联合通讯社9月1日消息 美联社伦敦9月1日电――在水晶宫举行的 爱梅克国际田径比赛 阿莫科 [译者应查清但不一定要译出的信息：Amoco Oil Corporation was founded in 1889 by John

丹, 挪;
and “迈耶” in 英, 芬).
Since German is one of the three official languages of Switzerland (spoken by
64% of the population [the other two being French (19%) and Italian (8%)]),
we should transliterate this name as it is pronounced in German, Italian,
Hungarian, Romanian, Czech, and Polish (“迈尔”), rather than as in Spanish, Portugese, Danish,
and Norwegian (“梅耶尔”), or as in English and Finish (“迈耶”).}。迈尔梅埃的成绩是 59.59秒 五十九秒九五。
马克·霍尔顿以十三秒九○的成绩获得了100米 一百一十米 障碍赛

进入国际比赛的门槛/参赛要求相当低，但在这样的邀请赛中频频上演出色的表演。参加这次国际运动会比赛的选手阵容水准较低标准定得相当低，但是，运动会的邀请靖赛项目中出现了一些不俗的表现好成绩 <发生了不少精彩的赛事>。
