TKt RUSSIANS ARENT COMING - The Rus­ sians aren't coming, but it doesn't seem to bother ABC. The network is going ahead as planned with its 186 hours of Olympic coverage, and there is no truth to the rumor that it will fill Olympic-reserved air time with reruns of "Battle of the Network Stars" instead. In fact, the network has announced an Olympic- size list of sportscasters, led by 10-time Emmy winner Jim McKay, to describe the Soviet-less Games McKay^s broadcasting team will include Al Michaels, who was elected Sportscaster of the Year in 1980 after his handling of the Winter Games at Lake Placid. Michaels will cover the track and field events, as well as the road cycling. And, as always, there's Howard Cosell. Cosell will describe the boxing matches -- as long as they're amateur it's OK with him. Helping Cosell will be vet­ eran announcer Chris Schenkle. who's also slated to cover the equestrian events. Keith Jackson, the football voice, will cover the basketball games, and Emmy winner Jack Whitaker will comment on gymnastics and diving. Bill Flemming of "ABC's Wide World of Sports" will watch the track cyclists go round and round in the Velodrome, and reliable Curt.Gowdy, another Emmy winner, will describe the wild action of. free­ style wrestling and rowing. The Olympic coverage will be broken down into three segments: daytime, primetime and late night. Daytime coverage will be handled by Frank Gif- ford and Kathleen Sullivan, the pert sportscaster who co-hosted the late-night shows of the Winter Games in Sarajevo with Jim Lampley Primetime coverage belongs to McKay, and the late night watch once again falls to Lampley, but this time his partner will be two-time Olymipic medal winner in swimming Donna de Varona.
