Louganis out with wrist injury

Louganis has a cyst in his wrist and has had it treated by doctors. [Ron O'Brien] said the diver will aim at getting back to the platform by June when he competes in the pre-Olympic meet in Seoul. Finishing fourth was Mark Bradshaw of Columbus, Ohio, who won the national indoor one-meter title while Louganis was taking the 10-meter this year. Fifth was Li Hongping of China, who is training at the University of Southern California.

Injured Greg Louganis to miss U.S.-China event in Largo

[Greg] Louganis, holder of 41 national titles and two Olympic gold medals, will forego this week’s United States vs. China diving meet in Largo because of a wrist injury, meet director Bill Walker said. The meet, which will be nationally televised by NBC in June, is Thursday and Friday at the Southwest Recreation Complex. Louganis, of Boca Raton, was committed to competing in the U.S.-China meet until the injury surfaced last week, Walker said. Louganis’ injury is common among divers, Walker said, and is best cured by fewer dives. Louganis is not competing in the 10-meter platform of the U.S.A. International meet, which concludes today in Boca Raton.

Arm, Wrist Injuries a Growing Concern

After the last surgery, the 64-yearold Mrs. [Katherine] Moore said, she told her supervisors at IBP’s Dakota City, Neb., plant, “”I don’t want no more knives.” She has been assigned another job the past three years. Mrs. Moore is one of thousands of American workers who suffer hand, wrist and arm injuries every year because they perform the same task hundreds of times a day, federal officials and safety experts said. Repetitive motion injuries drew national attention last week when the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, proposed a $3.1 million fine against IBP for allegedly failing to do enough to prevent such injuries at the Dakota City plant.

Rookie’s dream Jay nightmare White Sox slugger swats winning homer in 11th

Jays were buried 3-1 entering the ninth inning. They had only three hits to that point, but they scratched out a tie on Kelly Gruber’s two-run single. In the 10th, Lloyd Moseby’s two-run double put them ahead 5-3. With Rick Leach, subbing for the injured Jesse Barfield (wrist injury), set to bat to lead off the eighth, the game went into a rain delay. Lightning crackled all around Comiskey Park, and for 12 minutes it rained fiercely. But it cleared quickly, and the delay was only a half-hour long. Jays went out in their half of the eighth, then the rain hit again briefly, forcing another six-minute hiatus. “It didn’t work,” [Jimy Williams] said of his move. “[Dan Pasqua] can hit the ball out and he’s faced [Tom Henke] more than [Donnie Hill] has. I knew they’d use Hill and have to go with [Steve Lyons] at catcher, but I didn’t want to face Pasqua.”

Wrist injury puts Barfield on 15-day disabled list

TORONTO (CP) _ Right fielder Jesse Barfield, plagued by a nagging wrist injury, has been placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Toronto Blue Jays. To make room for Barfield on the 15-day list, the Jays moved left-handed pitcher Jimmy Key, recovering from elbow surgery May 4, to the 21-day disabled list.

Seoul ’88 / Randy Harvey USOC Gets 10% of Future TV Rights Fees Series: Seoul ’88

Steve McFarland, a former U.S. national diving coach who will comment on the competition in Seoul for NBC, said U.S. divers should not be concerned about their losses to the Chinese at meets in Florida the last two weeks. “China is using a series of competitions, including these, for its Olympic trails,” McFarland said. “The Chinese are peaking now. The U.S. divers won’t peak until their trials about a month before the Olympics.” . . . Greg Louganis missed the competition last Thursday and Friday in Largo, Fla., because of a wrist injury. . . . The U.S. soccer team meets El Salvador Wednesday night in Indianapolis, but the game no longer holds significance. Before El Salvador’s recent loss to Trinidad and Tobago, the United States needed a victory in this match to qualify for the 16-team Olympic field. Now the United States is assured of playing in the Olympics for only the second time since 1972. It received an automatic berth as the host country in 1984. Bislett Games track and field promoter Svein Arne Hansen reports he has Great Britain’s Steve Cram and Peter Elliott, Somalia’s Abdi Bile, the United States’ Jim Spivey and Steve Scott committed to the July 2 Dream Mile in Oslo, Norway. Hansen said he’s on his way to Morocco in an attempt to sign Said Aouita. He also said two of the world’s best quarter-milers, East Germany’s Thomas Schonlebe and the United States’ Harry Reynolds, have agreed to meet in Oslo. . . . The 400 field at the June 5 Pepsi Invitational at UCLA should be one of the best in the world this year. Signed are Reynolds, Roddie Haley and Antonio McKay from the United States, Nigeria’s Innocent Egbunike and the Ivory Coast’s Gabriel Tiacoh. That’s four of the top 10-ranked quarter-milers in the world last year. It’s too bad No. 4 Danny Everett of UCLA can’t be there to run on his home track, but he will be competing the day before in the NCAA championships in Eugene, Ore. France has been added to the field for the June 22-26 World Cup of men’s volleyball at the Forum. Others competing are the United States, the Soviet Union and Japan. The defending Olympic champion United States won the previous four tournaments, but it lost twice to the Soviet Union in the International FIVB Cup last November in Seoul. . . . John Black of the Forum said tickets for the exhibition of Olympic figure skaters held Sunday was sold out months in advance. “It was like trying to get a Lakers-Celtics ticket,” he said. . . . [Debi Thomas] has retired from competitive skating, but Jill Trenary, the 1986 national champion and fourth-place finisher in the Olympics, probably will remain an amateur for four more years. Caryn Kadavy, the third U.S. woman on the Olympic team, might remain an amateur for at least one more year. Kadavy might be a better ice show performer than any of her contemporaries, including two-time Olympic champion [Katarina Witt]. But Kadavy’s market value isn’t high because she hasn’t won a major national or international championship.

