'illiiiit; 7: Pllilllllilllllll! llllllMiMWIIiliMliH EDINBURGH, Friday: Gary Honey talked about dying when he- was still living one- of the proudest moments of his 27 years. It hardly seemed appropriate. But after his victory, in. the Commonwealth Games long jump, final yesterday he got on to the i subject of winning medals as against record distances.

if ve got the he said, stating the obvious. There is the silver he won behind super-being Carl Lewis at 1 the Lbs Angeles Olympics and the golds in Brisbane and again here yesterday. So when they put me in the grave I'll be happy that I've got the medals, even if they (meaning anyone else have got the big jumps, he said. He cleared 8.08m yesterday, which isn't far in international competition these days, but then conditions weren't all that favour- able. The competitors had to warm up in a corridor, according', to Honey, and during the- competition the wind was gustirig across the pit and rendering no tangible -assistance.

Rather, it was hinder- ing. Nor; did he jump as technically, as he ought to have. His winning leap was the only one in his sequence over 8m and the ill? mm Xv-ivox'rXvSK' Jkt. llWIiiiiiiyilii last day Niewand, 19, beat Canadian Alex Ongaro 2-1 in the final. This gave Australia its ninth Commonwealth Games win out of 12 in the sprint going back to 1930, but not before he overcame a few hiccups.

Niewand easily won the first match in the best-of-three final but inexplicably faltered while in cqntrol in the second match, allowing his 22-year-old opponent from Edmonton to sneak past him and force the final into a third match. "I was there, but my mind wasn't," was Niewand's explanation about the second match. As he lined up for the decider nearly two days after it was originally scheduled, his confidence was shaken and the clouds looked threatening. The clouds won. The match was run five hours later and Niewand, who had been predictably nervous and hyperactive in the break, came back, stayed awake throughout the race and won by about two lengths, much to every Australian's relief.

"The second race shook me up a bit," he said. "I was sharper in the third as a result. If I'd got second I don't know what I would have done." Niewand aims to finish in the top four at the world champion- ships at Colorado- later month, which would consolidate. -his performance. at the Goodwill-Games in Moscow, when he finished third behind two East German riders.

He did not plan to run the race a certain way but it had turned out very much as he expected. He had hoped that John Graham would pull away with him so that they could share the work and if John had been strong enough to hold second he could concentrate on silver while Deek concentrated on gold. But Graham had dropped off.

"The last few miles were pretty tough," he said. De Castella has set a gruelling marathon program for 1986. With two big wins, he is now setting himself for the New York marathon in November. After that it's more marthons next year and beyond to the Seoul Otypmics in 1988. "It's just one never-ending circle," -he said.

He plans to be back in Australia for Christmas. The two Australian marathon gold medallists came together for a television interview. What happened as they passed each other, De Castella on the way back and Lisa on the way out? Lisa had saluted Rob by raising a gold and yellow drink bottle she had just grabbed and Deek had urged her on with a wave. "I knew Rob had it won but I was still a long way from home," Martin said. "He gave me a lot of confidence." After a victory lap wearing a laurel wreath around his neck, during which he was cheered wildly by the Meadow-bank Stadium crowd, de Castella had embraced his coach, Pat Clohessy.

"I'm glad it's finished," he said. "I felt fairly strong throughout but I got a little bit tired towards the end." Clohessy said later: "He's tremendous. Rob has stamped himself one of the truly great marthoners of all time." From the gun, de Castella demonstrated he was not mucking about He went straight into the lead and fellow Australian Grenville Wood was right behind him. After VA laps the two Australians left the stadium sharing the lead. At the 10-mile mark de Castella, who had led throughout, put down the foot and was carting the front runners along at a near 4min 50s mile rate.

De Castella had set such a cracking pace that all but eight other runners had dropped off. He took control with a daring charge before the halfway mark, throwing down the challenge to the man he had regarded as his main threat, England's Charlie Spedding, the bronze medal at the LA Olympics. But Spedding failed to finish today. At the 12-mile mark de Castella, with Graham at his heels, had broken away from the pack, including Spedding. "He's looking really good at this point," said Clohessy.

"He's moving relaxed and strong. "He obviously decided to put the pressure on Spedding and I would not be surprised if he-goes for it from this point I think Boston has done wonders for his confidence and no harm physically." Doing a warm-up lap in his green and gold tracksuit, de Castella had received a tremendous wave of applause that followed him around the track at Meadowbank Stadium. He lined up on the outside of the field of 21, Scotland's Lindsay Robertson having withdrawn this morning on medical advice. Spedding had saved himself for Edinburgh, having rv -oed for 14 months since his impr (2hr 8min 33s) in the Lc on in 1985. De Castella burst bacx his 2hr 7nrin 51s-win in the Boston marathon.

