For the Record - Aug. 8, 2008

Olympic records: A chart of Olympic records in Thursday’s Sports section gave the names of the record-setting East German 4x100-meter relay team of 1980 as Ingrid Auerswald, Marlies Gohr, Tatyana Ledovskaya and Olga Nazarova. Ledovskaya and Nazarova were members of a Soviet relay team; the East German team’s other two members were Romy Muller and Barbel Wockel. Also, Moroccan runner Said Aouita’s last name was misspelled as Aquita, and an incorrect time of 3:32.07 was given for his record in the 5,000-meter run. Aouita’s record time is 13 minutes and 5.59 seconds.
