To the Sports Editor: Re ''A Transcendent Thud,'' June 23: I was part of an elite hammer throwing group, and we frequently discussed the split between techniques: Americans are more about strength and big, bulky muscles, and Eastern Europeans are more about perfecting their finesse.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Lance Deal, the last American to win an Olympic medal in the hammer throw, swept the hammer cage he built free of rain the other day at Hayward Field. Deal, who won silver in the 1996 Atlanta Games, had designed and welded the cage for symmetry and easy viewing. He bought the protective black nylon netting from a business in Bellingham, Wash. The smallest gauge net the company had made was for a Playboy centerfold, and the largest was for a fishing boat that could swallow two football fields of fish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

But the surprise was that it came in the women's hammer throw, not because of Bolt's and Jamaica's latest dash to a gold medal in the men's 4x100-meter relay. ''I didn't run the best third leg I wanted to,'' Bolt said after his team crossed the line in 37.31 seconds. ''I'm just tired. I was happy to get around the track and give Asafa the baton.''

The International Olympic Committee on Thursday stripped two Belarussian hammer throwers of their Olympic medals and disqualified a Polish kayaker from the Beijing Games because of doping violations. Vadim Devyatovskiy of Belarus lost his silver medal in the hammer throw, and his teammate Ivan Tsikhan lost the bronze. Both had failed tests for testosterone not produced by their own bodies. Devyatovskiy is also permanently barred from Olympic competition because it was his second doping offense. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
