Yank Vaulters Must Be At Their Best
Bert Nelson of Track and Field News previews Olympic events in Rome. He predicts American pole vaulters will dominate despite European contenders led by Janis Krasovskis. Don Bragg may struggle with injuries and weight, while Ron Morris could win gold with a 15-5% form. The discus also favors the U S, with Al Oerter and Rink Babka in contention. Szecsenyi and Piatkowski are threats, and Dick Cochran could join a U S sweep. The 50 000 meter walk appears to favor Russia, with Yedyakov as a leading contender.
