ETC. NHL SABRES LOSE HAWERCHUK TO KNEE INJURY

In Moscow, Olympic medalist Eduard Zenovka has been charged with drunken driving in a car crash last week that killed his fiancee, world champion rhythmic gymnast Oksana Kostina, police said.

Zenovka remained in intensive care Tuesday in a Moscow hospital. He has not regained consciousness since the accident on Thursday.

Zenovka, 24, won a bronze medal for the Unified Team in individual competition in the modern pentathlon, and a silver medal in the team competition, at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

Kostina, 21, died during surgery after the wreck.

The car swerved on Moscow's outer ring road and crashed into a truck.

Turner Broadcasting System Inc. and Capital Cities/ABC are discussing a possible joint bid to broadcast the 1996 Summer Olympics from Atlanta, officials with both companies confirmed.

"We have determined we are interested in an Olympics package, assuming that it's financially feasible," Turner spokesman Gary McKillips said.

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the companies may televise the 1996 Games on four networks: ABC; ESPN, a sports channel majority owned by Capital Cities; and TBS and TNT, cable networks owned by Turner.
