Americans suffer hard luck in Munich Olympics
The United States faces a disastrous run in Munich with Jim Ryun's fall in the 1500 meters ending in ninth place and four to qualify. IOC actions ousted Vince Matthews and Wayne Collett, disqualifying Rick DeMont and reshaping the U.S. relay and medals outlook. Russia leads in goals and the decathlon, while U.S. hopes hinge on archery, track, and a looming basketball final against the Russians.
