In the name of the Venezuelan people I officially proclaim open the Pan American Games." To the accompanyment of music and dance, the highlight of the event, as usual, was the parade of athletes into and out of the stadium.

Decker, the gold medalist in Wednesday's 3,000 meters, led for most of the race but relinqusished the lead on the final lap to Zamira Zaitseva of the Soviet Union. The 25-year-old from Eugene, then rallied to pass the Soviet runner six strides from the finish line and won when Zaitseva stumbled and fell barely three feet from the tape. Decker was timed in 4 minutes 0.90 seconds and Zaitseva posted a 4:01.9, just ahead of compatriot Ekaterina Popdkopaeva. "Atl the way round the final bend, she (Zaitseva) started getting closer and closer to me and down the back straight (after Zaitseva passed) I worried because I couldn't get my momentum back," Decker said.

"But there was no contact at the finish. "I managed to recover the lost ground when I said to myself 'you won't have another chance like this for four years (until the next World's in llome)," I pgvpJt(all I was disap pointed, but managed to find some wry humor. "I ran my usual race except for the fall," she said. "Earlier Sunday morning, Smith gained his third medal of these championships by posting a time of 20.14 seconds to win the 200 meters.

Athletes from 34 countries, dressed in brightly colored outfits, marched around the jam-packed Olympic Stadium to the cheers of more than 14,000 people while hundreds of helmeted, machine gun-toting soldiers stood guard at the perimeter of the arena. Many, of the same soldiers toiled with construction workers throughout the night in an effort to prepare the stadium for the opening ceremonies. While the paint was barely dry in part of the stadium and some complained about poor working facilities, the ceremonies went off smoothly. Francisco Rodriguez, a two-time Olympic boxing champion from Venezuela, had the honor of lighting the Pan American flame i and Luis Herrera Campins, president of the country, proclaimed the Games open.

8- Diylay, RufN, Baker gets underway Sunday foursome could do no bet ter than a sixth-place finish in 3:05.29. The Russians won with a clocking of 3 minutes 0.79 seconds. West Germany (3:01.83) was second and Britain (3:03.53) third. Marita Koch of East Germany, the world record-holder in the women's 200 meters, won her specialty in 22.13 seconds. Koch, the silver medalist in the 100 meters, poor at the Pan American Village they moved to downtown hotels.

However, William Simon, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said Sunday those players left the village because their wives had rooms in the hotels. Competition is scheduled to begin Monday in basketball, baseball, fencing, soccer, hockey, judo, weightlifting, Softball, tennis and shooting. The United States, Cuba and Canada are favored to win most of the medals during the Games. The U.S.

team is followed in size by Cuba with 600 athletes and Canada with 535. The three traditionally dominate medal winning at these Games. Some 871 medals will be contested in the 26 events of competition, which includes 281 gold, 281 silver and 309 bronze. The Venezuelan National Sports Institute has predicted the United States could win about 173 gold medals, Cuba 59 and Canada 20. One of the U.S.

favorites for a gold medal is the men's basketball team and Coach Jack Hartman's squad begins play Monday night at 9 p.m. EDT against Mexico. Although the team lost guard Chris Mullin because of a broken foot last week when Finland's Martti Vianio dove across the finish line to take third. "I was expecting pressure on the last straight, but when I turned round there was nobody there so I could settle down to win in a relaxed fashion," Coghlansaid. Shildhauer was timed in 13:30.20 and Vianio's lunge gave him a 13:30.34.

Doug Padilla of San Leandro, was fifth in 13:32.08. in an exhibition game, there is still enough talent to make this squad, according to several college coaches, the best yet sent to the Pan Am Games. Leading the team are All-Americas Michael Jordan and Sam Perkins of North Carolina, Wayman Tlsdale of Oklahoma and Leon Wood of Fullerton State. The U.S. baseball team, led by pitcher Tim Belcher, a first-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in last June's draft, also opens Monday, against the Dominican Republic at noon EDT and the men's Softball team, a gold medal possibility, opens against Holland.
