...self-proclaimed "greatest sporting goods store in the world" is back. Abercrombie & Fitch's classy clientele included heads of state from Theodore Roosevelt to King Hussein, and its bison suede coat, for example, was considered a steal at $2,000. A&F, however, slid into bankruptcy three years ago after a long battle with less prestigious, but more practical, retailers. Now Houston's Oshman's Sporting Goods has bought the firm's name and mystique, and this week it is opening in Dallas the first full-size new Abercrombie & Fitch store. Oshman's already...

When the huge, almost grotesquely muscular men file into the room behind the stage of Olympiisky Stadium, they cannot help but steal a glance at the closed curtains of cubicle No. 17. There, in the corner of the vast hall, Alexeyev rests, stretched out on a bed, all 6 ft. 3 in. and 328 Ibs. of him. Sultan Rakhmanov, 30, Alexeyev's former protege and now his chief Soviet rival, works the room, shaking hands and greeting competitors, flashing a smile of angelic sweetness incongruous on his large frame (6 ft. 1 in., 365 Ibs.). He is wearing...
