SWIMMERS RACK UP MEDALS:
   U.S. swimmers grabbed eight medals Thursday, in what was the 
USA's best day at the Summer Games. In all, the USA won 11 medals, 
closing within four of the Unified Team in the standings. Swimmers 
took three golds, three silvers and two bronze. Melvin Stewart won 
the 200-meter butterfly; Janet Evans won the 800 freestyle; and 
the women's 4x100 medley relay set a world record of 4:02.54.
    
SHOOTING MEDAL A SURPRISE:
   Thursday's top surprise for the U.S. Olympic team was shooter 
Launi Meili's gold in three-position rifle. She posted an Olympic 
record. Also Thursday: Shannon Miller took silver in women's 
all-around gymnastics, while Kim Zmeskal placed 10th; Jason Morris 
won a silver in judo at 178 pounds. The women's basketball team 
crushed Czechoslovakia 111-55. The men's volleyball squad defeated 
Spain.
    
TRACK AND FIELD BEGINS:
   Track and field takes the Olympics spotlight this weekend, but 
not before one last lap in the pools. U.S. swimmers seek to add to 
the 23 medals they've won so far. Events on tap: The women's 200 
butterfly and 50 freestyle, and the men's 200 individual medley. 
Track opens Friday, with qualifying in several events. Saturday, 
the men's and women's 100 meters are run.
    
TRADES TO GET TOUGHER:
   General managers will find it more difficult to trade players 
Friday at 5 p.m. ET. Baseball imposes a deadline July 31, after 
which a player must pass through waivers - go unclaimed by all 
other teams - before he can be traded. This is an added hurdle in 
an era of no-trade and guaranteed contracts, complicated contracts 
and inflated contracts. This season, pitching is wanted most.
