BARBADOS' OLYMPIC BRONZE MEDALLIST Obadele Thompson was scheduled to marry American sprinter Marion Jones in North Carolina, United States, yesterday.

However, the SUNDAY SUN was unable to confirm whether the ceremony took place.

Numerous calls and checks with newspapers in the Raleigh, North Carolina area proved futile. Night Editor Winston Cavin at the News and Observer in Raleigh said last night a team visited the home of Jones earlier in the day but "there was nobody there. . . nothing going on". He said they were unable to confirm up to press time if and where the wedding took place. (CM)
