Russians threaten Olympics withdrawal over diver Nemtsanov incident
Montreal reports a tense Olympic scene as Sergei Nemtsanov, a 17-year-old diver who left the Olympic Village, sought refugee status prompting a Soviet note alleging kidnapping. Vitaly Smirnov warned of Russia boycotting final Olympic days and the World Ice Hockey Tournament if he is not returned, while Canada rejected the charge and pressed on with medal events and looming top contenders such as Bruce Jenner in the decathlon and Lasse Viren in the marathon.
