The championships served as a selection event for a dual meet against the Soviet Union athletics team soon after. Long jumper Bouncy Moore protested the conditions of the jumping pit, which was filled with rocks and stable dirt. Moore qualified for the finals but did not jump after that out of protest. Moore said, "I ache all over, even though I only took one jump. If I had known the conditions would be this bad, I would have brought some sand from San Diego". [2]
