Does anybody know which events the above mentioned are competing?  De Vega
Mercado was definitely not in the 100 m ... I watched the whole elimination
round and she wasn't in.  Maybe 200?

Gillian Thomson did very well in her heat in the 200 m backstroke this
morning. She finished first and missed the B finals by about .20 sec.
Sayang!  The event eventually was won by the great Egerzeygi (sp?) of
Hungary.

The four men also competed in the 4 x 100 medley relay this morning.  
They were in the last heat (heat no. 3) which included the USA, the
team which eventually won the event, tying the world record.  The team
did well, they finished 7th in the heat, (the fastest heat).  At least
hindi sila kulelat, they were ahead of some other teams, time-wise.

  No news about them.  I know that Velasco went on to the next round
and Balen~a was defeated by a Frenchman.

   I am not sure if they have performed yet, but they're supposed to
be formidable ...

   Not a demo sport in Barcelona and probably will never be in the next
few olympics to come ...
