DNS

Did Not Start. Where one registers for an event, such as a race, but does not compete in said event.

After weeks of training, and even getting to the race venue, having the flu resulted in her being a DNS.

DNF

Did Not Finish. An event for which the partcipant never finishes.

Although he started the 10k, quitting at the 6k mark meant his result was listed as a DNF.
