are no other contestants, or because the other contestants have been disqualified or have forfeited. The term can apply in sport, but can also apply to elections.The word originates from horse-racing in the United Kingdom, where an entrant in a one-horse race run under Jockey Club rules has to "walk over" the course before being awarded victory. It is the equivalent of a shoo-in in America. The Oxford English Dictionary defines it thus: "a race in which through absence of competitors the winner has merely to walk over'; also in extended sense, a contest in which through the inferiority of his competitors the winner has practically no opposition. Anything accomplished with great ease".
