About

QWOP is a 2008 ragdoll-based Flash game created by former Cut Copy bassist Bennett Foddy. Players control an athlete named "Qwop" using only the Q, W, O, and P keys. The game has become a popular meme since it's outbreak in 2010.
Storyline

QWOP is the local sporting hero of a prosperous country in the scandinavian alps. Unfortunately, it is too cold there for an outdoor track, and QWOP has come to the championships without completing his training!

You can help QWOP achieve his sporting dreams! You just need to show him how to run.
