THE BATTALION
USA still ahead of Australi
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Sweet revenge for
the U.S. swimmers followed a Dutch treat at the
Sydney Games.
Jenny Thompson set a women’s record for ca
reer swimming gold medals with seven Wednesday,
anchoring an American 800-meter freestyle relay
that nipped Australia in 7 minutes, 57.80 seconds.
Thompson’s performance came minutes after
American Misty Hyman shocked world-record
holder Susie O’ Neill — another Aussie — in the
200-meter butterfly.
The U.S. victories avenged men’s losses to
Australian hero lan Thorpe and his teammates,
who beat the Americans by a fingertip in the men’s
400 free relay earlier in the week, then blew them
out in the 800 free relay.
Thompson, who has won all her golds in relays,
surpassed the six swimming golds won by Kristin
Otto of Germany.
The United States was in second place when
Thompson jumped in the pool. But she overtook
Petria Thomas, pulled away down the stretch and
brought the relay home in Olympic record time.
Hyman seemed as surprised as the Australian
fans that she won. “Oh my God!” she screamed.
“Oh my God!”
Hyman led from the start and clocked an
Olympic record 2:05.88, narrowly missing O’Neill’s
world mark. Later, she threw back her head and
drank in the moment as she stood on the medal podi
um and sang along with the national anthem.
The Netherlands also had its flag raised on a
magic day for the small European country.
Pieter van den Hoogenband won gold in the
100 free, his second of the games, and denied
Russian Alexander Popov an unprecedented third
straight Olympic title in the event.
That is not all the Dutch did Wednesday.
The Netherlands stunned Cuba 4-2 in baseball,
the first Olympic defeat ever for a Cuban team, and
Inge de Bruijn topped it off by breaking her own world
record in the semifinals of the women's 100 free.
De Bruijn finished in 53.77 seconds and beat
Thompson, who will need an amazing race in the
100 free final to win the individual gold she is
chased unsuccessfully through three Olympics.
The United States and Australia stayed on top
of the medal count after competition Wednesday.
The Americans led with 23 medals (10 gold, 7 sil
ver. 6 bronze) while Australia had 22 (7-8-7). Chi
na was third with 17 (6-4-7).

IRVING (AP) — While Troy Aik
man has been cleared to play and ex
pects to start against San Francisco,
Dallas coach Dave Campo was not as
certain about the quarterback’s status
Wednesday.
“1 feel like enough time has
passed and I don’t feel like I’m
putting myself at risk,” said Aikman,
who has missed two games since his
ninth concussion, sustained in the
season opener.
Even after Aikman took a major
ity of the snaps with the first team
during the Cowboys’ two-hour work
out Wednesday, Campo said the
quarterback's playing status had not
been determined.
“It’s an evaluation process. This is
no different than last week,” Campo
said. “We feel like he’s an experienced
quarterback. If he’s ready to go, he'll
be our starter and we go from there. 1
think it’s just a case of us at the ap
propriate time making a decision.”
Aikman did not talk to reporters
after practice, a session that was not
attended by team owner Jerry Jones.
Before practice, Aikman said he
had met with team doctors, who told
him he was clear to play.
“They say it's a decision I can
make. I’m feeling good,” Aikman
said. “The idea is
that I will be play
ing this week. I
feel like I’m capa
ble of doing that,
and am looking
forward to it.”
Aikman has not
played since being
sacked for the
fourth time in the
first half of the
opening 41-14
loss to Philadel
phia on Sept. 3.
