unless you knock down too many hurdles; then you're a DNF or DQ

You can knock down every hurdle, as long as your hands do not touch it.  Nice
try, but this is not true.
To stray into this exercises of hypocrisy, you cannot hate the walks because
of its demands and love the hammer, shot put, discus, or weight throw.  Each
one of these disciplines has a given set of criteria that must be adhered to,
in order to compete.
If, you want to talk about the walks and their disqualification rules, then
we may as well eliminate false starts, and fouls in the jumps.  Let's time
the actual 100 m sans reaction times, and measure actual jumps from wherever
the jumper left the ground.
