Team USA happy,
disappointed at T1
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — The
U.S. hockey team is right where it
expected to be, if not where it wants
to be, in the Winter Olympics.
“We figured to be one-and-one at
this point,” said Public Relations Di
rector Mike Schroeder as the U.S.
team prepared to play the second-
seeded Soviet Union Wednesday
night. “Looking at the schedule
long-range, it appears now that West
Germany will be our most important
game.”
That game will be Sunday and it
could determine whether the Ameri
cans reach the six-team medal
round.
The U.S. team began Olympic
play with a 10-6 victory over Austria
last Saturday as expected, and lost to
Czechoslovakia 7-5 Monday night,
which was also expected. The Cze
choslovaks are seeded third in the
Olympics, and the United States is
No. 7.
If form follows in this tourna
ment, the Americans should lose to
the second-seeded Soviets Wednes
day night and beat No. 10 Norway
on Friday night.
That would give them a 2-2 re
cord and force them to beat No. 6
West Germany to have any chance
for a place in the medal round. The
West Germans are 2-0 so far after a
surprising victory over Czechoslova
kia on opening day and a win over
Norway.
But even if the Americans defeat
West Germany next Sunday, noth
ing is guaranteed ^ for them under
the complicated Olympic system.
The top three teams in each pool ad
vance after the Five-game round ro
bin, but one of the determining fac
tors could be the score of the U.S.-
West Germany game. At this point,
the Americans have to beat the West
Germans by two goals.
The American players have taken
note of all the games that have gone
against form in this tournament.
“The Swiss weren’t supposed to
beat the Finns and the Germans
weren’t supposed to beat the
Czechs,” said Corey Milieu, the scor
ing leader of the U.S. team. “Hock
ey’s a funny game.”
And the Polish team wasn’t sup-
osed to give Canada a tough time
efore losing 1-0 and tying top-
seeded Sweden 1-1, cither.
“There’s a lot of parity in this
tournament," said Art Berglund, the
general manager of the U.S. team.
“People don’t realize how many
good hockey teams there are in this
year’s Olympics. They can all skate
well.”
Like many of the American play
ers, goaltender Mike Richter Figured
his team would be 1-1 after the first
two games. But when the Americans
jumped to an early 3-0 lead against
the Czechs Monday night, he wasn’t
thinking “1-1” anymore. Then, he
was thinking “2-0.”
“Any time you’re up with a lead
like that (3-0 after 6:08 of the first
period), it really hurts to lose it."
Richter said.
If he was upset by the loss, U.S.
Coach Dave Peterson didn't show it.
Asked how the team would react
against the Soviets after such a
“crushing” loss, Peterson responded
sharply.
"It’s not crushing," he said.
“Those are your words, not mine. It
was really only a one-goal loss (to the
Czechs). They got an empty-net goal
at the end. It was a disappointing
loss because we lost the lead, but not
the end of the world. We’ll he hack.”
Swiss skier headed
for 2nd gold of week
MOUNT ALLAN, Alberta (AP)
— Switzerland’s peerless Pirmin
Zurbriggen took a major step toward
his second gold medal of the Winter
Olympics Tuesday by winning the
downhill portion of the men’s com
bined by almost half a second.
Results of the downhill will be
coupled with slalom results Wednes
day to determine a combined cham
pion.
The combined is returning to the
Olympics after a 40-year absence.
The competition, including separate
downhill and slalom races, has been
contested in the World Alpine
Championships since 1982.
Zurbriggen, who overtook team
mate Peter Mueller to win the regu
lar men’s downhill on Monday, was
timed in 1:46.90 in the combined
race. It was held on the same course
as Monday’s race but was shortened
by moving the start down the hill by
about 200 yards.
Franck Piccard of France, the
bronze medalist in the regular
downhill, was second in 1:47.38, and
Felix Belczyk of Canada was third in
1:48.24.
Steven Lee of Australia was tenta
tively listed in third place at 1:47.39,
but he was later disqualified for miss
ing a gate.
Luxembourg’s Marc Girardelli,
one of the favorites for the com
bined title, did not start the down
hill. The official reason for his ab
sence was given as a sore elbow
stemming from an injury in a down
hill fall at Leukerbad,‘Switzerland,
last month. Girardelli said his elbow
was still causing him problems when
he pushes off at the starting gate.
But the headstrong, sometimes
petulant Girardelli may have had an
other reason for not racing. He re
portedly is embroiled in a dispute
with his ski manufacturer over pre
paration of his equipment for Mon
day’s downhill.
His withdrawal may have given
Zurbriggen clear sailing for the com
bined gold medal. Among World
Cup competitors this season, only
Zurbriggen and Girardelli have fin
ished in the top five in both a down
hill and slalom.
Giraredlli does plan to ski in the
super giant slalom on Sunday.
Three Austrians and a West Ger
man appear to have the only shots at
denying Zurbriggen another gold
medal. Hubert Strolz was fifth in the
downhill, Guenther Mader was 1 1th
and Bernhard Gstrein was 15th. The
three Austrians all are strong in sla
lom, which is Zurbriggen’s weakest
event.
US wins bronze
in figure skating
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Eka
terina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov
of the Soviet Union won the gold
medal in pairs figure skating Tues
day night, while the United States
won its first medal of the Winter
Olympics when Jill Watson and
Peter Oppegard took the bronze.
Second place went to defending
gold medalists Elena Valova and
Oleg Vasiliev of the Soviet Union.
While the Soviets continued their
strong showing in these Games,
Americans had little to cheer about
before Watson and Oppegard
skated to their world ranking and
won their bronze medal.
Further emphasizing the Ameri
cans’ newly found depth in pairs,
Gillian Wachsman and Todd Wag
goner wound up fifth.
Gordeeva, the sprightly 16-year-
old who has entranced crowds
throughout the world the last two
years, and Grinkov clearly were the
class of the competition. Their
jumps, lifts and spins were perfect.
Gordeeva’s landings on every jump
were as light as a feather and the
sellout crowd rose and gave them a
thunderous ovation when they com
pleted their long program.
Gordeeva and Grinkov, 20, were
first with all nine judges in both the
short and long program. Skating to
music by Chopin and Mendelson,
they received 14 5.9 marks and four
5.8s out of a perfect 6.0.
Valova and Vasiliev, skating for
the first time together this year after
she was sidelined with ligament
damage in her ankle, finished sec
ond with every judge. Vasiliev
touched down on side-by-side triple
toe loops, but the rest of their pro
gram — to “The Final Countdown”
by the rock group Europe and
“Snowstorm” from the Bolshoi The
ater — was clean.
Watson, 24 of Bloomington, Ind.,
and Oppegard, 28, Knoxville,
Tenn., came in third in the 1987
worlds. They might have moved up
to second here with a stronger free
style performance.
But Watson fell on her double
axel jump and did only a single flip
while Oppegard did the planned,
double flip late in the program.
They also skated slowly.
Still, they held onto third place.
Wachsman, 21, Riverside, Conn.,
and Waggoner, 22, Schaumburg,
Ill., went last and also could have
moved up. But they slipped on some
of their footwork and she touched
down on a double axel. Wachsman
also landed on two feet on another
jump.
That allowed Soviets Larisa Selez
neva and Oleg Makarov, who were
seventh in the short program, to
surge to fourth despite a fall of their
own.
Kim and Wayne Seybold of Mar
ion, Ind. finished 10th.
