(AP) — Minnie Roberts’ husband winced the first time he watched his 66-year. old wife hoist 100 kilograms in a national weightlifting meet. But Bob Roberts had no fear she would hurt herself: “I was afraid she was going to get knocked out of the competition,” he said. Mrs. Roberts, a tiny white- haired grandmother of three from Grand Blane Township near Flint, went on to naba national U.S. title last year in her age division of 40 years and older. “I shut my eyes and grit his farm in nearby Groveland Township. “I said I'd come over for the exercise,” he said. “I got started and I loved it. I have more energy and more pep.” Her son showed her the correct. way to wrap her knees and how to loosen up her muscles by working out. Then she learned the proper method of lifting weights. Two months later, Mrs. Rob- erts entered her first meet in Flint. “I went out there like it was nothing,” she said. “At that meet, she dead lifted 79 kilos, squat lifted 61 and bench pressed 25. kilos more than her own tional weight.

The 25-year-old native of Ste-Foy, Que., boldly stepped forth Tuesday and said he “should win the gold medal” in the 1,000-metre speed skating event at the Winter Olympic Games, which offi cially opened today. But that wasn't all. Bou- cher said he shoul also win a medal in the 1,500 metres and be in the top five of the 500. Not bad considering Bou cher's silver medal in the 1980 Games at Lake Placid, N.Y., was Canada’s first Olympic speed skating medal won by a male since Gordon Audley’s bronze in 1952. But there are legitimate reasons for Boucher’s con- fidence: he has consistently been among the world’s best speed skaters the past four years, he’s not intimidated by the Soviet presence, and American Erie Heiden is no longer competing. “It means we can win,” Boucher said of Heiden’s re- tirement after winning all five speed skating gold med- als in 1980. “In 1980, I don’t think ‘anyone was expecting to win because we knew how good he was. “Everyone was realistic, so we were all shooting for sil- Now, the field open. “Everygne has a chance to win now ... and I don't think anyone is going to win more than two gold medals,” Bou cher said.

The rest of the team is young and improving, but simply no match for the powerful Soviet and East German skaters. Even Sylvie Daigle of Sherbrooke, Que., the 1983 500-metre world champion and world short-course rec ord setter, is resigned to the fact that a medal is next to impossible. The 24-year-old college stu: dent is confident she can place in the top six in the 500 metres but that, she con fesses, is probably her limit. “My chances are very small,” said Daigle, who fin ished 19th in the 500 metres at Lake Placid. “I'm Jooking more for the top six . . . that would be very satisfactory.” Dixielce WEEKEND BUCKET SPECIAL 15 pieces of tender golden fried chicken.
