sports U.S. continues Olympic medals domination By D. BYRON YAKE AP Sports Editor LOS ANGELES Michael Gross of West Germany became the first double gold winner of the 1984 Sum mer Olympics yesterday with a world-record performance, but he was denied a third gold when the United States, anchored by Bruce Hayes, won the 800-meter freestyle relay by the stretch of a hand. The United States continued its overall medals domination with three golds on the second day of competition and nine medals over all. West Germany moved into sec ond place in the medals' count. Lai Runming tied the Olympic weightlifting record in the snatch during the 123-pound weightlifting class, with a lift of 270 pounds, equalling the record set in 1980 in Moscow by Cuba's Daniel Nunez. In that event, Albert Hood set, an American snatch record of 248 pounds. The swimming relay race was memorable and dramatic, with the United States breaking a world re cord its second-string team had set in qualifying,earlier in the day. Hayes' teammates had given him a two-length lead when he dove into the water for the last 200 meters. But Gross quickly made up one length and even moved ahead be fore both swimmers swam toward the finish line in a dead heat. Then, Gross seemed to tire, mov ing toward the left of his lane, and Hayes won the race at the wall by the length of a hand. That gave the U.S. swimming team its sixth gold medal in five events. The time was 7:15.69 and broke the world record of 7:18.87 set ear lier in the day with a U.S. team that included two swimmers who did not qualify for the finals in individual events. In swimming relays, it is not necessary for the same set of swim mers to compete in both qualifying and finals. The relay team Mike Heath, David Larson, Jeff Float and Hayes hugged and waved and shouted in glee. The crowd, waving American flags, standing, cheering, loved it. "We turned even at the hundred. I thought, `Ohhhh,"' Hayes said of his duel with Gross. "But after the third 50, he really Miller leads U.S. lady cagers By GEORGE STRODE AP Sports Writer - INGLEWOOD, Calif. Cheryl Miller's all-around game team highs of 23 points, eight rebounds, five assists and five steals led the United States to an 83- 55 thrashing of Yugoslavia yesterday in the Olympic women's basketball opener. In men's games yesterday, Italy, which took a silver in 1980, defeated West Germany 80-72 and Brazil rallied to whip Egypt 91-82. China's women, the leading Olympic pre-tournament qualifiers, also posted a come-from-behind decision, beating Australia 67-64. In contests last night, Yugoslavia, the 1980 Olympic champion, played Australia in men's action and Cana da's women took on South Korea. The American men, 97-49 victors Sunday over China, did not play yesterday. The United States faces Canada at 4:30 p.m. PDT today in the Forum. Once Yugoslavia built a 25-23 lead late in the first half, Miller took over. The 6-3 forward-guard, the leader of Southern Cali fornia's two-time women's college champions, scored 10 points in the last four minutes of the opening half. Miller hounded the Yugoslays on defense. She stole the ball. She started the Americans' fast break. She sank four consecutive free throws. She passed off to Kim Mulkey for a three-point play. Miller's performance meant a 43-29 halftime lead for the United States. "I needed to get a key steal," Miller said.

Gonzales scored a knockdown, but it was hand and foot speed that were the keys to a 5-0 victory over Kwang-Sun Kim of South Korea in a first-round 106- pound match. Hill blasted Edward Neblett of Barbados with nu merous hard left hooks and one crashing right to stop him in a 165-pound match last night at the Sports Arena. A third U.S. boxer, Evander Holyfield, 178, fought later last night. Hill forced Neblett to take a standing-eight count with the crunching right. Then, after Hill landed a left right to the head, the referee stopped the bout at 2:47, much to the chagrin of Neblett.

That was what we were lacking," said the 1984 College Player of the Year. Said U.S. Coach Pat Head Summitt: "Cheryl is just a great athlete. She has been a great compliment to the USA program. She is an explosive player." The game had been expected to be one of the most severe tests for the Americans. The Yugoslays were the bronze medalists in the 1980 Olympics, boycotted by the United States. "I went into this game thinking it could be a long 40 minutes," said Summitt, a co-captain of the 1976 U.S. silver medalists. "I'm certainly pleased to go into the second game on this note, with this momentum. "Our team played very hard defensively. We had a lot of help off the ball. We played a fast tempo. That's the key for us," the U.S. coach said. The Americans' person-to-person defense, led.by the ball-hawking of Miller and Mulkey, forced the Yugos lays into 21 errors. With Miller again the leader, the United States controlled the rebounding 41-24, also helping launch the Americans' breaking attack. "I think the United States play fantastically," said Milan Vasojevic, the Yugoslav coach. "Even if the Soviets had been here, the United States would sill have won. They have a great defense." Pamela McGee, another Southern California star, scored 13 points. Lynette Woodard, the college game's career scoring champion out of Kansas, hit 11 points. Jasmina Perazic, who played four years at Maryland, sparked the Yugoslays with 24 points, all but six of them coming in the first half. Dakota flag, admitted to being stunned early. "After I got hit like that it just woke me up. I got my second wind and I started thinking." Joon-Sup Shin of South Korea, and Pedro van Raamsdonck of the Netherlands, two other leading contenders for the gold at 165, also won. The left-handed Shin, the World Cup champion, rocked Patrick Lihanda several times with lefts to the head and scored a 5-0 decision. The 6-foot-4 van Raamsdonck couldn't seem to cope with the coun terpunching of Kenyan Agustus Oga, but got a 4-1 decision, which was roundly booed. It was was expected to be an extremely tough test for 5-foot-8 1 / 2 Gonzales, the No. 3-ranked 106-pound boxer in the world. But the 20-year-old from East Los Angeles dominated the second-ranked Kim, knocking him down in the first round. , The boxer thought to be his toughest remaining opponent, Rafael Ramos of Puerto Rico, is in a different bracket, and the two would not meet until the final Aug. 11. Ramos won on a walkover yesterday when Carlos G. Salazar of Argentina failed to make weight. In his next match, Gonzales will fight William Bongonza of Uganda. .•gg Gross said. "I cannot believe it.

