42 women started the 20K Walk, and FIFTEEN OF THEM

i make no claims to being a walk aficionado, but in the limited amount of
time alloted to me to introduce the leading characters before they left the
stadium, I think I menitoned 9 people and 7 of them got DQed. It wasn't just
that a lot of people got nicked, it was that a high percentage of them were
legit medal contenders.
