Original Toronto Star caption: This is the competitive side of Debbie Van Kiekebelt; glamor girl of Canada's Olympic team and one of most photographed athletes in Olympic Village. The Mississauga school girl who appears more model than athlete away from track does a rapid turnabout; with her long hair flying and attractive looks drawn into grim determination in long jump action of demanding pentathlon. Her efforts were handicapped by sore ankle; Miss van K.; had to settle for 15th place.
