Oregonian Injured in Pole Vault
(AP) - What had already been a
bad Olympics for decathlon world
champion and Oregon native Tom
Pappas got worse Tuesday when
he injured his left foot in the pole
vault and withdrew from the com ­
petition.
The injury occurred as the Ameri­
can ran down the runway in his first
vault attempt — at 15 feet, I inch.
Pappas ran through to the pit, then
walked to a nearby grassy area and
sat down.
He pulled o ff his left shoe and
sock, then ripped through tape and
began rubbing the bottom o f his
foot.
Pappas left the infield to have
the foot rewrapped, then returned
and began testing the fix«, first in
running shoes, then in spikes. He
passed on the next height but de­
cided not to continue after talking
to coaches.
Pappas, in fifth place through
seven events, put his poles away,
grabbed his gear bag and I i mped off
the field. After about an hour in the
medical treatment room beneath the
stadium, he left.
