I agree that the pay per view stuff sucks. As far as the spirit of amateurism,
it died years ago. There is no way (unless truly wealthy) any true amateur
can become world class in anything these days - it takes too much time in 
training. The americans use scholarships, the east block used their armies
and fake jobs, others used under the table payments. All of these practices
violate the amateur spirit. If you want the best competition, allow pros. If
you want amateurs, go to grade school (maybe high school) meets.

All-around gymnasts are selected on the basis of their total score
after the team competition (1/2 Compulsories, and 1/2 Optionals to
come on Tuesday).  However, (this is the key part), only three
gymnasts per country may advance to the all-arounds finals.

The US scores are as follows:
Shannon Miller  39.636 (1st place!)
Betty Okino     39.499 (7th)
Kerri Strug     39.336 (13th)
Dominique Dawes 39.074 (30th)
Kim Zmeskal     39.062 (32nd)
Wendy Bruce     39.012 (37th)

So, while Kim is in the top 36 gymnasts (a total of 36 gymnasts
qualify to the all-around), she is currently only 5th on the US team.
While she can probably overtake Dominique Dawes in the optional round,
it will be hard to overtake either Kerri Strug or Betty Okino.  If
Shannon, Betty, or Kerri fell, Kim will have a chance.  Or if Kerri
has a few missed tenths here and there, and Kim has an outstanding
competition, it is possible.  Kim's problem here is that the rest of
the team is so good, there is very little room at the top for her to
maneuver into a higher place on the team.

One thing is for sure: if any gymnast can pull herself out of this
situation, it is Zmeskal.

I believe the Japanese filed a protest right away. If you remember the match,
right before the Japanese player served for the match at 14-13, there was a
long pause because the ref first warned the American Player (Samuelson) and
then the Japanese coach went to the ref right away!  That was why the complain
was valid and was considered by a committee.

I think the judge has in fact pulled out a yellow card, and then he took it
back.  That's the cause for all the confusion.

	Millions of people have exaggerated features, but if any of them have

	A lot of extra-tall people (6'5 & over) have this "exaggerated" bone
	structure - facially and otherwise (eg hands). There is a name for this

	You can see this condition on people like "Jaws" in the James Bond

	Come on, human biologists, confirm this posting before everyone thinks
	I'm an idiot (no posts saying I already am, please).

As I understand it, in order to qualify for the all-around you must finish in the
top 36 (which will probably not be a problem) AND you must be one of the top 3 or 4
(I'm not sure) on your team (this is where her problem will be).

Tell me how long one would have to spend in America before you saw somebody
compete in the Shot Put. I've been here 18 years and never seen it. Does that
mean that Americans don't participate in the sport? A sport need not be a
national pasttime for a country to play it.

In this case we should take back the medals the Unified Team was

Here are predictions (about Table Tennis) I received :

Women's Sigles:
	Deng Yaping (CHN)
	Jun Gao (CHN)
	Some Chinese player
	Chinese all the way (!)

Women's Doubles:
	No name; only a country : CHINA !!

Men's Singles:
	Jan-Ove Waldner (SWE) many votes
	Mikael Appelgren (SWE)
	Zoran Primorac (Croatia)
	Yoo Nam Kyu (KOR)
	Ma Wenge (CHN)
	China all the way !

Men's Doubles:
	Roskopf & Fetzner (GER)
	A Sweden pair
	A chinese pair
	A Korean pair

************************************************************

Thanks to all who send their predictions.

Here are mine :

MENS
	My heart(!) goes with Jan-Ove Waldner. Nobody talked about Jorgen
	Persson, who is No.1 in the World, or neither Jean-Philippe Gatien
	from France, who plays really good now. Also, some other names :
	Andrzej Grubba (POL), Chen Zibhin (CHN), Jean-Michel Saive (BEL)
	Kim Taek Soo (KOR), etc...

WOMENS

	Like some people said, China all the way ! 7 among the 10 are
	chinese womens (world ranking), and maybe some Koreans. But,
	I doubt it.

Count me as one who find his commentary a distraction. I try not to
listen to him. Tesh, BTW, was an anchor for CBS Sports coverage a
number of years ago, and also did their Tour de France coverage,
before he took his place next to Mary Hart. Did I ever say that the
music he composes is a little too New Ageish for me? :) Be thankful,
though, that NBC hasn't shown pictures of Connie Selleca yet. 

I appreciate the fact that both Schlegel and Tim Daggett tried to be 
honest about the Americans' inability to land their dismounts cleanly
during the team optionals and how much of a problem that could be
during the course of the competition. Besides that, I let the visuals
speak for themselves.

. . .

Yeh, but on replay (sunday, they showed a shot from the "REEBOK?"
blimp, showint the lighting from above;
on slow-motion, it was clear that the flames went from the cauldron
to (not from) the arrow.

In my opinion, the arrow Would have lit the flame, but, in fact, it
didn't.

sigh!

The Balkan wars:

 WW1: 		that was a question of power
 Yugoslavia:	a question of people
 Macedonia:     a question of copyright

Well, we must understand the legitimacy of those people to slaughter each
other, and to spread their hatred through the appropriate networks.
