I've read three different sources now about the men's team handball
competition, all three citing the world champion team from Sweden as one of
the favorites.  However, according to the schedule posted on clari.sports.
olympic, Sweden is not even *in* the competition.  Is this true?  I see
that Switzerland made the draw; is this a typo?  If anyone knows the real
story, please let me know, by posting or by e-mail.

BTW, just to confirm: Iceland will replace the ex-Yugoslavian men's team
and Norway will replace the women's team in the competition, right?

Thanks for the info.

Hello,
     NBC announcers on Wednesday night were filling with human
interest about contestants in the women's gymnastics.  They
mentioned, without elaboration, that Svetlana Boguinskaia's coach
and surrogate mother had committed suicide upon returning from the
1988 Olympics.
 
     Who was this coach/mother?  Was it Ludmilla Terestchova?  I
remember her competing well into her twenties and then coaching.
Statuesque, tall and muscular, her type has been replaced by the
quicker, tiny performers.

Could it be caused by the equipment taking 50 frames/second (common in
Europe) and it being transmitted 60 frames/second (US standard).  This
would require some interpolation etc.

I still can't help forgiving him for his behaviours. Give 
him another chance. 

  He performed impressively well in a TV interview.

By the same token, the US team lost because of a flat. I wonder why
the cyclist with the flat tire didn't just leave so his teammates
could continue. Rules? Why did the US team have 5 cyclists? Actually
that seems as an unfair advantage too. Each cyclist leads the draft 20% 
of the time as opposed to 25%.

As far as equality goes, yes, if a team can not afford disc wheels etc..
it is disadvantaged. Maybe the Olympics should be more conservative
against technological innovations. On the other hand, disc wheels
etc.. are already pretty much standard equipment. Exactly what were the
Brazilians riding on? US coverage was minimal.

			SHOOTING COMPETITION
			MONDAY'S RESULTS

Men's Air Rifle (final)

GOLD	Yuri Fedkine		EUN	695.3
SILVER	Franck Badiou		FRA	691.9
BRONZE	Johann Riederer		GER	691.7
------
4.	Jean Pierre Amat	FRA	691.6
5.	Goran Maksimovic (Independent)	690.6
6.	Thomas Farnik		AUT	690.2
7.	Bob Foth		USA	689.4
8.	Chae Keun-Bae		KOR	687.8
9.	Rajmond Debevec		SLO	589
10.	Alexandre Zlydennyi	EUN	589

Fedkin blows the competition away and adds to the Unified Team's gold
total.  This is Riederer's second consecutive bronze in the air rifle.
Goran Maksimovic, gold medalist in Seoul for Yugoslavia, finishes fifth
this year, officially as an individual athlete.  To explain to those who
asked, "individual" athletes come from Serbia, Montenegro, or Macedonia,
three parts of what was Yugoslavia.  Officially they represent no team or
country and participate in white uniforms under the Olympic flag.  Athletes
from Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia-Hercegovina are affiliated with the
teams of their countries and compete under their own flags.  Now back to
the results:

Women's Sport Pistol (final)

GOLD	Marina Logvinenko	EUN	684.0
SILVER	Li Duihong		CHN	680.0
BRONZE	Dorzhsuren Munkhbayar	MGL	679.0
------
4.	Mirela Skoko		CRO	677.0
5.	Nino Saloukvadze	EUN	676.0
6.	Jasna Sekaric (Independent)	676.0
7.	Lynne-Marie Freh	AUS	675.0
8.	Julita Macur		POL	674.0
9.	Evelyne Manchon		FRA	577
10.	Lieselotte Breker	GER	577
11.	Agathi Kassoumi		GRE	577
12.	Maria Julian		ESP	576
12.	Annamaria Gonczi	HUN	576 (tie)

Logvinenko makes it three out of four golds for the Unified Team so far in
shooting.  Munkhbayar duplicates her country's total from Seoul--one
bronze--by giving Mongolia its first non-boxing Olympic medal in years (and
maybe ever).  Again, the 5th-place finisher is the gold medalist in Seoul.
That has happened in three out of the four competitions so far!  Not very
promising for those who want to repeat...

Open Skeet Shooting (prelims)
(through 6 of 8 rounds; top 25 advance to semifinals)
1.	Zhang Shan		CHN	150
2.	Matt Dryke		USA	149
3.	Jose Gonzalez		ESP	149
3.	Juan Yarur		PER	149
5.	Alexandre Tcherkassov	EUN	148
6.	Firmo Buabud		ARG	148
7.	Todd Graves		USA	148
8.	Bruno Rossetti		ITA	148
9.	Ioan Toman		ROM	148
10.	Boriss Timofejevs	LAT	148
11.	Guillermo Rodriguez	CUB	148
12.	Lubos Adamec		TCH	148
7 shooters with				147
5 shooters with				146

TUESDAY'S SCHEDULE

1. Men's Air Pistol (final)
 	Bulgaria's Tanue Kiriakov seeks to end the "repeat jinx" by getting a
second gold, but he'll have to defeat Wang Yifu and Xu Haifeng of China, as
well as Boris Kokarev, who wants to extend the Unified Team's success.

2. Open Skeet (final)
	This three-day event ends with USA's Matt Dryke in position to
repeat his 1984 gold medal, but Zhang Shan of China is ahead of him, and 39
others are within 5 points, including German Axel Wegner and Erik
Swinkels of the Netherlands.

According to this mourning's New York Times, he never issued a yellow card. The
23-0 decision was not in favor of awarding a red card as was initially claimed.
Instead, led by acosta, the FIVB voted that the referee had made a mistake in
NOT awarding the yellow card. The rational was that his decision not to award
a yellow card was based on the fact that it would make a red card and end the
match. This was backed up (as noted) by the referee's statement. Nonetheless,
the FIVB has set a horrible precedent in that they ruled that they can OVERRULE
a referee's decision whether or not to award a yellow card even if this changes
the outcome of the match. THIS IS UNBELIEVEABLE. If it were merely a
technicality that would be one thing, but instead the FIVB has overturned
a JUDGEMENT CALL. I think that almost anybody involved in sports would agree
that this is a horrible precedent to set.

I dare say you are right about the British 2-.  The American
2- would be a long shot.

Our best best at this point may be the 4+ or the 4- in the men.
The eight could get a bronze.  The women's 4- has a decent chance at
a medal as well.
