While not shown, I have images of Taylor-Talcott for each of the first few laps. She was walking strong and IMHO legally. Unfortunately, she got disqualified. She handled it with grace and dignity ""I'm sad, frustrated, disappointed. I felt great out there. I was feeling fantastic, strong. It was such a surprise [to be disqualified].""
