Re: t-and-f: pre-olympic meets downunder (incl.A.Harrison 44.74)

This is getting a far bit of press Down Under:

http://www.olympics.smh.com.au/athletics/2000/09/04/FFXI3K82KCC.html

They didn't exactly kiss and make-up but they came as close as two big
boofy blokes dare after staging a langing match.

United States long jumper Savante Stringfellow and his Australian
man-at-war Jai Taurima shook hands rather than traded blows when they came
face-to-face for the first time yesterday at a pre-Olympic international
meeting in Brisbane.

Stringfellow was expected to kick sand in Taurima's face after the larrikin
Australian made some off-hand remarks about American jumpers being
dribblers and unable to jump in the cold because they were "dark".

Story of contest:

http://sport.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,1160603%255E5282,00.html

AMERICAN Savante Stringfellow won the long jump at the pre-Olympics meet in
Brisbane today, making a mockery of Australian Jai Taurima's taunt that
black men could not leap in the cold.

Taurima said during the week that the cooler climate in Sydney would mean
"you can pretty much knock out all the dark athletes (at the Olympics)".

But in Brisbane temperatures of about 17 Celsius, Stringfellow won with two
jumps of 8.23 metres before revealing he had competed in his running shoes
after leaving his jumping shoes at the team hotel.

Taurima was second with 8.13m, with fellow Australian and Commonwealth
champion Peter Burge third with 8.10m.

"I wish it was a bit cooler," Stringfellow said. "(Apparently) we don't
jump real good in that weather."

Stringfellow said Taurima had made a mistake in providing him with extra
motivation.

 "If I do this in Sydney I'm going to be real good," Stringfellow said. 

"This was only a start; I can go a lot further than this.

"I wished (Taurima) the best of luck at the Olympics and he told me 'good
jumping'.

"I'm the bigger man so I went over to him first and told him 'good luck'
and shook his hand."

Well, it looks like Taurima and his big mouth are finding out that American 
jumpers CAN jump well outside the US, or least well enough to beat him.
