## Background

The Gatorade Duels were a duo of stock car racing qualifiers held on February 23, 2012, in Daytona Beach, Florida, at Daytona International Speedway, a superspeedway that holds NASCAR races. Its standard track is a four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.0 km) superspeedway. Daytona's turns are banked at 31 degrees and the front stretch (the location of the finish line) is banked at 18 degrees. The defending winners of the races were Kurt Busch and Jeff Burton.

In the early years, qualifying for the Daytona 500 took various forms: one timed lap, an average of two laps, or the better of two laps. The concept of having two separate races to determine the starting lineup of the Daytona 500 dates back to the first event in 1959. The first of the two 100 mi (160 km) qualification races featured Convertible class cars, while the second featured Grand National cars. The races were 100 mi (160 km) from 1960 and 1967, and 125 mi (201 km) in 1969. Prior to 1971, the races yielded points to the Drivers' Championship. Large well-established teams regard the races as practice for the Daytona 500, although successfully qualifying for the event would allow smaller less-established teams to compete in future NASCAR events during the season. If the team did not qualify, it risked closing until sponsorship could be secured.

The top 35 drivers were assigned to Gatorade Duel races based on their Daytona 500 qualifying positions. The first Duel featured drivers who qualified in odd-numbered positions, as well as the 2012 Daytona 500 pole winner. The second Duel featured competitors who qualified in even-numbered positions. The results of both Duels determined the drivers' starting places in the Daytona 500. The fastest drivers who did not qualify in the top 35 filled positions 40 to 42. An eligible previous champion took the 43rd spot. In the absence of a former champion, the 43rd position would be filled by the next-fastest driver. Two eligible drivers outside the top 35 qualified for the Daytona 500 by winning two transfer slots in each Duel.

After some of the cars' engines overheated while traveling in packs during the 2012 Budweiser Shootout, NASCAR increased the engines' pressure release values from 25 psi (1.7 bar) to 28 psi (1.9 bar) to help reduce overheating and mitigate the consequences of high-temperature driving.

## Practice and qualification

Two 90-minute practice sessions were held on February 22. Matt Kenseth was fastest in the first practice session with a time of 44.809 seconds. Trevor Bayne was second-quickest with a lap-time 0.009 seconds slower. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was third-fastest, ahead of Marcos Ambrose, Mark Martin, Clint Bowyer, Michael McDowell and Kevin Harvick. Paul Menard and Kasey Kahne. During the session, Brad Keselowski slowed to avoid Ryan Newman, forcing Bowyer to turn into Keselowski, whose car spun into the grass on the backstretch. Keselowski's car sustained minor damage, which could be repaired and he did not need to use a backup car. Aric Almirola led the second practice, in which 25 drivers competed, with a lap of 45.065 seconds—nearly one-tenth of a second faster than David Stremme. David Ragan was third, ahead of Robert Richardson Jr. and Greg Biffle. Bobby Labonte, Joe Nemechek, Bill Elliott, Michael Waltrip and Kahne completed the top ten ahead of the races.

During the session, which saw drivers running in packs and drafted off each other, Juan Pablo Montoya collided with Kahne and sent his car spinning into the grass on the front stretch, tearing off some of its nose. Kahne was required to use a backup car for the rest of Speedweeks. Because the qualifying grids were determined by the order in which drivers qualified in Daytona 500 pole position qualifying, Carl Edwards started from pole in the first race and Biffle in the second. Edwards was joined on the grid's front row by Dale Earnhardt Jr., with Ambrose in third. Stenhouse and Bayne started in fourth and fifth positions respectively. Biffle was joined by Mears on the front row for the second race, with Jeff Gordon in third. Martin Truex Jr. started fourth, and Martin began from fifth. The thirteen drivers who were not guaranteed to qualify for the Daytona 500 and were required to get into the event on speed or being the highest-placed two drivers who were not guaranteed entry were Elliott, Bayne, Robby Gordon, Kenny Wallace, Richardson, Tony Raines, Stremme, Dave Blaney, Mike Wallace, Waltrip, J. J. Yeley, Nemechek, and McDowell.

