OK... they have uploaded a new PRESS RELEASE:

http://www.triathlon.org/athens/women.htm

...and here's the scoop about Walton's DNF:

Shortly after the start of the run, Walton who has been suffering from a nagging foot injury pulled out, leaving Marceau, Fleureton, Henning, Zeebroek and Riederer with a lead that the chase group could not possibly overcome.

Anyone w/ more details about this?
