Games heats hit
NZPA staff correspondent Edinburgh The Christchurch hurdler, Lynette Stock, might get only about 14s on the Meadowbank track in her speciality event because of the Commonwealth Games boycott. The New Zealand athletics manager, Steve Boilings, said yesterday that some early rounds would be ditched because of the dwindling numbers.
Stock, aged 24, is a 100 metres hurdles competitor and one Kiwi facing the prospect of not getting a second speciality race.' Another is her fellow Christchurch hurdler, Wayne Paul, who will contest the 400 metres. Both would have had a better chance of reaching a second round if the fields were bigger, but now face early elimination.