Morrell plant is subject of unusual safety probe

The inspection is unusual because the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) called seven anatomy experts from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to the plant to study “repetitive-motion trauma” such as back strains and wrist injuries. The inspection follows closely an investigation at an IBP Inc. packinghouse in Dakota City, Neb., where OSHA said workers were exposed to repetitive-motion injuries. OSHA fined IBP $3.1 million, the second-largest OSHA fine against an individual company, and said it wants the entire meatpacking industry to address the problem of repetitive-motion injuries. An OSHA spokesman said the Sioux Falls inspection was prompted by two complaints, one by a Morrell worker, one by an officer of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), which represents the meatpackers.

UPDATE

- FEW ASSISTS: Toronto Blue Jays outfielders have just three assists this season. A big factor is the play of Jesse Barfield (wrist injury), whose 17 assists led the majors in 1987. Barfield has one assist so far, as does George Bell, who chipped in 14 in 1987. Rookie Sil Campusnano has the other and Lloyd Moseby, with seven in 1987, has yet to throw out a runner.

Boxers at Home in Las Vegas as Athletes Arrive for Festival

Today, Michael Collins was sitting in the lobby at the Hilton, in sight of the casino, when Kelcie Banks came by. Collins is the United States’ best hope for Seoul in the 119-pound division, although one of his chief competitors is Jemal Hinton of New Carrolton, Md. Banks, the 1987 U.S. boxer of the year, is the nation’s best at 125 pounds, although there is some concern he has spent too much time the past year reading his press clippings. Olympic Notes: Just as the 12 U.S. boxers are not necessarily going to be at the Olympics, neither are the boxers who are here from Yugoslavia, Poland and Hungary. The most notable European boxer here is Olympic bronze medalist Azis Salihu of Yugoslavia, who lost on points to super-heavyweight gold medalist Tyrell Biggs in 1984. Salihu is fighting Tevin George of Marrero, La., who has had an undistinguished amateur career . . . In gymnastics, famed coach Bela Karolyi did not show up here, and neither did Kristie Phillips and Phoebe Mills, two of his top gymnasts. Phillips, who recently returned to Karolyi’s camp after leaving for a while to train with Don Peters, has back and wrist injuries and is expected to have a tough time making the U.S. team. Karolyi, the chief of the U.S. gymnastics delegation going to Seoul, is not particularly friendly with Peters, coach of the U.S. women’s Olympic team. The U.S. men’s and women’s gymnastics teams are not expected to win more than a bronze medal or two in Seoul.

Highland Park hungry

Highland Park (18-12), the Central Suburban North champion, recovered from a slow start to win nine of its last 10 games, including upset victories over top-seeded Stevenson and No. 2 seed Glenbrook North at the New Trier Regional. Things have worked out rather well indeed. Troy figured to have a strong contender in the league with outfielders [Brian Shevitz] and [Robert Miller], catcher Wes Robertson and a solid infield of shortstop Mike Troy, Jim’s nephew, and second baseman Greg Berliant. The big question mark was the pitching staff where [Kevin Leadingham] was the only solid returnee. Enter Mark Dahlem. A senior transfer whose father is in the military assigned to Fort Sheridan, Dahlem has produced an 8-3 record in his first high school season after a two-year layoff due to a wrist injury.

HIGH COURT BROADENS WORKERS COMP RIGHTS

When assembly-line worker Jonna Lingle filed a compensation claim under state law for a wrist injury she received while fashioning washing machine parts at a Downstate Illinois plant, her company fired her within a week, saying her claim was fraudulent. Lingle, a member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, then filed a grievance under terms of her union’s contract, alleging she was fired without “just cause,” as required in the union agreement. Lingle eventually won an arbitrator’s ruling giving her back pay and a job at the plant in Herrin, where she lives. But the case, which began several years ago, didn’t end there.

