	Athletics: Fredericks issues stern warning to sprint rivals
		FRANKIE FREDERICKS eschewed the chilly conditions in the Olympic Stadium to issue a warning at the Grand Prix II meeting here last night that may reverberate all the way to another Olympic stadium, in Atlanta, next month; the Namibian ran the 100 metres in 9.87sec, equalling the third fastest time yet.
		Fredericks has every reason to think seriously about attempting the 100-200 metre double in Atlanta, a decision that will be taken later.
		Fredericks was assisted by a following wind of 1.9 metres per second, but the time was way beyond expectations on a night when virtually everyone complained about the cold; intrinsically, this was perhaps the finest sprint performance.

		Fredericks, who took silver in the 100 and 200 metre races in the past two Olympics, was Namibia's sole hope for a medal at the Commonwealth Games.
