Spitz left at the blocks
MISSION VIEJO, California, Apr 14: Olympic swimming legend Mark Spitz's attempt to regain
his old gold medal form got off to a losing start on Saturday when he was beaten soundly in the 50-metre butterfly by fellow-American Tom Jager, reports Reuter.
Jager, 26. the world record holder in the 50 metres freestyle, came in nearly two seconds and two body lengths ahead of the 41 -year-old Spitz.
Spitz's time of 26.70 seconds was well behind Jager's 24.92 seconds.
Jager led from the start and kept increasing his lead until the end of the race in an outdoor pool on a warm, sunny d^
*1 just totally got left at the blocks. In the first two strokes I was at least a second behind," Spitz said.
"My race was all in the start," Jager said.
"Not only has time passed, but techniques have changed since Spitz swam at the Munich Olympic In 1972,* Jager said swimmers now focus more on their starts.
"We take the start more seriously today than when Mark was swimming," Jager said.
Spitz, who won seven gold medals at Munich and is trying to gain a spot in the lOO me trc butterfly on the 1992 US team, blamed a bad case of nerves for the slow race.
"I was very nervous," said Spitz. That's the first time I've started in 18-1/2 years. I might have been able to run across the poll faster."
To qualify for the Olympic trials next year, Spitz will- have to clock a time of 55.59 seconds in the 100-metre butterfly and will have to swim faster that 54 seconds to win an Olympic berth.
Spitz said he wasn't disappointed by the loss but had hoped to swim about a second faster.
"I don't think the loss is disappointing," Spitz said. "I thought I was going to be able to go in the low 25s."
Spitz safd in training in the last week he had clocked times a second faster than Saturday's.
Spitz said he plans no major changes in his training after Saturday's loss, but hopes to recapture his old racing skills.
"I have to get race smart." Spitz said.
Jager won 20,000 dollars for Saturday's race, while Spitz took 10,000 dollars.
Saturday's loss will help him prepare for another 50-metre butterfly race later this month against American Matt Biondi who won seven medals — five gold, one silver and one bronze — at the 1988 Olympics. The race with Biondi carries a 50,000-dollar purse with the winner taking 35,000 dollars.
