When Super Heavyweight Tyrell Biggs won the gold medal with a 4-1 decision, his opponent, Italy's Francesco Damiani, gestured angrily in disgust. After South Korean Light Welterweight Dong-Kil Kim lost a 4-1 decision to Jerry Page, 23, in the quarterfinals, the South Koreans briefly threatened to pull out of the tournament.

After the race, Phillips chucked his shoes into the infield in disgust. He had been doing well. "He's running 48 seconds," Moses said. "It's tough."
