THE SEOUL GAMES / DAY 4 : Roundup : Biondi Sets His Sights on 100 Butterfly Medal

Matt Biondi, setting his sights on 7 swimming medals, won the final qualifying heat in the 100-meter butterfly Tuesday, while a pair of Eastern Europeans set Olympic records.

Biondi, of Moraga, Calif., is slated to swim in 2 finals Wednesday. In addition to the butterfly, he will anchor the 800 freestyle relay.

However, he was replaced by an alternate for the relay qualifying.

Tamas Darnyi of Hungary was clocked in 4 minutes 16.55 seconds in the men’s 400 individual medley, eclipsing the Olympic record of 4:17.41 set by Alex Baumann of Canada in the 1984 Games.

Darnyi’s world record in the individual medley is 4:15.42.

Dave Wharton of Warminster, Pa., won his heat in 4:20.84, but was 4th overall.

Silke Hoerner of East Germany smashed the Olympic record in the women’s 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:27.63, bettering the 2:28.94 set in the previous heat by Ioulia Bogatcheva of the Soviet Union.

Bogatcheva’s mark bettered the 1980 Olympic record of 2:29.64 by Lina Kachushite of the Soviet Union.

Allison Higson of Canada, the world record-holder at 2:27.27, was the No. 4 qualifier for Wednesday’s final, swimming 2:29.67.

Americans Tracey McFarlane and Susan Rapp finished 12th and 15th and did not qualify for Wednesday’s final.

Biondi, bronze medalist in the 200 freestyle on Monday, was timed in 53.46 seconds in the butterfly. In the same heat, West Germany’s Michael Gross, the gold medal-winner in the event at the 1984 Olympics, was second.

Andy Jameson of Great Britain won an earlier heat in 53.34 and was the top qualifier.

Jay Mortenson of Madison, Wis., was the 8th and final qualifier for the final in the 100 butterfly.

World record-holder Heike Friedrich of East Germany was the top qualifier in the women’s 200 freestyle. Friedrich was timed in 1:59.02, 1.47 seconds off her world mark.

Silvia Poll of Costa Rica, trying to become that nation’s first medalist in any Olympic sport, was 2nd.

Mary Wayte of Mercer Island, Wash., was 3rd and Mitzi Kremer of Titusville, Fla. was 7th.

Taekwondo: Dana Hee of Redwood City became the second U. S. woman to win a gold medal in taekwondo Sunday night. Two South Koreans and a Taiwanese were the other champions in the light and finweight divisions.

Hee defeated Karin Schwartz of Denmark in the lightweight final to join Arlene Limas of Chicago, a welterweight gold-medal winner Sunday night, as an Olympic champion.

The United States taekwondo coach, Sang Lee, stopped the competition for 40 minutes after the men’s finweight final while his protest of Juan Moreno’s loss was decided by the arbitration board.

Lee--and a sizable portion of the American-flag-waving audience--disagreed with the judge’s awarding of points to winner Kwon Tae-ho of South Korea.

Lee and U.S. Taekwondo Federation President Kyong Won Ahn accepted the judges’ decision and told Moreno to accept the silver medal.

Chin Yu-Fong of Taiwan defeated Lee Hwa-Jin of South Korea to take the women’s finweight title. Park Bong-Kwon of South Korea outpointed Jose Maria Sanchez of Spain, 3-1, for the men’s lightweight gold.

Soccer: A brilliant hat-trick by Kalusha Bwalya sparked Zambia to a shocking 4-0 win over Italy in a match at Kwangju. For the powerhouse Italians, the loss was called the nation’s worst soccer setback in 20 years.

Bwalya, a 25-year-old striker has scored 4 goals in 2 matches.

The Italians, with several top professional players, went into the match the heavy favorite. Many of the players admitted they had underestimated the Zambians.

Meanwhile, back home in the east African nation, President Kenneth Kaunda interrupted a speech to announce the game’s score to the jubilant crowd.

In other games, Iraq beat Guatemala, 3-0, at Taejon; West Germany beat Tunisia, 4-1, at Pusan; and Sweden beat China, 2-0, at Taegu.

Baseball: The U.S. team, playing its opening game before an enthusiastic but surprisingly small crowd, beat the host South Koreans, 5-3, Monday as Ben McDonald struck out 10 and Ted Wood drove in 3 runs.

McDonald, a Louisiana State sophomore who, at 6 foot 7 inches, towered over the Koreans, gave up 6 hits and 2 walks.

Wood, a University of New Orleans player drafted by the San Francisco Giants, led the U.S. on offense with a pair of doubles.

Shooting: A 19-year-old Soviet student led the way as the Eastern Bloc showed its gun power Monday by winning four of the six medals awarded in shooting.

Japan and South Korea claimed the other medals.

Nino Salukvadze won the women sports pistol, scoring an Olympic-record 690 points. The silver medal went to Japanese policewoman Tomoko Hasegawa, who scored 686 points and tied with Jasna Sekaric of Yugoslavia. Hasegawa was awarded the silver because she fared better in the final 10-shot round.

Two U. S. women, Kim Dyer and Ruby Fox, placed 24th and 26th.

Czechoslovakian army instructor Miroslov Varga captured the men’s smallbore free rifle prone (English Match). South Korea’s Cha Young-shul earned a silver after coming within three-tenths of a point of tying Varga.

Attila Zahonyi of Hungary took the bronze.

U. S. entrants Glenn Dubis and Webster Wright placed 15th and 24th.