## Races

The qualifying races for the 2012 Daytona 500 began at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and was broadcast live on television in the United States by Speed, and by TSN2 in Canada. Commentary was provided by Mike Joy, with analysis given by former driver Darrell Waltrip and former crew chief Larry McReynolds.

Both races lasted for 60 laps over a distance of 150 mi (240 km), and attended by 80,000 spectators. The weather on the grid before start of the first race were hot and humid, with the air temperature was 82 °F (28 °C); a ten percent chance of rain was forecast. Dr. L. Ronald Durham of Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Daytona Beach, Florida began the pre-race ceremonies with an invocation. Vocalist Catrina Mack from Orlando, Florida performed the national anthem.

The majority of the two-vehicle draft tandems observed at the 2011 Daytona races and greatly disliked by fans appeared to be absent; vehicles could not stay connected together for long periods of time until the engine in the following car overheated.

### Race 1

Following the invocation and performance of the National Anthem, three-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Ryan Lochte commanded the drivers to begin their engines. Edwards maintained the lead into turn one with Earnhardt in second. Tony Stewart took the lead on lap two by passing Edwards on the outside. Edwards, with help from Bayne, passed Stewart into turn three to recover first place two laps later. Earnhardt took the lead on the fifth lap, while Ambrose took second. Earnhardt retook the lead after Edwards briefly had it back. Bayne, who was also battling for the lead, had fallen back by lap seven. McDowell collided with David Gilliland's left-rear quarter panel between turns one and two on lap nine; Gilliland went up the track towards the outside wall and collected Menard and Montoya, triggering the race's first caution and bringing out the pace car. Keselowski's car was also entangled in the wreckage and incurred minor damage. Gilliand, Menard, and Montoya retired their cars in the garage with substantial damage. Most of the drivers, including Earnhardt, made pit stops for fuel. Earnhardt had to make another pit stop after a pit crew member went over the wall too soon, sending him down the race order.

Ambrose led Denny Hamlin (both of whom chose not to pit), Almirola, Stewart, and Jamie McMurray when the race resumed on lap 14. One lap later, Hamlin passed Ambrose for the lead. Burton helped Stewart take the lead from Hamlin one lap later. Hamlin retook the lead on lap 17, while McDowell moved into second. Hamlin maintained his advantage for the next four laps while McMurray battled Stewart for second. McDowell had dropped to eighth place by lap 21, while Stewart continued in second by lap 25. McMurray was unable to complete a pass on the outside of Hamlin for the lead at turn three on the 28th lap, dropping him to eighth two laps later. Crew chiefs asked their drivers to conserve fuel as early as halfway through the race. On lap 32, the top five were Hamlin, Stewart, Harvick, Stenhouse and Ambrose. As the cars ran in single file, Edwards had dropped to 15th place one lap later. McDowell was told by his team to save fuel on lap 43.

Green flag pit stops began on lap 44 when Hamlin and Ambrose stopped for tyres and fuel, promoting Stewart to the lead with Harvick in second and Stenhouse in third. Waltrip lost control of his car on the backstraightaway after driving off the side of the track onto the high banking on the race circuit, and crashed into the backstretch wall eight laps later after leaving pit road and returning to racing speed. The incident prompted the second caution, as all drivers save Stewart, Harvick, and Edwards stopped for fuel. This allowed drivers who were not drafting the race leader and teams that were conserving fuel to finish the race to return to contention. Stewart, Harvick and Edwards led at the lap 57 restart. Two laps later, Earnhardt and Edwards temporarily moved to first and second places but Stewart retook the lead on the same lap.

McMurray drove down from the top lane after exiting turn two and collided with Almirola in the middle lane, causing Almirola to collide with Danica Patrick on the inside lane while on the backstraightaway, sending her spinning into the inside SAFER wall, which she struck with the right-hand side of her car, causing significant damage. The impact broke up much of the car's front-end, and she removed her hands from the steering wheel to avoid fracturing her wrists and thumbs from the sudden impact to the steering column. The crash resulted in the race's third and final caution. Patrick was unharmed and was able to walk to an ambulance, which transported her to the in-field medical center. She was evaluated and released from the medical center. Bayne's splitter sustained minor damage when he drove over a spring from Patrick's car. The field was frozen in place, with the order of finish determined by where the drivers were when the caution began. This gave Stewart the win, his third Daytona 500 qualifier win in five years. Earnhardt finished second, and Ambrose, Burton and Edwards completed the top five finishers. McDowell and Robby Gordon earned the two transfers to enter the Daytona 500. The first race saw three cautions and eight lead changes amongst five different drivers. Hamlin led the most laps of any racer with 27. Stewart took the lead three times for a total of 21 laps.

