Olympic skiing in chaos

A
Germons continue medal sweep
Speedskating record falls
United Press International
SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia —
After three Olympics, Andrea
Schoene, one of East Germany’s
prolific speedskating medal
gatherers, Wednesday finally
won a gold medal at the Winter
Games.
With an Olympic record time
of four minutes 24.79 seconds,
she won the 3,000 meter race,
the last of the women’s titles to
be decided. Teammate Karin
Enke, the earlier winner of two
gold medals at the 1,000 and
1,500 meters, in which Schoene
placed second, took the silver
medal.
Enke put in a powerful last
lap, but with 4:26.33 had to be
content with her second silver
of the Games. Teammate
Ghrista Rothenburger had
edged Enke out for the gold in
the 500m.
East Germany completed a
sweep of all gold and silver
medals in the women’s speed
skating events. It was the first
time any country had swept that
sector since 1964, when the So
viet Union’s Lydia Skoblikova
won all the events.
ment, was happy Schoene had
at last won a gold. She said: “I
wanted to win my third gold
here, but was glad I lost it to
Andrea.”
Mary Docter of
Wis., finished sixth.

enough before the Games to
match Skoblikova’s achieve-
To make it a total East Ger
man triumph, Gabi Schoen-
brunn, the world record holder,
collected the 3,000 meter
bronze in 4:33.13, off her
4:21.70 set at the high altitude
Medeo track in the Soviet
Union last year. The Olympic
record, which both Schoene
and Enke smashed, was 4:32.13
set by Norway’s Bjoerg Eva Jen
sen at Lake Placid, N.Y., in
1980. She was pushed back into
seventh place here with 4:36.28.
SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia — A
rare mishap to world champion
Gerry Sorensen of Ganada com
bined with fog Wednesday to
force a second postponement of
the Women’s Olympic downhill
and throw the Alpine competi
tion into utter chaos and angry
recriminations.
The much-delayed Alpine
races were already in sufficient
confusion from last week’s
snowstorms when Sorensen,
one of the strongest skiers rac
ing and a highly-consistent fin
isher, lost a ski at a dangerous
and invisible bump on the
course.
She was the ninth of the 32
competitors to race, but the in
cident provoked a delay to re
pair the course, a complete res
tart and, when bad weather
prevented that, a postponement
of the race.
The race jury and team cap
tains met later and decided to
hold both the women’s downhill
and the thrice-postponed men’s
downhill on Thursday, on
mountains almost 20 miles
apart, in an increasingly desper
ate attempt to complete the Al
pine program before the Games
end Sunday.
The Swiss, whose Michela
Figini was leading when the
race was halted, and other
teams were furious with yet an
other delay, arguing that the
race should merely be inter
rupted while the course was
more properly prepared.
The Canadians simply re
quested a second run for Soren
sen, but the jury — headed by
American Hank Tauber —
quickly ordered a complete res
tart.
As fog descended even fur
ther down Mount Jahorina,
French Coach Sylvain Dao-
Lena said conditions were so
dangerous he would not allow
his three racers to compete at
the re-start time, two hours af
ter its original scheduled start.
Eventually, officials decided
racing was impossible — partic
ularly at the fog-shrouded bend
where Sorensen crashed — and
called off the downhill for the
day.
Originally scheduled for last
Saturday but put back because
of snowstorms, conditions
seemed sufficiently good at
noon Wednesday to hold the
race. Six forerunners went
down the track, followed by six
of the lower-ranked skiers to
cut a line for the more-favored

SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia —
United States’ chances in the
Olympic 4-man bobsled compe
tition, due to start Friday, re
ceived a big boost Tuesday with
the acquisition of reserve Swiss
driver Hans Hiltebrand’s sled.
Hiltebrand, used the sled
Tuesday to record the fastest
time of the four 4-man training
runs on the Trebevic bob-luge
run.
However, Hiltebrand trained
only as part of the reserve crew
on the Swiss team.
The transaction that brought
the sled into U.S. team posses
sion was made through an in
termediary, and Hiltebrand,
sole owner and designer of the
sled, reportedly received
$ 10,000 in the deal.
The No. 1 United States team
piloted by JeffJost, Burke, N.Y.
will use the sled in Wednesday’s
two training runs and in the
competition.
“It is much faster off the start
than our sled,” said Yost, who
along with his crew practiced
starts with the sled after Tues
day’s third training run was
cancelled. “It is aerodynami-
cally clean. We just have to get
familiar with it before we race
it.”
Although Camichdi

United Press International
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —
Alvin Robertson scored 27
points Wednesday night, in
cluding 18 in the second half, to
lead the 13th-ranked Arkansas
Razorbacks to a 55-48 South
west Conference basketball vic
tory over Texas Christian.
Robertson gave Arkansas the
lead with 15:06 left in the game
after the Razorbacks trailed the
Horned Frogs for more than 10
minutes. He later responded
with eight straight points to
boost the Arkansas lead to 49-
38.
Arkansas, which upset top-
ranked North Carolina on Sun
day, improved to 20-4 overall
and 10-1 in the SWC to remain
a game behind fourth-ranked
Houston. TCU dropped to 9-14
overall and 2-10 in the confer
ence.
Joe Kleine had nine points
for the Razorbacks and eight re
bounds, which tied him with
Robertson for rebounding hon
ors. Tracy Mitchell paced the
Horned Frog bombers with 17
points, while Dennis Nutt
added 14.
Arkansas led by as many as
five points on three occasions in
the first half, but TCU tied the
score at 15-all with 9:22 left on a
drive by Mitchell. The Horned
Frogs then reeled off six un
answered points for a 21-15
lead with 6:44 left.
Arkansas had a chance to
take the halftime lead as Rob
ertson went in for an uncon
tested stuff. But Keenan De-
Bose was called for a personal
foul in the backcourt and
Mitchell hit both TCU free
throws for a 28-25 halftime ad
vantage.
