He didn't need to hit the torch to lit it up.

No, they said that on NBC. they said that, given her performance on
the compulsories she was supposed to perform second (so that the
better ranked would go last, which supposedly is better for purposes
of judge-warm-up) but they shifted her at the last moment.

WHat i don't know is whether the rule that they altered is just some
sort of convention within the team, within the competition, or what.
but the message (from NBC) was that they were trying to help Kim
get on the finals (thus choosing to favour her against Kerry).

I am not exactly a fan of Charles Barkley, but I would say most

Team Unified is a bogus concept...the Ukraine is an independent
country...if Tatiana Gutsu were allowed to compete for the Ukraine
instead of this bogus team concocted by the IOC, she would still
be eligible for the all-around.  Why should she be penalized because
sports bureaucrats cannot keep up with politics?

This Charles Barkley does not want to stop amusing us, but this

In a news conference, Barkley said his teammates told him
after the Angola game: "Don't get thrown out. We need you. 
THEY TOLD ME THE ANGOLAN GUY HADN'T EATEN IN A LONG TIME, SO
HIT A FAT GUY NEXT TIME."

If most of the team members were not african american, I would
have suspected some racism here. I think we are all giving them

Anyone interested in Greek/Balkan politics is encouraged to read the
various newsgroups where these issues appear daily, including:
soc.culture.europe, soc.culture.yugoslavia, soc.culture.greek.  We do
not need this stuff here as well.

Politics generated from the IOC and national committees is reasonable.
General politics is not.

Let's limit the flaming to important issues, like whether Athlete A
lost to Athlete B because B is the better athlete or because A just
had a bad day.   :-)

Subject: US-Japan Volleyball: Read These Facts!
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 92 01:04:23 GMT
Organization: University of New Mexico, Albuquerque

Apparently, there is still some >Major< confusion about what happened in this
match, why the game kept going, who was sportsmanlike and who was not, etc.
So, with that in mind, some FACTS, not opinions, of what happened. 

It was the 4th game of a 5 set match. Japan was leading in matches 2-1, and
the game was tied, 13-13. Japan was serving, and eventually hit a shot that
went near, but not over, the line. Japan 14-13. US play Bob Samuleson argued
the call with the line official (argued as in 'disagreed' not as in fought).
The >umpire<, from Brazil, I think, told the referee, Ramis Samedov from
Azerbaijan, that Samuleson should get a yellow card for Unsportsmanlike
Conduct. Samedov pulled out his yellow card, showed it, and at this point, 
Steve Timmons (US team captain) came over and protested the call with the
referee. The referee then apparently decided that, because Samuleson had
recieved an earlier yellow card in that match, he (the referee) didn't 
want/feel that the match should end on a double-yellow, which would have meant
a point and the match to Japan. So, >without reporting the yellow card to the
scorers table<, which would have made it official, the referee allowed the match
to continue, which the US eventually ended up winning. From a >players< 
point of view, and what should have been the official way of the game, the
match continues because a referee has total control over a match, and what he
says is the law of that match! From the players point of view, the US beat
Japan in a tight 5-set match. Of course Japan shook hands and was sportsmanlike,
they thought they had officially lost the match. 
The day after, the FIVB board decided, based on a letter signed by the referee,
and on thier own 'evidence', that the match should have ended at the point
above, the yellow card should have been issued, and the match should have been
given to Japan. The board voted 23-0 in favour of this opinion. In short, they
overturned a referees decision on the floor, and awarded the match to the team
that, from all regualar volleyball standards, lost. Its not a surprise that the
US team showed solidarity for the player on their team that was called for a
penalty, not by the referee of the match, but by a bunch of suits on an
official board. Atrocities like this rank up as high as the 1972 Mens basketball
final fiasco, when an IOC official came out of the stands to put more time on
the clock. This over-turning of a match was >unprecedented< in FIVB volleyball.
