• New Zealand’s Barry Griffiths lost to Jan Ove Waldner (Sweden) 18-21, 12-21, 17-21 in a table tennis match yesterday. On Saturday the New Zealand table tennis team found itself embroiled in controversy during the opening session of Olympic competition. The doubles combination of Griffiths and Peter Jackson faced the world’s top pair, Waldner and Michel Appelgren, of Sweden, and only indifferent umpiring prevented a possible upset win. The New Zealanders lost 19-21, 20-22, but later fired in a protest which . was upheld but failed to overturn the result.
