Okay, All I have is the "agate" on the IAAF/Edmonton web site- 42 women started the 20K Walk, and FIFTEEN OF THEM got disqualified!!! Is that a new record or something? More than a third of the field. [I haven't seen the TV- just got home from a parent's planning meeting for a H.S. team XC training camp at Mammoth Lakes next week (my son- 10th grade). yes, HS teams get in their August altitude training camp these days- in my day, a High School August meant pounding through miles of sand through the Florida orange groves in the area I lived, along with occasional beach races ] Back to the walk- one of those DQ'd was Michelle Rohl. Fill us in Mike- what happened? Outrageous judging? A third of the field took a wrong turn and got accused of cutting the course? RT