### Race 2

Following the first Gatorade Duel, the Lead Category Manager at supermarket chain Harris Teeter, Steve Kravitz, commanded the drivers to start their engines. The weather was similar to that in the first Duel, albeit with a higher air temperature of 84 °F (29 °C). During the pace laps, Kahne had to move to the rear of the order because he had switched to his backup car. He was joined by Clint Bowyer—whose qualifying time was disallowed because his car twice failed the post-race inspection for height sticks, and Bill Elliott—who had switched his car's engine. Biffle maintained the lead going into the first turn, followed by Casey Mears. On lap three, Kenseth moved to the outside line to prepare for a race-leading overtake and was assisted by Johnson. Kenseth took the lead on the next lap with Johnson second, and Biffle dropping to third. By the twelfth lap, the top ten drivers were separated by one second, with Joey Logano and Kyle Busch moving to the front two spots by lap 14. Elliott Sadler nearly lost control of his car between turns one and two on lap 16 but was able to continue. Kenseth attempted to pass Kyle Busch on the outside of turn four on lap 17 but was stopped by Busch.

Kyle Busch moved into the lead on lap 18, while Logano lost positions. Blaney had advanced nine positions from 14th to fifth on lap 21; Logano had advanced to third by the same lap. On lap 23, Biffle took the lead. Kenseth, who was drafting off teammate Biffle, experienced overheating issues and dropped to ninth place. Biffle and Kyle Busch began battling for the lead on lap 26 through the fourth turn, and the duo switched positions for the next two laps. Biffle took the lead on the 29th lap. Regan Smith and Sadler had moved into third and fourth place on lap 33. Biffle reported debris in turn two, but officials were unable to locate it. Green flag pit stops began on lap 40; Kenseth, Logano, and Kyle Busch stopped on lap 42, followed by Biffle, Smith, and Jimmie Johnson on the following lap.

After the pit stops, Biffle retook the lead, Smith moved into second, and Johnson was in third. Sadler and Kenseth followed the top three drivers. Kyle Busch was drafting off Logano on lap 46 but developed engine troubles, allowing Logano to pull away. By the 50th lap, Biffle, Smith, Johnson, Sadler, and Kenseth were the top five. Kenseth had fallen to 13th but recovered to fifth after his crew chief Jimmy Fennig put him on a fuel-only pit stop. Johnson went up the track on lap 52 but regained control of his car. Six laps later, after the leaders ran single file, Johnson helped Kenseth on the outside line in preparation for a race-winning slingshot. Kenseth passed teammate Biffle on the inside of the tri-oval shortly after they began the final lap; Biffle had ignored his crew chief Matt Puccia's order to stay on the yellow line and shield the bottom of the circuit, instead veering to the outside to try to block oncoming traffic, losing momentum. Smith passed Johnson for second on the backstraightaway after both cars collided.

Kenseth maintained the lead and crossed the finish line on lap 60 to win the race. Smith finished in second and Johnson third. Sadler and Biffle completed the top five finishers. Blaney and Nemechek earned the second pair of transfer spots for the Daytona 500. Bayne, Raines, and Stremme qualified for the race based on their qualifying speed, while Terry Labonte qualified using a champion's provisional. Six drivers failed to qualify for the Daytona 500: Waltrip, Richardson, Bill Elliott, Mike Wallace, Kenny Wallace, and Yeley. They did not finish high enough in their respective Duels or set a fast enough qualifying lap. The second race saw five lead changes between four different drivers, with no cautions issues. Biffle led the most laps of any racer, at 40. Kenseth took the lead twice for a total of ten laps.

