OLYMPIC REPORT 30 DAYS TO THE GAMES : Moceanu, Miller Still in the Hunt

Injured gymnasts Shannon Miller and Dominique Moceanu will be allowed to try to make the Olympic team without competing at next week’s trials, USA Gymnastics ruled Tuesday.

Miller and Moceanu, winners of the last two national titles, each petitioned to skip the trials because of physical problems made worse by competing at the nationals.

Miller, 19, has an ongoing problem with her left wrist. Moceanu, 14, has a four-inch stress fracture in her right leg.

With one month to go before the opening ceremonies, Atlanta Olympic chief Billy Payne reiterated that the city will be ready for the Games, despite the myriad construction projects still clogging downtown streets.
