Original Toronto Star caption: A dejected Toller Cranston leaves Broadmoor Arena at Colorado Springs after he finished fourth in men's world figure skating championships yesterday. Coach Ellen Burka, however, is able to manage a smile. The 25-year-old Toronto skater played it safe instead of gambling in free skating program. That cost him title.