Sfjedding, who at their only dash, in the 1984 Olympic marathon, had finished third to de Castella's fifth, said "before today's race he-believed a marathoner was capable of running only one fast marathon a year. 62 kgs Steohen Bell (NZL) Mark Group Bowman (NIR).

4 I i it fv I YTr J' EDINBURGH, Friday: The nice thing about Steve Cram is that he leaves ail that immense arrogance on the track. Off the track he is relaxed and ordinary, if that description can usefully be applied to an athlete who could have posed for a Greek statue of an original Olympian. Cram seems to function like an expensive car with two sets of gears overdrive and rapid change for the track and smooth and easy for general living. When the race is over he changes down as effortlessly as when racing he changes into top gear when the accelerator inside his head says "go, Steve, Perhaps it's his disproportionately long legs that remind you of a racehorse when he takes off. He has the same capacity as a great horse to destroy a field vith a sustained burst of speed.

It is the lot of these luckless 13th Commonwealth Games never to achieve greatness. Sebastian Coe's withdrawal from the 800m yesterday and the tomorrow because; of a throat infection herieso run I'll trip him," said his doctor) robbed the Games of what should have been its great double bill, Cram and Coe in the 800 and 1,500. With Coe out, the remaining interest depended on the: Virtuosity of Cram's performance. Nothing much happened for 600m.

ilk- IT -fr pursuit victory, which he had elected not to ride in, having earlier played such an important role in the preliminary rounds. "I have had my rewards through the years," he said. "I knew they were going to award only four gold medals and I did not want any of them to miss out." Turtur was wrong. They five golds, observing a cycling regulation first exemplified in the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games. The second showed itself after the 10-mile event but before the judges announced their verdict-It was suggested that "about the only thing the officials got right during the cycling event was to award five gold medals in the pursuit" and he grunted his agreement.

Turtur was angry at the possibility that officials might disqualify McCarney after an appeal by the New Zealand cyclist who finished third. "Everyone else was organised. Their only problem was that we were better organised," he said. "The bloke in charge is an unprintable phrase Some of the decisions regarding the rescheduling because of the weather have been ridiculous. It's a miracle we.

got through the program." Earlier in the evening Niewand, considered by some to be the fastest cyclist in the Western world, won the sprint gold medal two days, five hours and one mental lapse later than scheduled.

Gary Honey, who wr, so humble as to remark "people now? say I'm a big-time after winning the long jump might also benefit by sitting in on a Cram interview. "It's always nice to be able run a fast pace in competition, honest race.

Of the absent Coe, Cram said: "I am pretty disappointed he was not there, but it would have been a hollow victory if I beat him when he wasn't 100 per cent." As for breaking Coe's world record: "I like to get myself fit and ready for championships and that's what counts. "I think it's a little bit out of my reach. I am running at the top of my form at the moment and I haver done lmin 43.22s. You are askingj me to knock another second and a half off that, which is a lot at thav pace." In another remarkable perfor- mance, Steve Ovett won the', with a flourish which bordered on arrogance. He loped to the front at the top of the straight and was waving to-the crowd with 80m to go.

It was only his third race over the distance. A former world record holder and 800m gold medallist in i Moscow six years ago, the balding Ovett made light work of the extra distance, unlike his old New Zealand rival John Walker, who -plodded into fifth place.

Yet it was enough to scatter the field behind him and so emulate Welshman Lynn Davies feat of successfully defending his Games long jump title. Honey, exceedingly chirpy and never, lacking for something to say, was nevertheless demure enough to offer a lot of credit to his coach. They're an odd couple, Honey and Dr John Boas, a bald, short-sighted and studious coach -of forward propulsion who spends his working days in much the same field nuclear physics.

By MICHAEL VI SO NT AY EDINBURGH, Friday: Cyclist Michael Turtur said it for the team after the 10-mile race. "You have got to ride as a team. Why else do you have four people from the same nation in the same race?" It also happened to be Turtur's swansong in amateur cycling and his team-mates wanted the gold medal to "be his.

Turtur, Australia's flag-bearer in Edinburgh and a gold medallist in Los Angeles, had just received his third Commonwealth Games gold medal as part of Australia's pursuit team, even though he did not ride in the final which preceded the 10-mile race. But when Turtur and his teammates realised he wasn't up to winning the 1 0-miler he played his role in a plan which saw Wayne McCarney cross the line first. The best part of an hour later McCarney was officially awarded the gold medal his second (he was also in the pursuit team) after the judges decided the Australian team tactics were fair. Australia had won its third gold' medal of the day. The first went to Gary Neiwand in the sprint final and the second was the team For good measure, Dean Woods picked up the silver in the 1 0-miler.

Turtur, 28, of Adelaide, showed two different faces in his parting night as one of Australia's great sporting ambassadors. The first was after the team.
