SEVILLE, Spain (AP) — A day
after losing her bid for a record
four gold medals, world 100-
meter champion Marion Jones
won her opening heat in the 200
meters yesterday.
Jones, who settled for bronze
in the long jump Monday night,
eased up over the final 20 meters
and crossed the line in 22.69 sec
onds, the fourth-best time of the
seven heats.
Jones hasn’t lost in the 200
since 1995 and has won 21 con
secutive finals in the event. She
said she was tired today after get
ting only five hours of sleep.
“When I was standing behind
the blocks, I should have been
visualizing the race,’’ Jones said.
“Instead, I was visualizing going
back to my hotel and going back
to bed.’’
Fellow American Inger Miller,
who took the silver behind Jones
in the 100 and figures to be her
main challenger in the 200, com
fortably won her heat in 22.92.
“It was basically like a work
out for me, just feeling it out,”
Miller said. “I’ve got the same
motivation I had in the 100, the
same high energy. That’s my
plan, to be on the podium.”
The fastest time in the
women’s 200 heats was by
Jamaica’s Beverly McDonald,
who ran 22.52. Defending 200
champion Zhanna Pintusevich of
Ukraine finished only fifth in her
heat at 23.19 but still qualified for
the next round.
Maurice Greene, the men’s 100
champion, finished only third in
his opening 200-meter race.
Greene, attempting to become the
first man to win the 100 and 200
ably won his heat in 20.60. He
said he’d been suffering from a
sciatica problem since May.
In the men’s 400-meter hur
dles, U.S. champion and gold
medal contender Angelo Taylor
failed to qualify, finishing third in
his heat (49.58) and only 19th
overall. Taylor banged his fist
against a wall in the mixed zone
area after the race and declined to
speak to reporters.
Stephane Diagana, the defend
ing champion from France, was
the fastest in the heats at 48.55,
while former champion Samuel
Matete of Zambia was fourth
overall at 48.90.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Now that he’s got a seven-
year deal worth as much as $56 million, Akili Smith
has a lot of catching up to do.
The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback of the future
took an overnight flight and arrived for what’s left
of training camp yesterday, less than three weeks
before the season opener.
Smith, the last unsigned member of the celebrat
ed quarterback class of ’99, agreed to a contract
Monday evening.
“I think I’ve missed 20 to 25 practices. It’s defi
nitely going to hurt me, but I’m still optimistic
about this year,” Smith said, looking tired from the
lack of sleep. “I want to salvage some of it.”
He got about two hours of sleep overnight,
attended a brief news conference after signing his
contract, then headed for training camp and an
afternoon workout in Georgetown, Ky.
“(General manager Mike Brown] said, T don’t
care about you sleeping, I don’t care about you eat
ing. We want you in there practicing,”’ Smith said.
Brown talked all offseason about acquiring a quar
terback to pull his team out of a decade-long rut.
He’s still hopeful that Smith can pick up the offense
quickly enough to make an impact this season.
Smith, chosen third overall behind quarterbacks
Tim Couch and Donovan McNabb, doesn’t want to
repeat the experience that Bengals quariei
David Klingler had in 1992.
Klingler, the No. 6 pick overall that season:
n’t sign until one week before the season ope
The Bengals made him the starter 12 weeks in
season, but he got sacked 10 times by Pittsburji
his debut and never panned out.
Smith, who like Klingler is represented byJ
Leigh Steinberg, has a few things in his favor. Dili
Klingler, he got to work out with the Bengalsbfi
training camp started, so he’s not as far'
“In the last couple of years, they’ve ins#
these (programs) where he’s spent a good del
time in June and July in Cincinnati working®
Steinberg said. “So the point is, he’s receivedii
preparation time.”
As they did with Klingler, the Bengals slottedS:
as a backup in his first season, hoping he’d lean
watching Jeff Blake play. The question is whethed
far enough along to deserve the No. 2 job.
“Who knows how fast he can pick it up?’^
Bruce Coslet said before the contract agreement
reached. “He’s pretty bright. He’s a couple off!
older than a normal rookie, so he’s pretty man 1
And I think he probably has been working will
stuff we sent him, but that’s not the sameasi

WASHINGTON (AP] — For
much of the summer, Mitch
Richmond’s future seemed to lie
almost anywhere but
Washington. That changed yes
terday as he signed a four-year,
$40-million contract with the
Wizards to become the highest-
paid shooting guard in the NBA.
“Hopefully my jersey is
washed,” Richmond joked to
assistant equipment manager
Jerry Walter after he returned to
the MCI Center.
The Wizards and Richmond’s
agent reached agreement last
week after stalled negotiations,
which puts Richmond ahead of
shooting guards Reggie Miller,
Kobe Bryant, Latrell Sprewell and
Ray Allen — each of whom will
make about $9 million this season.
“What can you say?”
Richmond said. “I thought that I
played a lot of years in this
league. You never know when
it’s going to come, but you want
to keep playing and let things
handle themselves.”
Last season, Richmond’s first
with the Wizards, the 34-year-old
guard led the team in scoring,
averaging 19.7 points a game.
But that scoring average was
also the lowest of Richmond’s
career. The team had a rocky sea
son, finishing 18-32 and without
a shot at the playoffs.
This season, Richmond pre
dicts a turnaround.
“I felt we were a playoff-cal
iber team last year, but things
didn’t go our way,” Richmond
said. “This year definitely I think
we’ll be a lot better team. I think
we are a playoff team.”
The Wizards acquired
Richmond in May 1998 in a trade
with Sacramento, where he had
played for seven years. After he
became a free agent at the end of
last season, Richmond looked
ready to leave Washington w)
contract talks stalled oven
Richmond’s agent fid!
offers from as many as
teams, including deals that w®
have required the Wizards tost
and trade Richmond.
“When you are applying
job, you want to really seek 1
all options,” Richmond sJ
“They explored all options/
we explored all options, and
found out the best alternative
was to remain a Wizard.’
Washington general manajji
Wes Unseld said in a state#
that retaining Richmond was
top-priority.”
“Mitch is one of the tops#
ing guards in the NBA, and
point guard Rod Strickland!
retain one of the best backet#
in the league,” Unseld said.
The Wizards have yet to si?
