SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia —
Merely a step or two short of
perfection, Scott Hamilton put
a virtual lock on a figure skating
gold medal Tuesday night,
helping to overshadow lacklus
ter performances by the Mahre
twins earlier in the day.
Hamilton,* the three-time
world champion who hasn’t
been beaten since 1980, stum
bled ever so slightly on the
camel spin during his short pro
gram at the Zetra Arena, but
still goes into Thursday night’s
free skating final with a com
fortable lead over Jean-
Christophe Simond of France.
“I hobbled the camel a little,”
said Hamilton, who was second
behind Canadian Brian Orser
in the short program markings,
consisting of seven elements in
two minutes. “The combination
felt good, the double axel felt
good, all the spins were good.
“I got a little excited out
there and the camel wasn’t ex
actly what I wanted to do.”
Hamilton said he had been
unable to warm up properly be
cause he’s been so caught up in
all the other activities of the
Olympics. “So,” he continued,
“it was ‘calm down, let’s remem
ber what we’re out here for’ and
I went downstairs and got mad.
I got really mad and all the
veins in my head were standing
out. I was looking really pretty.”
The continued strong show
ing by Hamilton, plus the medal
expected later Tuesday night
from Judy Blumberg and Mi
chael Seibert in the ice dance,
lent encouragement to the
United States forces following
the failure of the men to make
an impression in the giant sla
lom.
Phil Mahre, winner of the
overall World Cup
championship the last three
years, could do no better than
eighth in the giant slalom and
his brother Steve was 17th.
Max Julen of Switzerland,
taking heart from the whistling
of some 12,000 Yugoslavs who
envisioned a gold medal for one
of their own, was the surprise
winner of the giant slalom, the
first alpine event of these
Games for the men. The Yugo
slavians, nevertheless, were de
lighted to take the silver on a
pressure performance by Jure
Franko, while Andreas Wenzel
of Liechtenstein earned the
bronze.

Natalia Bestemianova and

SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia —Only min
utes before, elf-like 20-year-old Debbie
Armstrong had conquered mighty Jaho-
rina, one of the steepest, most beautiful
mountains in all Yugoslavia.
Now, completely surrounded six deep
and hopelessly encircled the way Custer
must have been, the curvy blonde, blue
eyed Seattle skier was on top of the world,
yet she couldn’t move an inch.
If she did, she risked being crushed by
the surging mass of humanity around her.
She was struggling to keep from slipping
on the uneven, icy snow beneath her, yet
she still answered all the questions fired at
her by the media. She wasn't going to miss
so much as a second of all this because it as
suredly had to be one of the fulfilling mo
ments of her young life.
As a class B member or second-stringer
on the United States Ski Team, and the
“baby” of the group in terms of seniority,
she had made her very first major victory
one that she and many others would always
remember and talk about by not only win
ning the women’s giant slalom but the first
gold medal for the United States in these
Olympic Games as well.
Armstrong took a lot of the heat off
America’s male Olympians, who haven’t
done a whole lot more here than go shop-
j ping and take pictures. Until Debbie came
through, the only medal the United States
had to show was a silver one in the pairs
figure skating won by Kitty and Peter Car-
ruthers.
What made Armstrong’s victory all the
sweeter was that her 24-year-old team
mate, Christin Cooper of Sun Valley,
Idaho, picked up the silver medal for sec
ond place in the giant slalom, and Tamara
McKinney of Squaw Valley, Calif., barely
missed making it an entirely unexpected 1-
2-3 sweep for the Americans by finishing
fourth, only four-tenths of a second be
hind the third place finisher, France’s Per-
rine Pelen.
Armstrong’s combined time for her two
runs was 2:20.98; Cooper’s 2:21:38, and
McKinney’s 2:21.83. The fourth U.S. girl
in the race, Cindy Nelson of Reno, Nev.,
wound up way back in 18th place with her
2:24.88 clocking, but she might’ve made
the biggest and most important contribu
tion of all. She’s Armstrong’s roommate in
the Olympic Village and she never let up
on her before the competition.
“Cindy Nelson has been absolutely
great,” were virtually the first words out of
Armstrong’s mouth after she realized she
had won the race. “She kept giving me a
kick in the pants. Everytime I turned
around, she’d say, ‘You can do it, Arm
strong. You know it, and I know it.’ She
never let me forget I had the ability to win.
She was my personal confidence builder.”
When Nelson came overtocong
Armstrong after finishing her own I
run, the two girls embraced each;
with that special kind of warmth anil
lion that only comes from puttinginll
back-breaking hours of hard wi
gether.
“Can you imagine?” Armii:|
bubbled. “Me, winning?”
“Well, kid, you sure picked the:
time and the right place to doit,”;
the 28-year-old Nelson, a 14-yearvfl
of the team the rest of the memtal
her “Granny.”
All of them took to her immediattl
cause of her good nature and sheet:

years ago and they all felt for herwhc

likes Debbie, and that’s fair enoug
cause Debbie likes everybody, also.
“You should’ve heard her in these
chute before we started today,” Coop
lated. “She was babbling away, let’s!
fun, let’s have fun.’”
“That’s right,” confirmed ArnisiJ?
who had been pegged more as a
specialist and had to almost beg to 1
part in the giant slalom. “Sure, it was!
work, but it was also a lot of fun."

The Arkansas Razorbacks
are on one of their highest
highs in history and the TCU
Horned Frogs are at the oppo
site end of the emotional spec
trum.
So there are not expected to
be many surprises in Fayette
ville Wednesday night.
The most interesting thing
about the Arkansas-TCU mat
chup will likely be how much of
a letdown the Razorbacks have
and if they do not have one
then the Frogs will really be in
trouble.
The Hogs and Frogs will
make up one of three South
west Conference games on the
slate Wednesday evening.
Arkansas will be going after
its 20th win, which would mark
the eighth straight year the Ra
zorbacks have reached that pla
teau.
This will be the first time Ar
kansas has been in action since
its Sunday upset win over No. 1
lay ups
North Carolina in Pine Bluff.

“U4 SPECIALS/
That victory concluded a three-
win week, elevated the Razor-
backs into the No. 13 spot in the
national rankings and raised
their confidence level for up
coming games with Houston
and for what will almost cer
tainly be its seventh straight ap-
perance in the NCAA tourna
ment.
TCU, meanwhile, has won
just two of 11 conference games
despite a talented assortment of
young players.
Wednesday night’s other
f ames find the Baylor Bears at
MU and Rice at Texas. On
Thursday evening the fourth-
ranked Houston Cougarrs will
host third-place Texas Tech.
SMU is hoping to use this
mid-week round of games as a
lever to jump back into third
place in the league standings.
The team that finishes third
wins a bye past the opening
round of the SWC’s post-season
tournament.
The Mustangs are 7-4 while
Texas Tech is 7-3 in the league
race. SMU will also be going af
ter its 20th win, something the
school has not achieved since
1967, and since Baylor has won
only five games all year the
Mustangs should get it.
Baylor, however, hopes to see
some playing time
night from junior guard!

in scoring when he brol

during a practice session.
The Rice Owls will 1
