This weekend the Castlegar Aquanauts will be trav elling south across the border to attend the Colville Valley Invitational Swim Meet silt: a « One of the longest Olympic history should come to an end when the national swim team splashes into action at the Los Angeles Games later this month. Seventy-two years have passed since George Hodgson claimed the gold for Canada in the 400- and 1,500-metre freestyle events at the Stockholm Games. But the 38member team that will compete at the University of Southern California pool July 29-Aug. 4 is believed by its coaches to be one of the best Canada has ever sent to the Games. “We have an experienced men's team and an enthu siastic women’s team and although I don't want to make a specific medal prediction, I think we have an excellent chance to not only win the gold, but also to surpass our medal total at the (1976) Montreal Games,” says Trevor Tiffany, head coach of the 1984 squad. At Montreal, the team garnered eight medals six bronze and two silver — and, as a result of the Soviet-led boycott this year, is expected to eclipse that total. The team is led by world record holders Alex Baumann of Sudbury, Ont., in the 200- and 400-metre individual medleys, and Victor Davis of Waterloo, Ont., in the 200-metre breaststroke. “But it will stil be very competitive and I think TU take a 4:15 to win the gold.” f previous world mark in the 400 individual medley of 4:19.61 was held by Jens-Peter Berndt of East Germany, one of the boycotting countries. Baumann’s stiffest competition in the individual medley will likely come from Ricardo Prado of Brazil. SHOWS FEROCITY Davis is one of the fiercest competitors on the entire Canadian Olympic team and his supporters point out that his highly-publicized chair-kicking incident at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia, with Queen Elizabeth in attendance, is indicative of that fierce spirit and competitive drive. Hampered by sciatica since April, Davis's training for the Olympic trials was not as intense as he would have liked. But he boldly proclaimed after his world-record swim that “I can go a lot faster than that.” Backstroker Mike West of Waterloo, Ont., and butterfly specialist Tom Ponting of Calgary also loom as bona fide medal contenders. West lowered the Canadian and Commonwealth standard in the 200 metres to 2:01.20 at the trials, but will be hardpressed to outdistance American Rick Carey, the world record holder at 1:58.93 in the 200 and also in the 100 at 55.19. in Los Angeles and that's why I wanted to get under two minutes,” said Ponting. “There's only about six guys in the world who have done it and now I'm in with them.” HAS POTENTIAL The women’s team won't be deprived of a medal for lack of effort. In fact, because of the absence of the powerful East German squad, it could find itself har. vesting a bumper crop of silver and bronze medals. Breaststroker Anne Ottenbrite of Whitby, Ont., freestyle specialist Julie Daigneault of Pointe Claire, Que., backstroker Michelle MacPherson of Toronto and the multi-disciplined Donna McGinnis of Edmonton, who qualified for four events at Los Angeles during the trials, form the nucleus of a young and promising team. The Eastern-bloe boycott of Los Angeles leaves the way open for the United States to stage a gold rush in the swimming mens and 14 women's races and seriously challenge the record of 20 gold medals set by U.S swimmers at the 1968 Mexico C ity Games. ; The U.S. squad of 43 swimmers is a blend of 16 swimmers selected to the 1980 Olympics and 27 new comers. But only 1976 gold medallist Jill Sterkel has actually competed in an Olympic Games because of the U.S.-led boycott of Moscow four years ago.

Games more mental MONTREAL (CP) — Life, at least during the two weeks of the Los Angeles Olympics, should hold no surprises for high jumper Alain Metellus. Not even if the 19-year-old Montrealer wins a gold med al, or sets a world record by being the first man to jump 2.43 metres (eight feet). Since coach Daniel St. Hil aire started working with Metellus in 1978 he has al ways predicted 1985 would be the first year Metellus would be consistently un beatable. Consistency may stil] be a year away, but this month's Olympics in Los An geles are a one-shot affair “I'm not saying Alain can beat anyone on any day,” said Sat. Hilaire. “Nobody in high jumping can (currently) say he'll win 90 per cent of the time. But this year is only a one-day meet and Alain is just prepared for one meet.” St. Hilaire has invested $8,000 of his own money, part of an estimated total of $50,000 in cash and services, into Metellus's preparations this year. Metellus has consulted with a nutritionist about his diet and been tested for food allergies, he's been tutored on the art of giving television interviews, and he’s worked on mental preparation with a sports psychologist imported from California. MAKES PREPARATIONS The pair have bought a weight machine and an elec tro-stimulator; visited the Los Angeles Coliseum, site of the jumping competition; and consulted Quebec high jump ers Claude Ferragne and Robert Forget, who both competed in the 1976 Olym pics, about the atmosphere “The Games are more mental than physical,” said St. Hilaire. “The competition is decided not by the physical but on anther level of cons. ciousness. “It's in the warmup, the parade to the pit, how you look at your opponent in the waiting area.” They also have a list of 50 questions with which St. Hil aire can pepper Metellus so that once he is alone on the jumping apron, Metellus will have the answers. Metellus also had to decide he was prepared to beat vet eran Canadian jumper Milt Otey of Toronto, No. 1 ranked in the event in 1982. Metellus first bested the 24-year-old Otey at the World University Games in Edmonton last summer St. Hilaire has also made a Official profit wil LOS ANGELES (REUT ER) In the final, feverish days of preparation before the start of the Los Angeles Olympics, the organizers have already announced vic tory in the toughest event of all the race to make the Games profitable Ever since Los Angeles won the right to stage the Olympics, the question most often asked has been whe ther the Games can end the shocking record of financial losses and emerge on the credit side of the balance sheet Despite the Soviet-led boy cott and other complications, Olympic officials have been unwavering in their insis tence that revenue from the Games will breast the tape ahead of expenditure, al though they concede it will be a photo finish At the start of the year, Olympics chief Peter Ueber roth predicted a $15 million surplus, or three per cent of a budget of $500 million But since the withdrawal of the Soviet Union and 13 of its allies cut the number of countries attending to 140, Ueberroth has stopped men detailed analysis of what will be required to win the event. He figures a jump equal- ling the world record of 2.38 metres on the first attempt, for example, should be good for a silver or bronze. A 2.40 jump on the third attempt would likely yield a gold, sil. ver or bronze. A 2.43 jump should earn a gold. “Things that had to be done have been done,” said St. Hilaire. “When I'm sitting in the Olympic stadium, I will be saying ‘mission accom plished — now it's Alain's turn’.” Ss insist be made tioning figures and has re. ferred instead to a “tiny” surplus. Ueberroth and his colleag ues in the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Commit tee are reluctant to say just how they are going to bal. ance the books and honor their commitment to run the Games at no cost to Los An geles taxpayers. For the first time, the Games are being financed entirely by the private sec tor, with most of the money coming from companies such as Coca-Cola and MacDonalds paying a minimum of $4 mil lion each for the privilege of being called official Olympic sponsors. By far the biggest contri butor to the Olympic treas- ury is the American radio and television network ABC, which agreed to pay $225 million for the exclusive rights to televise the Games. But there now is some de. bate over whether ABC is obliged to pay the full amount in the wake of the Soviet-led boyeott and the possible loss of viewer inter. est in the 180 hours of Games coverage that the network plans to broadcast.
