Original Toronto Star caption: She Bows Out -- Gracefully. Lise Arsenault; 22; performs optional exercises for 17;000 spectators at Montreal Forum yesterday in helping Canada's women's gymnastics team to a ninth-place finish; best ever in Olympics. However; Miss Arsenault; of Brampton; failed to qualify for Individual competition. I'm really happy; though; she said; because this is the last time I'll be competing in Olympics and we did so well. There's terific spirit on this team. Three teammates qualified.
