Rumanian defects "for freedom' The Rumanian Olympic rower, who walked out of Montreal Games saying he did not want to return home, arrived at Niagara Falls last night to stay with relatives and declared: "I left for freedom.

Foster broke the Olympic record yesterday in qualifying for the 14-man final. Stewart, meanwhile, finished fourth in his heat but was prompted to second when the first and third runners were disqualified.

They were later reinstated by an Olympic Jury of Appeal, leaving Stewart back in his original place but still in the final. Foster named the contenders for the title after his race. 'This is not a rematch of the 10,000 metres final between Lasse Viren and me," he said, "there are a few others in there as well. There's Stewart and Quax and Dixon, for a start." Dick Quax and Rod Dixon, both of New Zealand, must be in with gold medal chances, but there could be an outsider or two in at the finish as well if they can hold the blistering pace this classic is bound to produce. LOW KEY Olympic match last week.

year which has remained an and Coates, in particular, Unstoppable ble Szewinska Foster, suffering stomach trouble days before the final 10,000 metres, has recovered. He looked better and he ran better as he headed Dixon in a heat in the Olympic record time of 13 min 20.34 sec but he played down his achievement. "The old record was not such a wonderful time," he emphasised. Foster is keeping it in low key but the difference between the man today and the man who walked grimly off the track after finishing third in the 10,000 metres, suggests that he is restored, both in body and mind, and ready to go. Of all the runners in the field, Dixon may be the main danger.

The New Zealander gave Foster a beating on his home track at Gateshead last sity, and she should be unstoppable in the women's 400 metres final. There was a brief glimpse of the 30-year-old economist's power when she set an Olympic record of 50.48 sec in the semi-finals. There is no shortage of talent in today's final but it is doubtful whether even runners of the calibre of East German's Christina Brehmer and Ellen.

There was nothing wrong with Stewart's confidence, either, after he qualified fourth in a slow and messy race in which no-one seemed prepared to share the pacemaking with him. The Olympic jury of Appeal late last night reversed a disqualification that had taken first and third placings in a heat away from Willy Polleunis (Belgium) and Klaus-Peter Hildenbrand (West Germany). The appeal jury reviewed a video tape of the race, and reversed the disqualification. Stewart kept clear of the trouble and only had sprint off the final bend to qualify, but Britain's third runner, David Black, finished a disappointing ninth. He said he intended to "go" four laps from the finish but when the time came there was nothing left.

TOUGHEST David Jenkins runs in the 400 metres final tonight, with only an outside chance of finishing in the first three. On current form no one is going to touch Cuban Olympic 800 metres champion Alberto Juantorena, and there is enough class in the rest of the field to make Jenkins' task desperately hard. Jenkins was physically sick after his race and unable to talk for five minutes. "This was the toughest day of my life and tomorrow will be the second toughest," he said. 'As I lined up I had bad memories of Munich four years ago when I went out at this stage.

That race really hurt." Britain's steeplechasers, promising so much, failed to deliver in the final. Neither Dennis Coates -nor Tony Staynings was completely, fit Salin of Finland can check her.

was a long way below the form he showed when he beat the 1972 Olympic record in winning his heat. He was ninth and Staynings 11th. Berwyn Price had a disastrous start in the semifinal of the 110 metres hurdies, clipping his first barrier, and was fifth, one place away from making the final. A rare success among the women went to Mary Stewart, sister of Ian, who made the 1,500 metres final with a carefully-judged tactical semi-finalist. Doug Parnham narrowly reached the semi-final of the 500 metres Kayak canoe event on Notre Dame Island, the scene of Britain's rowing triumphs, and has a chance of progressing further tomorrow.

And Pat Cowdell could convert bronze into silver or even gold when he boxes in the semi-final of the bantamweights today. Already sure of a bronze, Cowdell meets Gu Yong Jo, of North Korea, for a place in the final.