American gymnasts in front early By DAVID MINTHORN Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES Diminutive teen-agers Mary Lou Retton and Julianne McNamara paced U.S. gymnasts to the early lead yester day in the team compulsory exer cises opening women's Olympic competition. Romania, favored for the gold medal, and a strong Chinese team were competing in a session last night. The Americans compiled 195.70 points at midday to far out distance West Germany, 189.85, Japan, 187.60, and Spain, 185.40. Retton, 16, of Fairmont, W.Va., led the American team with 39.50 points out of a possible 40 in the program of required moves on four apparatus events. The 4-9 star had a high mark of 9.95 on the floor exercises and 9.90 in vault, 9.85 on the balance beam and 9.80 on uneverfbars for a glit tering debut that drew wild cheers from 8,679 fans at Pauley Pavilion. McNamara, 18, of San Ramon, Calif., was right behind with 39.45 points, including 9.90 s on bars and floor exercises, 9.85 on beam and 9.80 on vault. U.S. coach Don Peters of Hunt ington Beach, Calif., was critical of the scoring, particularly that of Romanian judge Julia Roterescu, who marked the balance beam. "I don't understand why she wasn't removed from the floor," the irate Peters said at a news conference. Her scoring was abom inable. We performed well on the balance beam and she hammered us." Retton graded her performance in the floor exercise as "the best I've ever done." "I reacted to the crowd and played to them," she said. "I was having a good time." The U.S. women haven't won an Olympic medal in gymnastics since taking a bronze in the team event at the 1998 London Games. With the Soviet Union and other strong Eastern European teams boycotting Los Angeles, the Ameri cans seem assured of at least a bronze, if not a silver, in team, and medals in the apparatus finals this Sunday.

Curtis Harnett of Canada took the silver with 1:06.436 and Fabrice Colas of France the bronze in 1:06.649. The highest American finish was an eighth place by Rory O'Reilly, who clocked 1:07.390 and never contended. But in swimming, the records seemed to be falling like stars. In the 100 butterfly qualifying, Gross' 54.02 had disposed of Mark Spitz's final Olympic record of 54.27 seconds, but minutes later Morales battered Gross's time with a 53.78. That set the stage for the final, and it was dandy. Morales had the lead until about 10 meters remained when he ap peared to move slightly to his right in the lane. Gross, with his incredi ble 7 1 / 2 -foot wingspan from finger tip to fingertip then moved out in front and won at the finish line.

For Elliott, timed in 1 minute, 47.49 seconds, the race made up for a recent poor showing at Oslo, Norway, where he finished eighth. For Scott, considered among the favorites for the gold medal in the 1,500 meters at the Olympic Games, it was a dreadful showing, as he finished fourth. He was so dejected after the race that he refused to talk with the media. "I definitely needed a morale booster," said Elliott, who grabbed the lead with about 400 meters remaining and held it the rest of the way. "I thought Steve Scott would have been up there at the finish," added Elliott, the fourth-place fin isher in last year's World Championships.

"This was to see how much speed I had," said Walker, the 1976 Olympic 1,500 gold medalist, who was clocked in a slow 2 minutes, 19.37• seconds for the 1,000. "I wanted to run 2:16. I was able to run off the front with 400 meters to go, but the time was slow." Walker said, however, that he had been running well in training and was in excellent condition. He said he would decide between the 1,500 and 5,000 after meeting with his coach today. But he said he would not announce his decision until three days before his first scheduled race in the Games.

O'Brien, the Jets' first-round draft choice out of Cal-Davis a year ago, appeared in two exhibition games as a rookie completing 18 of 28 passes for 167 yards but didn't see any action during the 1983 season. An off-season trade that sent Rich ard Todd to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a No. 1 draft pick left Walton with a pair of candidates for the No. 1 job O'Brien and Pat Ryan who never have started an NFL game. Ryan, beginning his seventh sea son, completed 21 of 40 passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns in 1983. Walton described him as a "good competitor" who also has the ability to step in as a starter. "I still feel the same way as I did," Walton said. "I want two guys who are capable of starting.
