temperature in the Low 50s and splashes of rain contributed somewhat to the record but what contributed More to it was the sudden switch from a Good downtown Madrid stadium with its artificial turf to the Cin Der Oval on Torrejon air fear of terrorism was the reason cited for the change of the switch possibly Cost Zaragoza Leonard Jones a Dodds his 68 High jump tops the 1985 stars and stripes Honor
