Athletes Mettle not measured in Gold it Mai Bock a Porti writer Calgary Alberta cheer up. America. The olympics Are Over and you won t have to look at those depressing medal tables anymore. Of course of did t have to look at them in the first place you could have concentrated on what the olympics were supposed to be All Aboul the spirit of the event an Opportunity for the athletes of the world to meet in Friendly Competition sportsmanship and Good Sejm. Bui in Bottom Fine America people worry about More tangible matters like How much hardware you won. Not How Many friends you made. So the Midat count became a big Deal. Not to the athletes perhaps hut then who cares what icy think .1 from be beginning icy arc raised with enl listing Ems Sci. In one car they Are told. It s not whether you win or lose it s How you play the and in the other h commentary lates ouf captains of Industry. Part of our Gross National product through the television networks is going outside the United suites said Robert Heimick president of he . Olympic committal. We arc talking j609 million Here a substantial piece of change. That is How much the chancellors of the exchequer at Abc and Abc paid for 1988 olympic television right. The Uso got Only si5 million Oft. That is More than previous shares have been and less than future ones will be. By 1992, America s share of television Revenue will be 10 percent. Depending on How deep the networks dockets go then the usos coffers will be enhanced nicely. Will that mean More medals nol necessarily. Take for example the Case of East Germany equipped with Only one fifteenth the population and one Lwe Niy fifth the Gross National product of the United states. In 16 Days of olympic Competition however. East Germany equipped with a National sports resolve that Borders an inc compulsive Vron 23 medals Nga Insl America s sin. That irks people like George Steinbrunner a mod Ern Yankee Doodle Dandy born on he fourth of july. Who Chain a new soc committee charged with up grading America s olympic performance. Even with our political social and economic sys tem there s no reason Why we can t do much much better Holmi Casays. But really we could t do much better Tor representation than we did with some of the athletes Hho wore the United slates colors at these games. There were people like Dan Jansen. Staling with a heavy heart after the death of his sister and Debbie Armstrong gamely defending her giant slalom Gold on one Good leg. There were people like Lyle Nelson trudging through the ski and shool regimen of the biathlon with no Chance against the military men of the Eastern bloc countries and Bonny Warner thrilled Vujih a personal test sixth place in the luge. There were people like Corey Millen and Scott Fusco hockey players who endured the disappoint ment of a second straight seventh place olympic Fin ish and Mary Docter the Milwaukee waitress who gave up her sport for 3vi Yean and then made it Back on the up cd Kating Cam after just two months of training. They did t win a medal among them but they hardly could be termed failures. They were Here and they competed sometimes under most trying Circum stances thai s really the whole idea. And if standings arc really so important to you. the Aba and nil. Or better yet wait a week. The Grapefruit and Cactus leagues an.1 about to Start
