Mahre twins challenging for Olympic gold today U.S. captures first gold medal with slalom victory
Re United Press International
SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia — Once again the challenge has been issued to the men of America.
And on Valentine's Day it will be the turn of the Maire (hines to see if the men can accomplish what their female counterparts have achieved five times over by winning their first ever Olympic gold in skiing.
This time the guantlet was thrown by a chunky, giggling 20-year-old upstart, Debbie Armstrong, who started the season on the United States B team, worried if she would even be selected for the Olympic squad, and then made her first victory on the international circuit a monumental one.
In the biggest surprise of the Winner Olympics, Armstrong won the women's giant slam yesterday for the United States' first gold medal of the Games, teammates Christian Cooper and Tamar McKinney to a 1-24 finish.
"It's a dream I never thought about, it's so far-fetched," said Armstrong, who flung her arms into the air several times after receiving her medal, and then couldn't help from laughing during the playing of the national anthem. "I always knew if I could get my head in gear I could do it.
"I didn't do anything special, I just tried to stay calm. I didn't think about my skiing too much. In the past my problem was thinking too much. Today I didn't. I felt this would be the run of my life."
The 24-year-old Cooper turned in the best time of the first run, but after the two had lunch together, Armstrong, a second-year member of the National team, overtook Cooper on the second run at Jahorina and her aggregate of 2 minutes 20.98 seconds earned Armstrong the gold by a mere four-tenths of a second. Perrine Pelen of France was third.
"The only pressure I felt was the pressure I put on myself." Armstrong said of her feelings before the second run. "I felt if it went up there and gave it me, I must have a chance. There isn't not spot on my heel. I set up. I gave it 100 percent all the way."
Cooper, who also had two runnerup finishes in the 1982 World Championships, said she was "really happy" for her teammate.
"She was so excited before the second run." Cooper said. "I was behind her in the starting gate and I heard she ask, 'Okay, Deb, have a good time, have a good time, have the run of your life.' Then she turned to me and I asked, 'Run of your life, Coop, have a good time.' She was so hyped up it was funny."
Asked if she had any mixed emotions about settling once again for the silver, Cooper replied, "There's a little grumbling inside, but I really feel good about it. You can take all the joy out of it. Always wishing for something better."
It was only the fifth alpine gold medal and the first in 12 years for the United States in Olympic history, and all have gone to women. Of the total 16 medals
taken by Americans in alpine events, only three belong to the men.
This was supposed to be the year the men got on the gold standard, and the gaiol slam, scheduled for today, is thought to be their best opportunity. Phil Mahare has won the overall World championship in a row and took the gaiol slam last year, while his brother Steve won the "world championship" in 1982.
Neither, though, has enjoyed a good season thus far and Phil, winner of the silver medal in the slalom at Lake Plaid, N.Y., is concerned about the death of his second child and admitted he wasn't as "hungry" as he once was.
United Press International
With Pat LaFontaine scoring three goals and David A. Jensen two, the United States hockey team finally won its first game, beating Austria, 7-3, in its fourth game here. Meanwhile, Canada, the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia, all with 4-0 records, clinched berths in the medal round and Sweden is virtually assured of gaining the final spot.
Scott Hamilton, an overwhelming favorite to capture the men's gold in figure skating, got off to an even better start than anticipated yesterday by performing his luxurious figures to take the lead at a score with a score of 0.6 placements.
Jean Christophe Simond of France, acknowledged as the world's outstanding performer in school figures, was second and Rudi Ceren of West Germany was third. Brian Boitoan of Sunnyale, Calif., was eighth.
SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia — The United States 'Dobbie Armstrong' her fists in joy after receiving the country's first gold medal in 1984 Winter Olympics. The 20-year-old Armstrong from Seattle, Wash., won the medal yesterday with a first-place finish in the giant slalom.
Sickness, Cornhuskers too strong for Javhawk men swimmers
The Kansas men's swimming team fell to a strong Nebraska team at Lincoln, Neb. 75-37, after canceling that day in northeastern Missouri the day before because of sickness.
Both the men's and women's teams were scheduled to face Minnesota but BU head coach Gary Kemp said
"We weren't well enough to travel 19

hours on the road one and a half weeks before the conference championships and three and a half weeks before the national championships," Kempf said.
Unfortunately for KU, a day's rest wasn't quite enough as Nebraska, winner of the past four Big Eight Championships, allowed the Jayhawks
"Nebraska is undoubtedly the conference favorite." Kempf said, "but obviously we still weren't as well as we'd like to have been."
Although the Jayhawks were weakened because of sickness, they still had
some fine individual performances.
Carmeron Dunn placed first in the 200-yard butterfly in 1 minute, 54.28 seconds, and Todd Neugent placed first in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:3.68 for KU's only individual first-place finishes.
KU' 400-yard freestyle relay team of Doug Hiemstra, Tieerd Brink, Chris Mowery and Jay Cahill placed first with a time of 3:14.47.
"Cameron Dunn definitely had his best swim of the year, and Jamie Profitf moved up a notch in our feelings for the Big Eight Championships as did Jim Ammons," Kempf said.
Profitf, a freshman, placed third in the 1000-yard freestyle in 9:49.51 and fourth in the 500-yard freestyle in 4:44.98. Ammons was second in both the 50-yard freestyle in 21.84 and the 100-yard freestyle in 47.22.
Kansas also got second place finishers from Brad Wells in the 200-yard race. Jake 153.37 and Troy Cummins in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:17.64
In the diving events, Mike Pangle placed fourth in 1-meter competition
"We've got the best group of people in our men's program that we had in a long time." Kempf said. "But we've had some people thinking about team goals and not handling their own personal responsibilities."
In 3-meter diving, Murphy was fourth, scoring 206 points and Paula was fifth.
with a score of 270, and teammate Mark Murphy placed sixth with a score of 316.
Although the 'Huskers more than doubled the Jayhawks score, Kempf

Track teams perform well on the road
Three members of the Jayhawk men's team placed third in their events at the Illini Classic in Champaign, Ill.
3 Jayhawks win third place in their events
The Kansas men's and women's track teams traveled to two large invitational meetings during the weekend and came away with some of their best performances of the season.
They were freshman John Creighton, who ran the 440-yard dash for his best time of the season, 50.95 seconds. Clint Johnson, who跑了put 60 1/2, and David Cole, who run the mile in a time of 4:06.26.
Johnson and Cole were competing unattached since they have been redshirted for the indoor season.
Other men's team members who placed at Champaign were Bill Bunton, fourth in the 880 with a season-best time of 1.54.58, and Greg Leibert, fifth in the mile in a time of 4:11.81.
Women's head coach Carla Coffey said she was especially pleased with the performances of her shot team, a Normanoman Invitational in Norman Okla.
Sine Lerdahl placed third for the Jayhawks in the shot with a throw of 48.6' , one inch off her best mark for the season Teammate Denise Buchan, a freshman, placed sixth in the same event with a throw of 46.2'
Coffey left Lerdahl was only about two or three feet away from qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Tournament, and he played for March 8-10 in Syracuse. N.Y.
Kelly Wood was the highest finisher at the meet for the women's team. She placed second in the 800 in a personal best time of 2:19.47.
