Nehemiah Eyes 88 Olympics Comeback in hurdles
Renaldo Skeets Nehemiah declares he may reclaim his status as the world’s top 110 meter hurdler as he recovers from an Achilles injury and gears up for the Seoul Olympics. The 28 year old, a former 13.00 world record holder, plans extensive indoor racing and a revised outdoor schedule while contending with Greg Foster in a renewed rivalry. He missed the 1980 Games due to boycott and the 1984 Los Angeles Games due to amateur eligibility issues with the 49ers.
