Does anyone out there know a fax number, e-mail address or snail-mail
address for the grand poohbas of Olympic Basketball?  

Personally, I think Charles Barkley is an embarassment to the 
both his team mates and the United States and I would like very 
much to register a complaint with someone responsible for his
inclusion on the team.

This is my 7-year old son's first real exposure to the Olympics.
I was embarassed that he had to witness such childish behavior
from a well-paid, professional player who is now representing
his country at an international sporting event.

Keywords: gymnastics
Date: 28 Jul 92 16:51:11 GMT
Expires: Mon, 10 Aug 1992 05:00:00 GMT
Organization: Rice University, Houston


	After two rounds of the women's optional competition, gymnast
Luisa Portocarrero, the only gymnast representing Guatemala, is
leading the individual competition.  Her score is 78.373, and in
second is Canada's Stella Umeh at 78.361.  Gymnasts representing the
top eight teams have not yet competed... they will be in tonight's two
rounds, which begin at 8pm Barcelona time.
	Portocarrero, who currently trains in Canada and hopes to
represent them at next year's worlds, scored a 9.825 on vault and
beam.  Umeh scored a 9.900 for her powerful Yurchenko-full vault, the
one used by the majority of the gymnasts in the competition for the
optional vault. "I felt very good in my first vault," Umeh said.
"It's my best event, and I hit it -- bang, bang. I knew that was it."

Probably a typo.  Yes, Sweden is playing in the handball tournament
and is just now (Mon 27 Jul) playing against Czechoslovakia, the host
of the WC tournament Sweden won.

Nationally the handball team is reagarded as having the biggest
chance, of the Swedish contenders, of getting the gold in the Olympics
followed by Edberg in Tennis and the table tennis players.

I think the music used by NBC was called "Olympic Fanfare" and yeah, it
is a cool piece.  It was released in 1984 for the L.A. games by (I think)
CBS records.  It (the tape) has a few other cool pieces like "street
thunder" (marathon theme), power sports theme, gymnastics theme, and
one called "lighting of the torch".  Too bad I don't have the tape.

I strongly agree. I watched the 100 m classifying races today; there
were many US runners and as many as them that win their respective elimina-
tories (1rst or 2nd) will go to the final, with no limitations. 
36 is a large number, even if all 6 athletes from the 3 best teams get
classified, there's still room for another 18.

Victor, you are as bigoted as the US diving commentators.

You're not criticizing the individual behavior, but you have such an
obscene hatred for the US basetball team that you feel that the >entire<
team should be ejected?

You would agree, then, that if, say, a Cuban boxer makes a low blow in a
match that the entire Cuban boxing team goes home?

C'mon Victor, rent a clue, try it out for size.

Apparently, there's a standard courtesy in soccer that is adhered to out
of sportsmanship.  Since teams are unable to call time-out, play can be
stopped (momentarily) only when the ball goes out of bounds.  If a
player on team A is seriously injured during play and is unable to
continue, but team B has just obtained the ball, team B immediately
kicks the ball out of bounds, allowing team A's trainers (and possibly
doctors in attendance) to attend to the fallen player.  Play resumes
with team A setting up its defense, then throwing the ball in to team B.
I've seen this done at several levels (World Cup, Olympic qualifier,
NCAA).  Is it really part of the unspoken rules of soccer?  In any case,
I was impressed when I saw this -- it seems to remind the players to
keep the game in perspective.

Yes, I found his complete ignorance in just being able to locate half of
these countries on a map to be quite pathetic.  In fact, he started off 
saying something about how he had to go home and get out his Atlas to find
Barcelona when it was announced that Barcelona would host the next Olympics.
Then he made some kind of comment to the effect that before the Olympics
Barcelona practically didn't exist.  That's like saying Montreal or
Munich didn't exist before the Olympics.

Your personal biases should be kept to yourself in matters such
as these - you sound like a jerk by not feeling sorry for someone
who lost their SO hours before they were to compete in the most
significant competition intheir lives.  I can see the flames
coming, but I think people should think for a few seconds before
they write.

If I were in charge of broadcasting, I'd say screw all those
boring sports and events.  Just hide some cameras in the beds of
the olympic athletes and whammo!  Instant Ratings Bonanza! (Wee!  
Yipee!)  Much more interesting showing some the athletes gettin' it
on than having them compete!  Yeah, even got a title thought up.

JOKE!  ITS A JOKE!  JOKE!  GET IT?)