## Post-race comments

After the first race, Stewart drove to the victory lane; the win earned him $55,725. He said, "The fact that we've won 17 times here and not won on the right day is proof it's good momentum, but it's no guarantee obviously. It's nice to come here, especially for Steve and I, being our first race together, to be able to come out and have two really good strong and solid races back-to-back is an awesome start for us." Earnhardt felt the race was "pretty good" and congratulated Stewart on his victory. He also said that he intended to begin the Daytona 500 not in a backup car. Ambrose was happy with his finishing third, "We learned a lot for Sunday, we got a good result. We are smiling right now but it was very close to being the other way around." He also said he was hoping to carry his good form into the Daytona 500.

Waltrip, who failed to qualify for the Daytona 500 after crashing on lap 52, said he felt he had let everyone down, adding, "It's just really hard. I don't know what to say. It's just sad." Truex commented on his team owner Waltrip's non-qualification, "It's a tough one for him, He's been coming here a long time and this race means everything to him. It was hard to watch that." Patrick, who was hit by Almirola on the final lap and crashed heavily into the wall, said, "It sucks \[to hit the wall like that\]. You just have to brace yourself. I guess in these situations, I just have to be glad that I'm a small driver and that I've got room. Kinda hug it in and let it rip." She also said the crash was "a blessing in a big disguise". Patrick, along with Gilliland, Montoya and Menard, were required to drive their backup cars for the Daytona 500. After the wreck on lap nine, Gilliland cut his thumb on his helmet; the thumb required one stitch but he was confident about driving his backup car. According to Menard, who was involved in the lap nine wreck, "Somebody turned (David) Gilliland; I saw him get sideways underneath me. I was three lanes up and I tried to clear him and didn't quite make it." It took 56 minutes and 34 seconds to complete the first race; because it ended under caution, no margin of victory was recorded.

After winning the second race, Kenseth drove to the victory lane; earning $56,726 for the victory. Kenseth's victory awarded him and his team Roush Fenway Racing their first Gatorade Duels victory. Kenseth said, "Jimmie Johnson gave me a huge push there and really worked nice for me the whole race. Without that push it never would've got there. Greg lost his drafting partner. We were able to separate him and the #78 \[Regan Smith\] and we had such a big run that Greg was kind of a sitting duck." Second-place finisher Smith stated while he would have preferred to win the race, he had no complaints, "It's good to know that we have a car capable of running up front." Johnson, who finished third, said, "It was an awesome race. We really had a shot to win that one. It was unfortunate there at the end that there were some lapped cars that were kind of mixed in with the leaders. It would have been nice if they would have let us race there; at least from the white flag on." Biffle admitted that he should have remained on the inside line. It took 46 minutes and 23 seconds to complete the second race, and the margin of victory was 0.209 seconds.

After the races, there was continued discussion about overheating engines in high temperatures. Harvick said the temperatures of around 80 °F (27 °C) had affected the racing, the grills were "too tight" and competitors chose to remain in a single-file formation because of overheating. Smith said he believed there was no efficient method of tackling the problem. McMurray advocated the widening of the grille, saying, "it was a little hard to race because you got too hot". One day after the second race, NASCAR announced that no further changes would be made. Menard criticized the style of driving that was observed during both races, saying, "NASCAR is trying to dictate physics. Physics says two cars are going to push and they're trying to make rule changes to keep us from doing it, so it's kind of hybrid pack racing and tandem racing. It's causing a pretty unsafe situation." Robby Gordon was critical of Terry Labonte receiving a champion's provisional, saying, "When you look at it, besides pure speed, I think three guys make it on speed and, obviously, Terry takes a past champion. I disagree with that." He conceded, "But it is what it is. It's the rules. Like I said, we don't make the rules, we just play by them, and sometimes you can't manipulate them."

# 2012 California Golden Bears softball team

The **2012 California Golden Bears softball team** is the representative of the University of California in the 2012 NCAA Division I softball season. The team plays their home games in Levine-Fricke Field and they entered the 2012 season after making the Women's College World Series with a 45–13 record in 2011 and making the postseason for 27 straight years.

