They have already qualifed for the 1984 Canadian team based on their performances in Etobicoke the past few days. - - _ _ _ The two Region of Waterloo Swim Club members only expect to be in the Olympics once and would prefer to he up against represents tives from all nations. And both swimmers disagree with the opinion expressed recently in a Toronto daily newspaper that the Soviets initiated the boycott because they weren't good enough and didn't want to be embarrassed. "I'd rather have them all here," said West, who feels sure the top three countries would have been East Germany. the Soviet Union and the United States, in that order. "I think it started in 1980 when the Americans boycotted." said West. "I have a sneaking feeling they knew a long time ago they weren’t coming." West would have competed with Soviets that he has previously beaten in both his events - the 100 and 200 metre backstroke. However, he's never beaten East German Dirk Richter and now he won't get the chance to compete against him in Los Angeles. “I don't think the Soviets are scared to compete against anyone," said Davis. "They're a strong sporting nation. I think they're confident of themselves." Davis. who also looks forward to the chance to compete against everyone at the less political I986 world championships in Madrid, explains that he is not favored to win one of his two events, the loo breaststroke. "All ' the papers say the Americans will be one-two in the 100, but I have plans for them." he said with a smile. Davis added he'd "feel less fulfilled" winning a medal without competing against everyone, Fly a flag for Canada Day Canadian Ontario Bicentennial _ - Provincial - Foreign - Assorted sizes A great gift for home or cottage s, Weber Bt.

Davis swam the loo breast in 1:02.82. about shetenths of a second off the world record. He was to swim the :00 breast on Tuesday and was expected to threaten his own world record in that event. And no person or boycott is going to rob a record-setter of his moment. One of the swimmers Davis will not compete against is Robertas Shulpa of the Soviet Union, but he has been diminishing as a threat over the past couple years. West swam the 200 back on Monday in 2: 01.20. breaking his own Canadian and Commonwealth record of 2:01.85. He will swim the 100 back on Wednesday.