Norman withdraws with wrist injury

[Greg Norman], who has had tendinitis problems in the wrist previously, incurred the injury playing his fourth shot to the par-5 ninth hole. Norman’s second shot wound up in a water hazard, and after a one- stroke penalty, he took a drop in a hardscrabble area that served as a spectator path. Norman hit his tee shot on the 10th, but the pain became unbearable when he attempted to hit his second shot from the rough there. Norman withdrew, handing the second-round scorecard he had been keeping for [Larry Mize] over to Mize and taking his own scorecard back to the clubhouse. The Australian contacted his orthopedist, Dr. Norton Baker of Orlando, Fla. Baker, who has been treating Norman’s wrist for about a year, speculated that the chronic difficulty Norman has experienced in the joint stems from a childhood injury of unknown origin.

WRIST INJURY FORCES NORMAN TO WITHDRAW

BROOKLINE, Mass. – Greg Norman, haunted by bad luck in major American golf tournaments, was forced to withdraw during the second round of the U.S. Open yesterday because of a sprained left wrist. Norman, 33, among the top contenders for the 88th Open title, sustained what the U.S. Golf Association said was a sprained left wrist when his club struck a rock while he was making an approach shot to the ninth green. The rock was covered by tall grass. Norman, who had shot a 3-over-par 74 in the first round, was 1-over for the day when he left The Country Club course. He flew to Birmingham, Ala., to be examined by Dr. James Andrews at the Alabama Sports Medical & Orthopedic Center.

Wrist Injury Sidelines Norman; Watson Finds Trouble on 18th / U.S. OPEN NOTEBOOK

[Greg Norman], who must play a minumum of 15 events in the U.S. in order to retain his PGA tour card, was forced to withdraw yesterday after injuring his left wrist while playing the ninth hole. After taking a drop in the right rough, the powerfully-built Aussie swung with his 7-iron and slammed into solid rock just below the surface. Norman, who had a 74 in the first round and was 1-over par yesterday, received on-course first-aid treatment and then phoned his Orlando, Fla., physician, Dr. Norton Baker – who had to be beeped off a golf course to take the call. Baker told reporters by telephone that the preliminary diagnosis was a “torn ulna collateral ligament or cartilage damage.” Norman eventually decided to fly to Birmingham, Ala., to see Dr. James Andrews, who has treated Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens, Jack Nicklaus and other professional athletes.

GREG NORMAN’S QUEST BY WRIST INJURY

[Greg Norman]‘s tee shot had gone in a hazard on No. 9, a par 5. He took a drop and the ball landed on a subsurface rock. When he hit the ball, Norman’s club caught on the rock and wrenched his wrist. Norman had the wrist wrapped in ice with an Ace bandage and had his arm in a sling. The spokesman said Norman was delighted with the news that he might be playing again in two weeks. Earlier Friday, Norman feared the worst.

NORMAN WITHDRAWS WITH WRIST INJURY

After examining [Greg Norman] last night at the Alabama Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Center in Birmingham, [James Andrews] determined that there was no significant damage and that Norman would need 10 days to two weeks to recover. In layman’s terms, according to Andrews, Norman’s wrist is sprained. After hitting the second shot, Norman felt too much pain to continue, according to John Morris, USGA director of communications. Morris said Norman wrapped his wrist in a towel, and walked over to [Larry Mize], who had been keeping Norman’s score. They exchanged scorecards and Norman walked to the medical tent. Norman then telephoned his orthopedic specialist in Orlando, where Norman lives part of the year. When the physician, Norton M. Baker, called Norman back, he advised the Australian to fly to Florida immediately for an examination. Norman left Boston on a 4 p.m. flight.

The severity of [Greg Norman]‘s wrist injury, originally thought to be a ligament tear, was downgraded to a sprain. [James Andrews] said Norman should take 10 days to 2 weeks off. Arnold Palmer, [Jack Nicklaus], Nancy Lopez and Greg Norman are scheduled to play in the Hero-Am tournament at St. Andrew’s Golf Club in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., Monday as part of the centennial. Watson has won eight major titles: the Masters in 1977 and ’81, the U.S. Open in ’82, and the British Open in ’75, ’77, ’80, ’82 and ’83. Watson graduated from Stanford and turned pro in 1971. He has won 32 PGA events and $4.7 million, more than anyone but Jack Nicklaus.

Wrist injury may be costly to Norman PGA Tour exempt status in doubt

Jack Nicklaus already has been granted earlier dates for his Memorial tournament in Dublin, Ohio. He wanted it moved because TV coverage suffered opposite the NBA playoffs and Indianapolis 500. Nicklaus also works for ABC, and CBS has the rights to the Memorial weekend PGA offering. The Western is a CBS tournament. BURNOUT: Bob Gilder was the PGA Tour’s No. 6 money-winner in 1982, but he hasn’t topped $100,000 the last four years. The main reason, he said, was that “I got burned out.” In 1983 he earned $70,000 on Florida’s Spacecoast circuit. Then, with three sons and the satellite circuits taking a financial dive, he reassessed his position. He went through a PGA regional qualifying tournament at Florida’s Bay Hill in 66-65-65-60 in 1985, regained his Tour privileges and had top 10 finishes in the two PGA stops preceding this year’s Open.
