But Darren Clark doesn't need Scolding. He'll be ticking himself off for long enough. Two years ago, at the Los Angeles Olympics, Clark went off he blocks in the 400m with rocket fuel in his system but petered out to finish fourth. I Ever since then he has been subconsciously telling himself to cut back on the booster charge early on.

When the gun went in the Commonwealth Games final that's what he did But Clark was so engrossed that he didn't seem to notice. He was doubtless thinking that life offers few great chances, and he'd just blown the second of his. When the questions came to him he did the correct thing and said that Black, who has won only two of his other six races this year, had run "a fantastic Yet deep down Clark knows there's nothing fantastic about 45.57s in good conditions, even -less so his time of 45.98 when he can go around 45s back at the empty, uninspiring Sydney Athletic Held whenever he chooses. Later he kicked himself for his Games performance. He took the start too slowly, I suggested.

MI must have. I had too much left," he said. I wasn't even tired. That's why I'm so disappointed. "If I'd finished the race and been run out and tired I'd have said 'fair enough'.

"The disappointing thing is not being beaten but getting beaten and feeling as though I'd just run a had mixed fortunes in successive races. In the 400m final before Clark's race Debbie Flintoff won a gold she hadn't really planned on, and then had the Queen to present it. Then, when he began to come out of the curve, he suddenly realised that England's European junior champion, Roger Black, was an unattainable 12m ahead. Hell, no there goes another Australian gold medal. Panic On with the rocket fuel.

But Black was well away, and there was no way Clark could catch The Putney runner had reversed his mistake in Los Angeles and still got it wrong. During the press interview he sat and stared into space. Two microphones were pushed rudely under his nose. Picture by RICK STEVENS Laurie Lawrence talks to the final of the 400m individual medley. Madrid's out but Jodie wears it 4 jFasala turns on i breathless sprint I to win his first I individual gold Flintoff won after overtaking the tiring English runner Kathryn Cook," who was then passed by Canada's Jill Richardson.

Flintoff time of 5 1 was not all that fast, but winning is the aim here. Her main event, the 400m hurdles final, is being staged tonight. "Now I've got to concentrate on that," she said. The other Australian gold medal went to Gael Martin in the discus, giving her the first leg of a possible double. The shot putt is still to come.

"One down, one to go," she said. Memming misses by centimetre By MICHAEL VISONTAY EDINBURGH, Monday: Canberra student Jane Flemming won a silver medal in the heptathlon yesterday then contemplated how close she came to winning the gold. "Missed it by that much," she said, to quote Maxwell Smart. In her first major international competition, Flemming, 21, finished just four points behind England's Judy Simpson, who won the gold after careering away with the final event, the 800m. Simpson ran so strongly that Flemming, who broke her personal best by Ss in finishing third, missed the gold medal by the smallest of margins.

Simpson's final total was 6,282 points, Flemming's was 6,278 and third-placed Kim Hagger, of England, earned 5,823. Flemming bears a striking resemblance to her better known predecessor, Glynis Nunn, the 1984 Olympic gold medallist. They are both blonde, slim and the same height, 1.68m. She also showed the same ability to rise to the occasion. Only her luck was different While Nunn's run in the Olympic 800m was just fast enough to win the gold medal Flemming's was not "Four points is about 0.2s in the 800m, or I cm in the high jump, 20cm in the javelin, or 4-5cm in the long jump," Flemming said.

Flemming led Simpson by 23 points going into the 800m and admitted that she was fairly confident of winning the gold medal. During the race she thought only about staying with Simpson, who. pulled away from the second-placed New Zealand runner, Terry Genge, and Flemming with about 300m to go. "All I knew was that I had to get to Judy," Flemming said. Having failed to do that Simpson finished nearly 2s ahead of her Flemming then heard the off" eial result only on TV about 1 5 minutes later.

Despite coming so close she had no regrets. "Looking back on it you could say I did all these things wrong," she said. She was disappointed with her high jump and thought that her shot putt was Flemming set personal bests in three of the seven events the 1 00m hurdles, the long jump and the 800m. Her total also eclipsed her previous best by 310 points. llf it: By PETER BOWERS EDINBURGH, Monday: Jodie Clatworthy, the 14-year-old Brisbane nymph who blazed into international swimming at the Edinburgh Games collected her team T-shirt yesterday for the world swimming championships in Madrid next month But she will not be going to Madrid.

