Friday • February IOC releases 2004 Games front-runners Hurricanes blow into Aggielani GENEVA (AP) — Rome, Athens and Stockholm are the front-run ners to hold the 2004 Olympics, ac cording to a report by the Interna tional Olympic Committee released Thursday. Cape Town, a sentimental fa vorite for political reasons, was hurt by its soaring crime rate and techni cal inadequacies. Africa is the only continent never to stage the Olympics in the 100-year history of the modern games. Buenos Aires was the top con tender in South America. A record 11 cities are bidding for the showcase event that will follow the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The oth er candidates are: Istanbul, Turkey; Lille, France; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Seville, Spain; and St. Petersburg, Russia. The evaluation report was re leased just two weeks before the contenders are reduced to four or five on March 7 by an IOC panel, with final selection by the full IOC in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Sept. 5. The report said that all cities had proved their capability of organizing the games but some would need more time than others to imple ment their plans. The top criterion, according to the IOC is “the best conditions for the best athletes of the world in en vironmentally friendly venues.” Rome’s bid was praised by the IOC’s evaluation commission as “excellently planned and prepared in a professional manner.” The majority of the sports would be presented in three main Olympic areas. Facilities for football, swim ming tennis in particular were “ex cellent,” it said. Traffic was a problem in the city and extensive infrastructure im provements would have to be made to accommodate the games. Athens would boast an excellent Olympic sports center just 15 min utes from the Olympic village and the Greek government had made considerable efforts to improve the serious pollution problems in the city, the commission noted. “The many cultural events and the Olympic torch relay connecting many historic and symbolic sites in Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, would greatly en hance the overall Olympic festival,” it added. In Stockholm, the design for the main stadium, within walking dis tance of the Olympic village, was singled out for praise. Facilities were excellent and the high technological standards of the city and the country were a bonus, the report said. Cape Town’s bid, billed as a means of “unifying the South African nation through sport,” was diminished by its rowing and ca noeing courses, potential security problems, access difficulties and the city’s crime rate. “All levels of authority in the country are aware of and concerned about the serious crime situation the country is facing,” the commis sion said. Acting on plans to in crease safety and security “will be a challenge,” it said. Cape Town may still hold an outside chance on the political front, something not addressed in the purely technical assessment of this report. Buenos Aires could slip into the top four or five as the best Latin American contender. The report praised “beautiful fa cilities and surroundings” for the equestrian events and good condi tions in the soccer stadiums. The cultural program providing for a torch relay to pass through all the countries in South America and the Antarctica was also a strong point, the commission said. By Dennis Ramirez The Battalion Rony Angkriwan, The Battalion Senior Robbie Krause, practicing at Omar Smith Tennis Center The Texas A&M Men’s Tennis Team has had the opportunity to bask in a two-week break, but that will come to an end when the Uni versity of Tulsa Hurricanes will roar into town today at 1:30 for a dual match at the Omar Smith Tennis Center. A&M Head Coach Tim Cass said he looks at the unusually long break optimistically and feels the netters are prepared. “Originally, when we evaluated the long break we didn’t think it would be bad and would offer us an opportunity to gauge our problems from our first two matches," Cass said. “Well, the second match of this season got rained out, and while we have had plenty of time to work on problems we saw, 1 just hope it has n’t been too long. The guys are ready and hungry for competition.” The 34th-ranked Aggies (0-1) will face off against a 46th-ranked Hur ricanes squad of nationally recog nized tennis players. The hurricanes boast a top-three singles group with a 17-1 collective record and a strong lead player in Nenad Toroman, who is 24-3 this year and is currently sit ting on a seven-match win streak. Assistant Coach Kel Lange said the Aggies are going to rely not only on veterans such as senior Robbie Krause and junior Carlos Tori, but also will be looking for so: else to step up. "They (Tulsa) have th strong points as we do and initely in the same are,” Lange said. Theirtm singles are obviously their points, so Robbie and Cart definitely step up and pi® well, but somebodydownili going to have to executebeti we did in our first match. Cass said executing ani; up the win this time around be easier for the Aggies opening day jitters areoutofi “Looking back to our match, we went in there to compete but