Just two questions:

1)

  Are olympic judges choosen as rigorously as the athletes?

  Do they have to compete?

   if so:
   
      Within their home countries?

      Against other countries?  (vie for post)

   else:
      Are their appointments political?


2) 

  Betting is legal in many parts of the world and practiced in most.  
  If there was much "action" on the Japan/US game I could see many
  irate bookies and bettors.  Think about it.   This could lead to 
  some very "messy" situations.   

  Have any "bankers" or bettors ever reached the stage of making 
  "known" threats or retaliations against olympic judges or officials?

  If so:

     Has the olympic committee protected them?

     Are they on their own?

     Does the committee care?

Thus Spain is a very open and liberal country to allow Magic to come to

Subject: NBC DIVING COMMENTARY:ABSURD
Date: 30 Jul 92 11:41:13 EST
Organization: University of Toledo, Computer Services


	During the mens springboard diving competition yesterday (29 jul)
a comment was made by the woman commentrator on NBC (i forget her name),
referring to the Chinese diver who finished second.

	During one of his dives she said :"He is the most WESTERNIZED 
among the chinese (or other divers i dont know) divers ; HE LAUGHS
AND SMILES A LOT"

	In my view i cannot make sense of the necessity of this comment;
leave alone its offensiveness to some part of the human race.  I think
that most sensible people who have a reasonably good knowledge of the
behaviour of athletes of nations other than the USA,  will disregard this
comment as either

1. utterly foolish.
2. not worth considering since the speaker must have lived in her own
   well.
3. she must be kidding.
4. .......

	What i see is the effect it will have on persons in the USA who
have not met persons from other nationalities (this is least possible
in the US, a land of immigrants); but i refer possible persons
 who may not have.

	This certainly puts wrong impressions in peoples mind though any
sane person will find it most esoteric as to what the relation between
being "westernized" and "smiling a lot" is. beats me.

   He will probably only miss the game versus Germany (a team which managed to
   edge mighty Angola by 1 point yesterday). Turns out Magic's knee is fine,
  he just slightly sprained the muscle in back of the knee. No ligament 
  damage, which is the type of damage he was worried about. As it turned out,
   he has about a minor an injury as he thought was possible.

  They ought to throw Charles out of the games. Somehow I think we'd do

I've been told by a couple of volleyball players, that this speed scoring is
common. I've also heard some others get a good laugh out of the title
"speed-scoring" claiming its supposed to be called something else (?).

Anyway, I think that the primary point (in addition to saving on time) is to
decrease the advantage of having the first serve. I personally think that they
should volley for the first serve, but this approach has the same effect and
saves a whopping one full volley.

and activities of the day past. It will aslo include a summary of the upcoming
days events. I'll post this every morning.

If you are interested in further details about individual events, please look

The NBC coverage is alleged to be just what they would have covered
as if the Triplecost did not exist.  If you like the way they
handled Seoul in 1988, you'll love Barcelona.  This week's
TV Guide has a special pull-out section listing the events
on both NBC and the Triplecost.

If the NBC coverage of the opening ceremonies is as bad as
CBS' coverage of the opening of the Winter Olympics, you
won't get to see much.

Happy viewing, everyone!

Does anybody out there have an opinion on the chances of the US soccer team
placing in the top 3 at the Olympics?  I have heard any information on the
status about them.  Do they have the same German coach and players that will
compete for the World Cup?  If so, I believe the US may have a good chance

Vlad,

The best thing about NHL is that won't allow its stars to play in
the Olympics or World Championships for one reason or another. 95% of
the players on the American and Candian Olympic teams in France this
past February consisted of collegians and junior league players. The other
5% was  not-ready-for-prime-time minor leaguers.

92% of the USA's DreamTeam will be star NBA players with an average of
9 years of pro experience.
