Canadian gymnasts
predicted to do well .

The strongest competition
for Canadian gymnasts al
the Commonwealth Games
is likely to come, net from
England or Australia, but
from other Canadians.

“T would say the Canadian
team, both men and women,
has an excellent chance of
taking top placement in both
team and individual com-
petition,’ said Gladys
Hartley, the team manager.

The team events are
scheduled for Aug. &7 and
the individual all around
competition Aug. 8-9.

Predictions are based on
the performance of the
Canadians in international
competition . because
gymnastics-has never been a
Commonwealth Games
event in the past.

There doesn't seem to be
anyone from other Com-
monwealth countries who
ean come close to Philip
Delesaile, the 21-year-old
men’s champion from
Victoria.

Delesalle is rated among
the top three in the world on
the pommel horse, one of six
events in men’s competition.
He reinforced his rating by
earning a perfect mark of 10
in an international meet in
Vancouver in February.

He is also a solid all-round
gymnast, meaning he could
be tops on the rings, vault,
parallel bars, horizontal bar
ond in the floor exercises.

If anyone is to threaten his
dominance, it could be other
members of the Canadian

Austarlian
wins
bathtub

race

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Gary Deathbridge of
Melbourne, Australla, won
the 12th annual world
championship bathtub race
in record time Sunday,
clipping two minutes and 35
seconds of the old mark set
last year by countryman
Phil Holt,

Deathbridge, 23, covered
the 54 kilometres from
Nanaimo, B.C. on Vancouver
Island, to Vancouver's
English Bay in one hour, 29
minutes and 40 seconds,

Holt, who was going for his
third world title, finished
second, more than 12
minutes behind Death-
bridge.

A total of 142 tubs entered
this year’s race. Conditions
for the race wera almost
ideal, although the tubs had
to battle a light chop across
the Strait of Georgia.

Meanwhile, police sald
Sunday more than 140 people
were arrested in Nanaimo on
the weekend during pre-race
festivities.

Most of those picked up for
drinking-relate incidents
were allowed to sober up and
then released. Only a few
charges were laid, police

said.

Police also said there were
almost no reports of van-
dallszm— a major change
from other years when
several windows were
broken and potice clashed
_ with crowds.

men’s team—Jean

t Choquette, 22, of Montreal,

Owen Wilastrom, 24, of
Vancouver, and Nigel Hoth-
well, 21, of Windsor, Ont.
Rothwell was a
replacement for Warren
Long who was injured at the
Canadian championships in
Ottawa but the team did not
lose much as a result of the
switch.
INVOLVED IN BATTLE
In the women’s com-
petition, ELfi Schlegel, 14, of
Toronto, the new Canadian
champion, and Karen
Kelsall, 15, of Surrey, B.C.,
the former champion, will be
in a head-to head battle. -
. But Hartley is also high on
the chances of two 13-year
olds—Monica Goermann of
Winnipeg and Sherry Hawco
of Cambridge, Ont.
And she wouldn't be
surprised if Canadian girls
were to sweep all the medals
in the individual all-round,
which includes. the vault,
uneven bars, balance beam
and floor exercises.
“England and Australia
would possibly be somewhat

of a threat to our women’s
team, but not a great deal,”
Hartley noted.
Unlike the Olympic
Games, where gold medals
were awarded for each
apparatus competition,
there will be no individual
apparatus events. But the
team and individual allround
medals will be awarded on
the basis of two separate

“competitions, not from ane

competition as in the
Olympics. There will be no
compulsory exercises in the
Commonwealth Games,

The final two days of com-
petition have been sold out
for some time and, a8 in
Montreal, it is apparent that
gymnastics has become one
of the glamor sports in in-
ternational competition.

That's a tribute to Nadia
Comaneci and Olga Korbut,
the European girls whose.
charismatic performance at
the last two Olympics have
given gymnastics ap
element of excltement that
puts it in the class with
swimming and track and
field.

Nigeria withdraws from games

African boycott fears s

EDMONTON (CP)
Athletes from seven African
countries flew into Ed-
monton on Saturday alght
and the secretary-general of
the Supreme Council for
Sportin Africa did hia best to
set to rest fears of a mass
boycott of the Com-
monwealth Games.

“T am here to make sure
Africa will take part in the
Commonwealth Games,”
JeanClaude Ganga told a
hastily called airport press
conference after a charter
carrying 204 athletes arrived
from Algiera by way of

London.

withdrawal last
Wednesday of Nigeria, the
most populous black African
member of the Com-
monwealth, had caused
concern that othera might
follow its example.

Asked whether there was
any possibility that the
Africans might decide to
withdraw at the last
moment, as they did at the
Montreal Olympics in 1976,
Ganga replied by saying:
“Fach of the teams here has
instructions from its
governments to he here.”

But he also explained that
the members of the Supreme
Council are all sovereign
nations who may act in-
dependently despite the fact

Remarkable

thelr organization has vated
in favor of taking part.

Tt now appears that nine of
the 13 African Com-

‘monwealth countries will be

here. The Air Canada 747
brought athletes from
Kenya, Zambia, Mauritius,
Gambia, Lesotho and
Malawi, An hour later the
Tarzanian team arrived.

_ Also reported on the way
were the teams from Ghana
and Swaziland.

SIERRA LEONE OUT

Sierra Leone, which had
accepted an invitation to
take part, changed its mind
at the last minute, ex-

ining that it lacked the
funds to send its five athletes
to the Games.

Uganda and Botswana are
two other absentees but they
had never said they would
come.

Nigeria, In announcing its
withdrawal, accused New
Zealand of circumventing
the 1977 agreement of
Commonwealth heads of
government to do all they
could to restrict sports
contacts with segregationist
South Africa.

Asked if he was Satisfied
that New Zealand had abided
by the agreement, Ganga
would only say ‘New
Zealand is not making our

job easy."

He declined to comment
when asked whether he tried
to get Nigeria to change its
mind, And when questioned
about whether Nigerian had
tried to get others to join a
boycott, he said there may
have been some conversa-
tions. “But it is too late. We
are here.’

The Supreme Council was
invelved in the decision by 30
countries, most of them from
black Africa, to boycott the
1976 Olympics because of the
presence of New Zealand.

Maury Van Vliet,
president of. the Com-
monwealth Games Foun-
dation, had raised the pos-

et to rest?

sibility that a meeting of
members might decide on
Bunitive action against
Nigeria and any others that
might. withdraw.

. . But Sir
Alexander Ross, the founda-
tion chairman, said he had
not considered calling such a

‘meeting.