The silver medallist is going home to her family in Coorparoo, Queensland. Jodie qualified for the world championships with a 4min 49.67s swim for silver behind team-mate Suzanne Landells in the 400m individual medley at Edinburgh. Although she did not intend going to Madrid she wanted the team T-shirt so badly that she asked her coach, Laurie Lawrence, to delay an announcement until she had collected it. "The T-shirt," said Jodie, "means recognition. I'm not going, but I qualified.

That's what's important." Lawrence said the 14-year-old had been away from her family for six weeks and it was time for her to go home. "We talked it over and she agreed," he said. "Jodie has done what she came here to do. She won't swim a faster time in Madrid so, all things considered, it is in her best interest to go home. "She's a great swimmer with a great future but we must not forget the kid's only 14.

"Another three weeks is too long for her to be away from her four brothers and sisters and mom and dad. TUESDAYS SYDNEY TIMES BADMINTON 730pm: Women's singles, rds 1 and 2. 1 1 pm: Men's smsles rds 1 and 2. 3am (Wed): Women's doubles, rds 1 and 2. 4.30am: Men's doubles, rd 1.

Johnson happy with his time Jodie Clatworthy before "It's time for her to get back to school, relax, have a little break from swimming, bake a batch of passionfruit cookies (her favourite biscuit recipej, go and see her friends and start her world up again." Lawrence said Jodie's next big swimming mission would be the Seoul Olympics in 1988. "She'll be 16," he said, "just the right age for gold." The Australian team to go to Madrid has yet to be announced by Terry Buck, the head coach. Lawrence has at last received the recognition he deserves as the Brisbane swimming coach who turns youngsters into champions.

The Minister for Sport, Mr John Brown, in Edinburgh at the weekend for the Games, told the Herald he was about to announce that a Brisbane satellite of the Australian Institute of Sport would be set up under Lawrence in Brisbane. "Laurie Lawrence," Mr Brown said, "had a remarkable record for discovering and turning out champions Stephen Holland, Tracey Wickham, Jon Sieben and now Jodie Clatworthy and Duncan Armstrong, to name five." The even more remarkable thing about Lawrence is that he has found all his youngsters within walking distance of Brisbane's Chandler Pool. Mr Brown said Lawrence would be appointed an advisory coach to the AIS on a salary. The Brisbane swimming "club" would be set up under AIS policy to establish training facilities outside Canberra.

WVV AT EDINBURGH Easy does it, the Sydney boy was saying. Except that he kept coasting along down the back straight and into the last bend well after he should have begun turning on the heat.

AT EDINBURGH freaked me out," Fasala said after collecting his medal. I thought, 'what can I do What Fasala did was a great turn and he, Andrews and Brooks were going stroke for stroke at 25m. "It was hurting like a bitch with 25 to go but I just kept going," Fasala said. Brooks, who was in front 15m out, said that if he had to lose he was pleased that he lost to Fasala. They had raced each other half a dozen times in international events but he did not know the score.

"Greg won the last one so that makes him champion," he said. Fasala's gold and Brooks' silver notwithstanding, it proved a day largely of unfulfilled promise for Australia's swimmers yesterday. The women's 400m freestyle belonged exclusively to England's Sarah Hard castle so Susie Baumer and Jenni Burke had to be content with silver and bronze. It was the same story in the women's 100m backstroke with silver, to Georgina Parkes an bronze Livingstone. Australia won bronze in the women's 4 100m freestyle.

At the end of the night Canada and Australia, whose rivalry is beginning to take on a nasty, cutting edge, each had six gold. With six silver and five bronze Australia was leading in the total medal count Canada had two silver and three bronze. pursuit record lopping almost six seconds off the Games record for the individual pursuit in his first qualifying ride. And his time of 4m 43.92s was just three seconds outside the world outdoor mark set at high altitude in Mexico City. Roland Lee (ENG) SI.
