5. Olympic Anecdote: 
   Gymnastics Dress-code Penalties Levied on China and Czechoslovakia...20

BARCELONA, Spain (UPI) -- Showing a little too much buttock will cost you 
in women's gymnastics.

Two gymnasts from China and one from Czechoslovakia were penalized Monday 
for dress-code violations during their compulsories.

Zhang Xia and Lu Li were docked one-tenth of a point in China's team score.
Daniela Bartova of Czechoslovakia also was penalized a one-tenth, but that 
penalty will be taken from her individual score because Czechoslovakia is 
not entered in the team event.

Dress-code penalties are levied for only two reasons -- immodesty or wearing
a uniform different in style or color from those of teammates.

The penalties were levied by the International Gymnastics Federation's Jury 
of Appeals, one day after the women's compulsories.  Officials did not 
specify the nature of the violation, but the gymnasts' leotards apparently 
showed more leg than allowed.
