Since the TC sales were so underwhelming, our friends at NBC
have opted to forgo their network coverage promos and use the
air time to hype the TripleCast.  They appear to be using salable
ad time to do this promotion.  

How many more suckers do you think they have to sell to cover the
cost of a 20 second primetime ad.  They seem to be succeeding in
maximizing their losses.

TO:	USA OLYMPIC TEAM SUPPORTERS

FROM:	Kim Kelly/Parkettes National Gymnastics Training Center

DATE: 	July 27, 1992

Kim Kelly placed 6th at the US Olympic Trials. Kim performed
her FLAWLESS routines on July 9th in Florida in a required
selection process. Following this performance Kim was removed
from the team due to a subjective vote by the coaches of each
gymnast and one USGF official. The USGF by-laws, article 8.01 (B)
states: the selection process shall be based primarily on current
objective performance-related criteria, eliminating any reliance
on subjective criteria.

Kim met all the criteria and was arbitrarily removed. Kim's
goal is to change the United States Olympic Committee's (USOC)
approval of the selection process from that of SUBJECTIVE
FAVORITISM to using the spirit of Olympic competition. Please
write to the following addresses to express your support:

Dr. Harvey Schiller		Mike Jacki
Executive Director		USGF

Summary: EUN pulls an athlete due to injury

I heard it on NBC tonight... the Unified Team has stated that one of
their athletes is injured and will not be able to compete in
Thursday night's all-around.  NBC did not specify which Unified
athlete was injured.  Thus, Tatiana Gutsu, the 4th Soviet gymnast,
will qualify for the al-arounds.

Anyone who read the "re: Tatiana Gutsu (was re: GYMNASTICS: results)"
thread read my explanation that the former Soviets had a history of
claiming that a certain gymnast was injured, thus allowing a lower
scoring (but more capable) Soviet gymnast to compete in the
all-arounds.  (Only three gymnasts/nation may advance.)  I stated that
while it would not surprise me if the Unified Team pulled that trick
again, I did not expect it.  I guess I should have expected it.

If it was Boguinkskaya that was injured, NBC would have said so.  So
it must be either Galieva or Lysenko.  Lysenko is generally regarded
as the stronger gymnast.  So if Lysenko is "injured", I will maybe
believe that she really is injured.  If Galieva is "injured", while I
wouldn't be able to prove it in any way, I must admit I will be of the
opinion that the EUN is resorting to it's old ways...

You must be talking about Toni Kukoc, not Drazen Petrovic. It's not 
clear in the reference, or your facts are not straight. :)

Listening to Jerry Krause during the Cubs pregame report on WGN-AM (720), 
the K-Man was none too happy about hearing reports that his superstars
were sending a message to him about his pet project by stuffing Kukoc.

To me, it's a bit childish on the part of Scottie and Michael to be 
pulling that type of stunt during the Olympics. Then again, if it weren't
for stuff like that, we wouldn't have much to talk about.

The thought of Kukoc in a Bulls uniform alongside Pippen and Jordan is
best reserved for rec.sport.pro.basketball, so I'll stop here.

There's another way to punish him. If I were the coach I would have
replaced him immediately and not letting him play anymore during at
least this game.

The equestrian events (dressage, show jumping, three day event) are
mixed.  I believe some but not all of the sailing classes are also
mixed.  My other guess for mixed events would be some of the shooting
competitions.

I think you restate the problem that the Scots, at least, object

autonomous from England.  If the IOC recognizes them, thne
they would be entitled to send a team.

Puerto Rico has its own Olympic Team, even though George Bush is their

Sorry!  In fact, before I posted the above message, I was not sure
about the copyright and so in fact asked around my department, and was
told that if something is "posted" then it is more or less
"understood" to be copy-able.  I s'pose it was naive of me to believe

Just a little question:
Why is it that the commentators are virtually ignoring Romania when
they show gymnasts' performances, except to say that Romania is 'ahead of'
or 'behind' so-and-so??  I would have liked to hear more about these
gymnasts whose team came out NUMBER TWO in the world!
All we heard about was the American team, Svetlana Bouginskaya, and
Tatiana Goutsu.

The point is that instead of repeating the "life history" of 
each of the participants most of the times they show him/her, they 
could as well show few more events. The music videos are 
distracting and you do not get good picture of what is happening 
the actual sports event.

In a 15 minute segment we rarely see more than two events, this is
in gymnastics, where the time duration of an event is about 2-3 
minutes. They spend lot of time talking. As apparent from 
other postings, their commentary is not that informative either.
They take about 8 minutes to show 1 minute swimming event.

They can show "family oriented" olympics telecast  but should not
go overboard with it.

It seems to me that they want to show few events, show more 
advertisements, and their goal is to promote the triplecast.

This weekend they are having free preview, but they have split the screen
into four, three of those screens showing the three channels of
the triple cast, the fourth showing the advertisement for triple cast.
The audio promotes the triple cast. 

No wonder they are loosing about 75 million dollars on this olympics.

That might be an option under US rules, but not under FIFA rules. I've never
seen or heard of a "second yellow card" in soccer, and I come from a part of
the world where soccer is by far the most popular sport, talked about as much
as baseball in the US.

No, there are two types of referee mistakes in most sports. One is in the 
domain of referee's free judgement, and that is irrevocable even if it is
clearly a mistake. Examples are: (soccer) not judging a 11-meter after a
clear foul, which the ref considered not a foul, and (basketball) judging a
non-existent foot-foul, or personal, or interception in downward path.

The other type is a material violation of the rules. In basketball, a referee
can seldom make such a mistake unless it is connected with timing. Example:
was the last point shot before or after the time expired? If it was judged 
wrong, it can be overturned. In soccer, almost everything is "free judgement",
but if an 11-meter is judged after a foul that was clearly out of the 16-meter
field, this can be overturned and the goal annuled.

The point punishment for the second yellow card is rather peculiar to
volleyball (I hadn't known it existed before this game), but it is clear that
by "forgetting" in which set the first card was given, the ref clearly stole
a won game away from the Japanese. (There is no point in discussing whether
the card itself was justly given, as that is in the domain of free judgement.)

Agreed.

Could someone posts the results please?

Here in Canada(CTV) and US(NBC), they don't even mention a word
about them. As if there were so such events.
