Hi Katherine, Hi Jill I'm not sure if the Romanian women were sent back with the Romanian men. I hope not. I've not seen much women's weightlifting, but I went to school at Taylor's College with a Greek gent whose name escapes me who was a rival to Dean Lucan in the Men's clean & jerk back in the late 80s. As for Jill, maybe you could work something up on the Women's handball? best Hugh ----- Original Message ----- From: Gallagher, Katherine <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, September 18, 2000 10:28 AM Subject: OLYMPIC POEMS - poet's duties as revised > Hugh, Hi, > I note women's weightlifting has been included in the Sydney Games for the > first time.
