Olympic bungle has tennis queen Coco in tears
-
TENNIS sensation Coco Gauff's tear-stained exit from the Paris Olympics is yet another shocking example of international bias against American athletes, athletes, sports experts-charge "She was an American darling destined for the medal stand and she got robbed," blasts a seasoned sports insider.
The 20-year-old Team USA flag bearer was reduced to tears after being cheated out of a crucial point in her match against Croatian Donna Vekic. A line judge called a shot by Vekic out, prompting Coco to net a half-hearted return. But then umpire Jaume Campistol overruled the line judge and awarded the point to Vekic rather than having it replayed!
"I never argue these calls, but [the line judge] called it out before I hit the ball," says Gauff.

ROCK ON!
PHIL DANIELS plays a restless London youth in the 1979 British movie Quadrophenia, based on the Who's rock opera - but oddly, the chaotic production was not a musical, and the Who does not even appear in it! The lead was supposed to go to JOHN LYDON - better known as Johnny Rotten of notorious punk band the Sex Pistols - but the film's distributors thought he was too dicey a personality to insure. Nevertheless, production did not go smoothly. The Who's legendary drummer, KEITH MOON, died during filming, and a brawl scene in the seaside city of Brighton used two real- life rival gangs, resulting in a \"real riot - health and safety didn't come into it,\" according to Daniels.