## Regular season

The 2012 season began for the Golden Bears with extremely high expectations with head coach Diane Ninemire going as far as comparing her 2012 squad to the Bears' 2002 national championship team. California started the season as #3 in the NFCA poll and spent most of the first half of the season as #1 in the ESPN poll and #2 in the NFCA poll. Heading into conference play, the Golden Bears had compiled a record of 26–1 with their only loss coming at the hands of then #18 Hawai'i in extra innings in Honolulu after previously beating then-#6 Texas in a hard fought game. To start off the conference slate, then-#2 California traveled across the bay to face then-#9 Stanford in a 3-game series in Palo Alto, and the Bears promptly swept the Cardinal to earn the #1 spot in both polls for the first time during the 2012 campaign. After the three game sweep of Stanford, the #1 Bears did not slow down, sweeping then-#3 Washington in Berkeley and unranked Utah in Salt Lake City. After the Washington series, the Bears were the unanimous #1 team in the country according to the NFCA and ESPN polls and at this same time, California came in as #1 in the NCAA's RPI rankings. The Bears would go on to face then-#13 Arizona and despite losing their first conference game to the Wildcats, they still won the series 2–1 and retained the #1 ranking in both the NFCA and ESPN polls. The following weekend, the Bears travelled to Eugene to take on the then-18th ranked Ducks, and again took two of three games and retained the #1 spot in both polls for a fifth consecutive week. On April 24, 2012, California was in first place in the Pac-12 Conference with Arizona State only one game behind the top ranked Bears. In the second-to-last conference series of the regular season, both the Sun Devils and Bears swept their opponents (Utah and Oregon State respectively) setting up a showdown in Berkeley for the conference championship. Going into the final weekend series of the regular season, the Golden Bears sported a 19–2 record in conference play and needed to take 2 of 3 from second place (and #2 in the national polls) Arizona State. The Bears won the first game of the series thanks to walk off two-run home run by senior Valerie Arioto and won the second game of the series by a final score of 5-0 therefore winning the inaugural Pac-12 championship. The 2012 conference championship was the Bears' first sole conference championship since 1987 (they shared a title in 2005), which just happened to be the first Pac-10 conference championship that was awarded. Because California won their conference, they received an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, was later awarded the #1 overall seed in the tournament, and because of the upgrades at Levine-Fricke Field, the Bears will host games in Berkeley for the first time since 1993.

### Attendance statistics

In 2012, California broke all attendance records for the softball program partially because on April 11, 2012, the University of California athletic department announced that they had more than doubled the capacity of Levine-Fricke Field by adding 704 bleacher seats in the outfield. On April 29, 2012, the California softball program broke the previous attendance record of 969 in a game against the UCLA Bruins with an announced crowd of 1,069, California then, however, broke the record again later on in the season with a crowd of 1,135 for the final game of the regular season. Overall, the Bears drew a crowd over 1,000 three times during the season for the first time in the program's history.

**Capacity:** 500 (Feb.-Apr. 10), 1,204 (Apr. 11-)
**Average attendance:** 529 (56.3% capacity)
**Total attendance:** 7,939 (15 games)

## Postseason

On May 13, 2012, it was announced that the Golden Bears would receive the #1 overall seed in the 2012 NCAA softball tournament and will host a regional at Levine-Fricke Field in Berkeley. Also, if the Bears advance to the Super Regionals, they will also host that series in Berkeley. In the past, Levine-Fricke Field has not been able to host tournament games because it was considered inadequate by NCAA standards, however, the University of California athletic department was able to add approximately 704 bleacher seats in the outfield to bring capacity well above the minimum of 500 in February 2012 and will rent temporary light and build a temporary press box in order to play night games and accommodate television crews.

