Americans Blank At Olympics In Mexico City Opener
On opening day of the 19th Olympiad in Mexico City the United States saw two golds go to Temu of Kenya and Nasiri of Iran in weightlifting while American efforts highlighted track and field. Temu won the 10,000 meters amid altitude challenges as Clarke faded and Keino withdrew, and Nasiri set a world mark in weightlifting. U.S. athletes posted solid showings in various events including a 49.0 second 400 hurdles by Ron Whitney and a strong shot put by Randy Watson, with qualitative performances across rowing, sprinting, and diving. A Ghana Ghana-Israel soccer clash sparked by-field chaos also marred the day.