nervousatd time,” Cass said. “Now on anxieties are over, and notvi break we are excited rail nervous. Although it mayt sets to funnel all thaten into positive output, once will be able to execute an: cessful against Tulsa.” Lange said the Aggies: today’s challenge. "We have had a great practice and we are ready: pete,” Lange said. “It is go: a great gauge for the guy: where we stand and what accomplished since oo match. Every dual matchi but this one here is absoln ing to be a test.” ume 1C |/ie groi /ent to \bout pi fount; |ByJoeyJ Ti lence wil lay becai Icert to ra smantle F RELATED ED: e MSC 1 j|:ert in a p ■■I MSC Lady Ags face first Big 12 oppone By Lara L. Zuehlke The Battalion The No. 27 Texas A&M Women’s Tennis Team is hun gry for its first Big 12 win, and it will have a chance to feed its appetite when the University of Nebraska LadyCorn- huskers comes to Omar Smith Tennis Center Saturday. The Lady Aggies are coming off an 8-1 win over No. 28 Rice University, which puts them at 4-1 for the season. Freshman Kathryn Scott said A&M played well against the Owls, but the Lady Ags still need to work on some areas of their game. “I think we’re improving with every match,” Scott said. “As far as net play, I thought we did really good against Rice, but our serving and returning could be better.” A&M Head Coach Bobby Kleinecke said the Lady Aggies are entering a new realm as they begin con ference play “Starting out in the Big 12 is very important for us,” Kleinecke said. “This is like the third part of our season, with starting conference matches. There is a lot at stake for us, because every match we play is going to be ex tremely important.” Kleinecke said conference play will be difficult be cause of the new lineup of teams. “The problem is that there are a lot of unknowns, be cause we’ve never played over half of the conference,” Kleinecke said. Freshman Leslie Dees said the Lady Ags are ready to face the Cornhuskers, but a quick start will be needed to pull out the win. “We’ve gained a lot of confidence after beating Louisiana State University and Rice,” Dees said. "As a team, we’d like to get a good start and come out strong against Nebraska.” Kleinecke said Saturday’s game, the first matchup between the Lady Ags and the Huskers, will be a Rony Angkriwan,' Freshman Lisa Dingwall, practicing at OmarS Tennis Center tough win. “They (Nebraska) are going to have a heavy group,” Kleinecke said. “This is probablvf team that they’ve had in years.” Kleinecke said the game will come downtojP team wants the win more. “We’re going to have to be mentally in the® Kleinecke said. “We’ll have to be as prepatt fight as hard as we’ve had to in the lastfewnii I think intensity-wise we are fine, but it’s ter of continuing.” Panthers steal Barrows from Oile CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers’ linebacking corps, which produced three Pro Bowl players last season, got younger and faster Thursday when the NFC West champions signed Micheal Barrow. “We’re excited about having him here, and we feel like we can utilize his abilities in a lot of different ways,” coach Dom Capers said of Barrow, an unrestricted free agent who spent his first four NFL seasons with Houston. The Panthers landed Barrow with a five-year deal worth nearly $ 19 million. The package includes a signing bonus of $5.5 million. “It wasn’t about money. It was about the ability to win a ring,” said Barrow, who added that his years with the Oilers lacked the championship atmosphere that prevailed in his col lege days with the Miami Hurricanes. “That was important to me,” he said. “I wanted to get back in that type of atmosphere.” Barrow, 26, will become the youngest member of a linebacking corps that was a main ingredient in the Panthers’ surprising second sea son, which produced a 13-5 record, a division title and an appearance in the NFC championship game. Car olina led the NFL in sacks, finished second in points allowed and had seven players named to the Pro Bowl, including outside linebackers Kevin Greene and Lamm Lathon and inside linebacker Sam Mills. The 6-foot-2,236-pound Barrow will take an inside spot held in each of Carolina’s first two seasons by Carlton Bailey, who finished third on the team this past year with 90 tackles. Barrow, known for his speed and acceleration, will give the Pan thers a boost over the relatively slow-footed Bailey, 32, an unre stricted free agent who has not been offered a contract by the Panthers. Chad Brown, a Pro Bowl line backer for the Steelers, was the Pan thers’ top priority, but he never made it to Charlotte. Brown can celed his visit with the Panthers to sign a six-year, $24-milhon deal with Seattle last Friday, the opening day of the free-agent period. Carolina then turned its atten tion to Barrow, who last season was second on the Oilers with 106 tack- urtle les and also had six sacks, a recovery and four forced “He had some important erations that had to beaddi Carolina general manager lian said. “It was not an easy took quite some time.” Barrow was concerned ah position — he has spenthisft life bouncing between outsiil inside linebacker—andalso ed to see ifCharlotteisagood for teen-agers.