### Berkeley Regional and Super Regional

The Bears opened up the tournament in Berkeley against the Iona Gaels on Friday, May 18, 2012. The regional will run from Friday, May 18 through Sunday, May 20 and will be a double-elimination tournament featuring #1 seeded California, Iona, Arkansas, and Boston University. The Bears won the first game of the Berkeley Regional by defeating the Iona Gaels 8–0 in 5 innings but then were shocked by Arkansas on day two of the regional losing 3-2 to the Razorbacks. California bounced back by defeating Boston University in 6 innings by a final score of 8–0 and promptly beat Arkansas 10–2 and 7–0 on Sunday to advance to the Super Regional round that will also be played at Levine-Fricke Field. The Bears defeated the #16 seed Washington Huskies in the Berkeley Super Regional in two straight games on May 26 and 27. After sweeping the Berkeley Super Regional, California earned a berth to the Women's College World Series for the 12th time in program history.

title: FERMT3

abstract: Fermitin family homolog 3) (FERMT3), also known as kindlin-3 (KIND3), MIG2-like protein (MIG2B), or unc-112-related protein 2 (URP2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FERMT3 gene. The kindlin family of proteins, member of the B4.1 superfamily, comprises three conserved protein homologues, kindlin 1, 2, and 3. They each contain a bipartite FERM domain comprising four subdomains F0, F1, F2, and F3 that show homology with the FERM head (H) domain of the cytoskeletal Talin protein. Kindlins have been linked to Kindler syndrome, leukocyte adhesion deficiency, cancer and other acquired human diseases. They are essential in the organisation of focal adhesions that mediate cell-extracellular matrix junctions and are involved in other cellular compartments that control cell-cell contacts and nucleus functioning. Therefore, they are responsible for cell to cell crosstalk via cell-cell contacts and integrin mediated cell adhesion through focal adhesion proteins and as specialised adhesion structures of hematopoietic cells they are also present in podosome's F actin surrounding ring structure. Isoform 2 may act as a repressor of NF-kappa-B and apoptosis

# FERMT3

**Fermitin family homolog 3)** (FERMT3), also known as **kindlin-3** (KIND3), **MIG2-like protein** (MIG2B), or **unc-112-related protein 2** (URP2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the *FERMT3* gene. The kindlin family of proteins, member of the B4.1 superfamily, comprises three conserved protein homologues, kindlin 1, 2, and 3. They each contain a bipartite FERM domain comprising four subdomains F0, F1, F2, and F3 that show homology with the FERM head (H) domain of the cytoskeletal Talin protein. Kindlins have been linked to Kindler syndrome, leukocyte adhesion deficiency, cancer and other acquired human diseases.

Isoform 2 may act as a repressor of NF-kappa-B and apoptosis

## Evolution

It has been suggested that the evolutionary source of a single ancestral Kindlin protein is the earliest metazoa, the Parazoa. Within vertebrates, these ancestral proteins were subjected to duplication processes in order to arrive at the actual Kindlin family. In comparison with other members of the B4.1 superfamily of proteins, the FERM domains in Kindlin homologues have a greater degree of conservation. The presence of an inserted pleckstrin homology domain within the FERM domain, suggests that the metazoan evolution of the FERM domain is the origination from a proto-talin protein in unicellular or proto-multicellular organisms.

## Function

The FERMT3 protein has a key role in the regulation of hemostasis and thrombosis. This protein may also help maintain the membrane skeleton of erythrocytes. Kindlin 3 is a cytoskeletal signalling protein involved in the activation of the glycoprotein receptor, integrin. Together with the Talin protein it binds cooperatively to beta integrin's cytoplasmic domain causing tail reorientation, thus altering the molecule's conformation. Modification of integrin's conformation serves to dissociate alpha and beta subunits by disrupting their interactions and helping the molecule adopt a high affinity state. FERMT3 functions as a stabilizer of the cytoskeleton and regulates its dynamics in cell and organelle motility.

## Clinical significance

FERMT3 mutations can result in autosomal recessive leukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome-III (LAD-III). a deficiency in beta1, beta2 and beta3 integrin activation in platelets and leukocytes that causes haemorrhaging and recurrent infections. Loss of FERMT3 expression in leukocytes compromises their adhesion to the inflamed endothelia and affects neutrophil binding and spreading while selectin mediated rolling is unaffected. It has also been found that FERMT3 lowers Natural Killer cell’s activation threshold, such that a loss of FERMT3 affects single receptor activation of NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity but has no impact on multiple receptors, where the protein deficiency is overcome and target cells are killed.

FERMT3 deficiency on β(2) integrin function depend on both cell type (Natural killer cell or Leukocytes) and the integrin activation stimulus. The prevention of the beta-3 activation is specifically related to LAD-3, causing Glanzmann's thrombasthenia symptoms, a condition in which patients bleed excessively. Leukocyte adhesion deficiency is diagnosed clinically and by complete blood counts that reveal leukocytosis with neutrophilia. Management and treatment of this disease aim to control these recurrent infections by antibiotics and blood transfusions, with bone marrow transplantation as the only curative measure. Failure to express the FERMT3 protein disrupts the ability to form clots and coagulate by preventing integrin αIIβ3-mediated platelet aggregation.

# Equatorial Guinea at the 1984 Summer Olympics

Equatorial Guinea competed at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States, which were held from 28 July to 12 August. This was the first time the country took part in a Summer Olympics. The delegation consisted of four athletics competitors: sprinters Gustavo Envela and Secundino Borabota, and middle-distance runners Bartolomé Esono Asumu and Diosdado Lozano. All four failed to advance beyond the initial heats in their respective competitions. The best performance came from Envela who placed fifth in the eighth heat of the men's 100 metres.

## Background

The Equatoguinean Olympic Committee was formed in 1980 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on 1 January 1984. The 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games were the first Olympics, Summer or Winter, Equatorial Guinea ever participated in after it accepted a formal invitation from the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee. As of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, the country has yet to debut in the Winter Olympics. Equatorial Guinea took part in the 1984 Summer Olympics from 28 July to 12 August. The Equatoguinean delegation to Los Angeles consisted of a group of four athletics competitors: sprinters Gustavo Envela and Secundino Borabota, and middle-distance runners Bartolomé Esono Asumu and Diosdado Lozano. The team was funded by a subsidy from the IOC. Borabota was chosen to be the flag bearer for the opening ceremony.

## Athletics (track and field)

At the age of 16, Gustavo Envela was the youngest person to represent Equatorial Guinea at the Los Angeles Games. He was drawn to compete in the eighth heat of the first round in the men's 100 metres on 3 August. Envela placed fifth out of eight sprinters with a time of 10.79 seconds. Since the top three in a heat, plus the next six overall fastest athletes progressed to the second round, that was the end of his participation in the men's 100 metres. Three days later, Envela took part in the first round of the men's 200 metres and was assigned heat eight along with seven other runners. He finished this race in a time of 22.14 seconds, which was seventh out of eight competitors. This was not sufficient for Envela to advance to the second round. Envela would go on to compete for Equatorial Guinea in the next three Summer Olympics and became a political activist after retiring.

23 year old Secundino Borabota was the oldest athlete to compete for Equatorial Guinea at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics. On 4 August, he took part in the first round of the men's 400 metres. Assigned to the third heat and starting from lane two, Borabota, unfamiliar with the rule that all runners had to stay in their lane during the sprint and hurdle races, was observed cutting off Innocent Egbunike of Nigeria on the first turn. While running, Egbunike yelled at Borabota for 100 m (330 ft) before he got by him on the inside line and won the heat. Egbunike subsequently called for officials to disqualify Borabota, which they did. Afterwards, Borabota explained he switched lanes inadvertently because of an injury he sustained and remarked, "Lane one is a good lane." Nevertheless, Borabota represented Equatorial Guinea at the 1988 Summer Olympics.

Bartolomé Esono Asumu was 21 years old at the time of the 1984 Games and was competing in his first Summer Olympics. His only race was the men's 800 metres, which he took part in the first round on 3 August. Asumu finished seventh and last in the seventh heat in a time of two minutes and 17.29 seconds. As the top three from each heat plus the next five fastest from all nine heats advanced to the second round, he was eliminated as his qualifying time was the slowest overall.

Diosdado Lozano was 20 years old at the time of these Summer Games and was making his Olympic debut. His only event was the men's 1500 metres, and on 9 August he was assigned to run in the second round's sixth heat. The top three in a heat, plus the next five overall fastest athletes advanced to the quarterfinals. Lozano finished his heat in a time of four minutes and 34.71 seconds and was eliminated from further contention as it placed him tenth and last of all the finishing runners.
